I have never stayed in Blackpool itself. The Travel Lodge in Preston is ok though.

This would of course depend largely on your budget, but the BigBlueHotel listed above is actually very nice, one of Blackpools better hotels for sure.

Right at the other end of town and budget is the castle hotel in Norbreck. huge place so no parking issues there and well away from the town centre and casual passers by.

Stayed in both Premier Ins and the one on the roundabout just off the Mway, all ok for their price.

Also stayed in the Hilton which was very nice.

That was back in 2003 and I since have sworn that town is 1 I will never step foot in again.

My last statement wasn't against the town Stu, but if I don't go back, it means I can't run into my gold digging ***** of an ex.
