“Canasta Hotel, in Blackpool's quieter North end, strikes me as a property in transition, now under new ownership. While some areas clearly await refurbishment, the staff's friendliness and the spotless cleanliness suggest a solid foundation. I appreciate its location, a convenient base that is slightly removed from the main tourist crush.”

the family room was a great size, there was a double bed plus three full-size singles for the kids! an en-suite bathroom was a huge plus. we even had a sea view from all the beds! the staff were super friendly, helpful, and really easy to talk to.

decent sea view

helpful information local attraction clean room

the staff was friendly and accommodating upon arrival. the gentleman at reception provided helpful information about local attractions. the room was ready and clean upon arrival, which i appreciated. i found the onsite car park especially convenient, it saved me time and hassle.

the lift wasn't working, this made it difficult to access my room on an upper floor.

Facilities

8/10

Onsite parking was available. It cost £10 per day. the hotel includes a bar, but it was not in operation . a broken lift complicated access to upper floors, and this should be a priority.

Rooms

The room had a tv, i found it helpful for entertainment. the room featured a desk and dressing table. These provided adequate space for personal items. the sea view from the beautiful double room added some enjoyment to my stay.

Service

The reception staff was polite and cute. lane, the staff member, offered assistance with my luggage. he provided recommendations for local restaurants. i did appreciate that.

Location

the location is near the seafront. it is close to north pier as well. it is suitable for visiting local attractions. the hotel is not in the very heart of town, it is close enough for a short walk.

Dining

Tea and coffee facilities were available in the room. the hotel has a kitchen. it doesn't serve food. i did see some beer pumps but they weren't working, so drinking a cold pint was not an option.
