“The Empire Inn strikes me as a decent choice, blending a central Blackpool location, proximity to the beach and updated rooms with flat-screen TVs; the on-site parking is a definite plus. While some aspects may not scream 'luxury,' the 24-hour desk and the friendly staff I read about clearly aim to please, and the option of a Full English breakfast is tempting after a night out. Overall, it's a solid base for exploring the area.”

mixed feelings about this stay

ideal locationtiny sink
the location was ideal for exploring the area.
The room felt quite small despite it being a beautiful room. The bathroom sink was tiny. i kept losing electricity in the bathroom due to a fault, requiring me to reset the power at the circuit box. This happened every time i turned on the light. It was not what i expected.
