Car Parking:
We do have car parking space and we can cater for approximately six cars. This works on a first come first served basis. Cars are parked at the guest’s discretion and as the space is limited, guests may have to move their cars each morning to prevent people getting blocked in due to the shape of the car park. Should you want the freedom to use your car as and when you please, the nearest car park (Palatine Road Car Park) is located at the bottom of the street. The hotel car parking is an added service and free of charge throughout your stay.

Checking in and out:
We aim to have your room ready for your arrival. Check in time is at 2pm. If for any reason your rooms are not ready then you are welcome to use the hotel facilities and leave your luggage with us. Checking out is slightly different. We ask you to vacate your rooms at 11am, and once again you are free to use all the hotel facilities until you depart. We can provide you with courtesy facilities should you have a late train, coach or flight. Please ask us if you require a late check out room.

Smoking:
Our hotel is non-smoking. We provide a smoke-free environment for all of our guests and ask for you to respect our policies. If you do smoke there is comfortable seating outside to the front of the hotel.

Late Keys:
All rooms are issued with a late key on arrival. The late key will give you flexibility to come and go as you please.

Location Information
Blackpool is the perfect base if you are planning on exploring Lancashire; it offers an excellent motorway and road network. We also have great rail links, ferry links and easy access to three international airports (Blackpool, Liverpool and Manchester). Lancashire is a beautiful county, with spectacular scenery and a breathtaking coastline, including Blackpool, the UK’s most popular seaside resort. The Fylde is located in the holiday area of Blackpool and centrally-located to all of the main attractions in the town. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is about a 20-minute walk south from the hotel. Across the road from the Pleasure Beach you will find the South Pier and the Sandcastle water park, which is one of the largest indoor water parks in Europe. It is ideal on a rainy day! More centrally-located attractions, such as the Sea Life Center, the waxworks, the Dr Who exhibition and Blackpool Tower are all within a ten minute stroll of the hotel. Those wanting to watch a show can visit the Blackpool Grand Theatre in the town centre. You will also find that Blackpool holds many conferences and competitions at the Winter Gardens and holds fantastic shows and concerts throughout the year in the Opera House and Empress Ballroom. Participants and families of Blackpool Dance competitions and conference delegates will find it is in walking distance to the venue. For the more independent travelers, walkers and cyclists, Lancashire and the Wyre can open a haven of adventure. We can offer the facilities to store your bikes and boots and provide packed lunches for your days of exploration.
