Just returned from a two night stay at The Sands Hotel in Blackpool.
We arrived around 12:30 and parked on the adjacent car park belonging to The Viking Hotel (£8 a day, go straight in and get a permit or risk being clamped) and popped across to see what time we could check in. We were given a very warm welcome from Heather - Moe and Jimmy's daughter - and told we could check in then and there as our room was ready.
The room was just what we expected from a family room, we were a party of 2 adults and 2 kids, but it was a room that would have comfortably slept 5 as there was a set of bunk beds, a single bed and a double bed.
The room was very clean with towels laid out along with soap for those who forget to take any.
We didn't meet Moe and Jimmy until breakfast time on the first morning and found them to be just as welcoming as Heather.
Typical breakfast with a choice of cereals followed by a full English, kids get a choice of 3 cooked items from the menu, plenty of toast and hot drinks all served with a smile.
We can't comment on the bar as we didn't get in until late and rarely drink alcohol while travelling with the kids.
The hotel is ideally situated on the promenade directly opposite the South Pier and a 5 minute stroll to the Pleasure Beach.
Despite this there was no noise of a nighttime so falling asleep was not a problem.
We would definitely stay here again.
