Getting there and getting around

From Blackpool North it is about 6 mins on foot, a manageable walk with a bag, though a taxi may appeal late at night. The Prom at North Pier is 8 mins away and the Tower is 14 mins, so a sea-air stroll before dinner is easy to fit in. The safety guide has sensible tips for getting home after dark.

Is it the right fit?

Staying above a bar is convenient and usually keeps costs down, but you will hear the building on busy nights, so ask for a quieter room if you want an early night. If Lu-Lu's Cabaret Lounge is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are The Belvedere, Chaps Hotel, Peek-a-Booze; the stays directory compares them all.
