6/10 Good

Good place to stay

Hotel in excellent place on the promenade near to everything very clean staff very friendly they only thing I didn't like was the coffee in the dining room at breakfast and the food wasn't hot could have done with a microwave to hot it up.

We will be bXk

Booked last minute as a getaway and loved the hotel. Friendly staff good breakfast and superb entertainment in the evening. It was a themed weekend with Tom Jones and Robbie Williams tributes and they were both excellent. Our room was spacious and comfy we were in one of the rooms that used to the The Balmoral hotel that Craig y Don have took over and knocked through. Bar prices were cheaper than bars just done the road as well.

Older Hotel/Motel in Blackpool, UK

Craig-Y-Don is an older motel/hotel. There is no air conditioning which made sleeping very uncomfortable for the time of year we visited (Early September).
