The Craig-Y-Don Hotel is a Blackpool seafront hotel and it's very good at what it aims to be. My room was spotlessly clean and the linen and towels were fresh. Everything worked as it should have. All of the staff were really polite and friendly, they were also very efficient and good at their jobs. The breakfast was good with plenty of options from which to choose. The location is convenient for the attractions that Blackpool offers and I have no worries about recommending it; I would certainly stay there again.

Staff were first class, from bar staff, breakfast and reception. Nothing was ever too much. Staying in a group and some rooms dated but still completely fine, could see they are in the process of upgrading and one of the group was in said room and was lovely. Beautiful bar area too and lovely to be right on the water, near local attractions and right across from the tram stop. Parking just along the road too for £45 for 3 days which isn’t too bad. Absolutely top class service and would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!

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).
