“Hotel242 strikes me as a particularly welcoming spot, especially given its proximity to Blackpool's trams and illuminations. The hosts clearly aim for a personal touch, considering small details like waffle night and birthday gifts. While the made-to-order breakfast requires a bit of patience, the overall impression points to a clean, comfortable, and friendly stay.”

Mediocre Experience
dated room parking problem
The room was quite dated (I really think it needs some updating). The small TV was annoying. I also found the lack of shampoo and body wash disappointing. Those should be standard. Parking was a problem as well. I was blocked in at one point.
