Independent, Blackpool hotels

"We had 3 rooms as we took our elderly parents for an overnight treat, and we booked dinner, B&B to keep life simple and also because the hotel entertainment looked good. We arrived on the day after my dads birthday and when reception heard of this, they treated him to a lollipop! Checkin was very friendly, rooms all nice, clean and comfortable. Evening meal was very tasty and efficient with a good choice and sensible wine prices. From parking in the garage to restaurant service and checkin, service was friendly and excellent in the hotel. Evening entertainment with Helen Farrell and the Four Ds was in a recently refurbished bar area and was again excellent, with my parents favourably comparing the singers to cruise ship holidays. The compère Lucy was also great as well as being very friendly! The weekend was topped by my dad - who’s never played bingo - winning £100 in the cash bingo in the evening, having already been presented (unexpectedly) with a bottle of fizz during the show for his birthday. We’ve always been a bit snobbish about staying in the centre of Blackpool but a stay at the Ruskin has completely changed our minds. Amazing service, good meals and comfortable rooms only 5 minutes from the seafront - well recommended!"

"Fast check in. Staff were all friendly. Room was nice enough. Bar was nice with a goid choice. Also had an evening meal, which we really enjoyed. Would definitely stay there again, but wouldn't bother with the breakfast. I'd buy that elsewhere."
