Grand Hotel Blackpool
Breakfast was good value & staff very friendly. Room was fairly clean but bathroom looked tired with stains on bath and show not staying up that easily. Rooms not very soundproof as you could hear everything in the corridors like the door was open at times. Overall though good value.
