First of all, the biggest advantage of hotels in this area is their good accessibility. They are close to National Rail and National Express stations, so it is easy to travel to London or other cities immediately after arriving.
And this James Bond hotel is clean. The Plaza Hotel next door has some smelly rooms, but this hotel is clean and has no smell. I recommend it.
There is also a bar in the basement so you can enjoy it.
Near the main centre of the city and train station just a short walk away. Tesco round the corner for drinks etc so very well situated for that too. Rooms tidy if basic, and beds comfy. Would recommend it.
I booked this place over the Easter weekend, purely based on the fact it was two thirds cheaper than the chain hotels which were nearby.
The hotel is located a 2 minute walk away from Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It is also a 1 minute walk away from the nearest Wetherspoons pub, South Pier & Sandcastle Leisure Centre...along with some nice local cafes, (Rendezvous), and cheaper end shops, sticks of rock were nearly half the price this end of the seafront.
My expectations were low for this hotel, I've stayed in the area before and knew I wasn't booking 5 star.
I was pleasantly surprised. We were met at the door promptly and greeted. What I first noticed was the electronic security lock on the door and on all rooms.
The entrance was spotless and there were no funny smells of damp etc.
The hotel was warm from top to bottom. We visited during storm Dave...so that leads on to our room. I booked a family room with 1 double and 2 single beds. We were given a double and a bunk bed, this wasn't a massive issue as my 2 children, who were older, agreed to make the best of what we had. I never complained as we were only here for 2 days.
We had 2 separate rooms that were both en-suite with a toilet, sink and shower. They were fully stocked with toilet rolls, body wash/shampoo and hand wash, which was a nice touch.
The beds were clean, the covers/pillows were basic, but again clean. The double bed was super comfortable,, the bunk beds were a good size, but probably could have done with an extra couple of pillows.
All the heaters worked a treat and we were never cold for a minute, in fact the rooms heated nicely.
We had tea, coffee & water in the room for our use too!
There wasn't a view from the windows, but who cared, we were there for the rides, amusements and shopping.
The hotel is located as stated near the Pleasure Beach, for high street shopping, you can either take a nice walk, which would be over half an hour or get a tram or taxi. We got Uber, which was around £6 each way from the hotel to Primark or Wendy's. That's right near Treasure Island and the Tower.
I really can't fault this place, it was quiet, the host was always about and extremely helpful and the price was the best we were getting on an Easter weekend. Yes there were other guests here, no you couldn't hear every voice and or footstep.
If you're on a budget or just want somewhere clean, tidy and warm, give this place a go.
I took the pictures fairly hastily, the room was extremely tidy at the time we checked in. The pictures I took were at check out.
My daughter and I stayed here overnight while she was attending a dance competition. The hotel was lovely. We were greeted with a smile by the owner, who was friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful.
We had a spacious, sea view room. It was clean, large enough to sleep 5. The bed was very comfortable. We had plenty of hot drink supplies. The toiletries provided were fantastic.
Very happy with the price and would be happy to return in the future.
Thank you Vinnie's, it's been great.

ゲゲストPamela & Peter were great making sure I had everything I needed, including car parking availability. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was basic but hot. I didn’t use the tv & nearby chair but they were available. The breakfast was good & I had a very tasty home-made steak pie & veg one evening. Plenty of pubs and curry restaurants nearby.
ゲゲストClean and tidy room, quad with private bathroom, 2 double beds. Blinds on windows instead of curtains and not blackout blinds, which left gaps in so people could see into room. Tv and tea/coffee in room. No breakfast available as no chef currently employed. £50 cash deposit must be given on check-in which was returned with no problem after room inspection. Well stocked bar and karaoke with bingo was played on Friday and Saturday night. Parking available at £10 a night but looked a bit risky out the back so didn’t park here. Reception not always manned and can be a long wait for someone to come after pressing bell. No hot water on 2nd morning so it looks like the early risers take all the hot water. For the price for a family of 4 over easter it wasn’t as bad as some reviews.
SScottish travellerWe've stayed 3 times already. No breakfast facilities but never an issue as we prefer a long lie in. Really close to Blackpool North station. Short walk to all our favourite places - Abingdon Street Market, Funny Girls, Galleon, Soul Suite, Wintergardens, West Coast Rock, Cafe Continental (breakfast/ lunch venue) Little Black Pug and lots of other great shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs & charity shops. Easy access to trams & buses to various other areas & 10 min walk to North Pier/ prom.
