Canasta Hotel - Blackpool, United Kingdom     

Just got back from a 2 night family stay (all ages) at the Canasta. I would like to say that this hotel offers the best value for money stay that you could wish for. The service was excellent and staff were all friendly without exception. The general cleanliness of the hotel area and bedrooms was very good and the overall opinion of all our party was that the breakfast offered was among the best any of us had experienced in hotels charging a lot more and offering a lot less ! The drink prices are very reasonable and the free tea & coffee on request was another plus. As they were not offering evening meals the option of ordering a local takeaway was available, with the staff going to the trouble of setting the tables for you to make use of, which I thought was another nice touch. To sum up (if you haven't already got the picture) If, when you go on holiday you LIKE to have a dirty hotel, surly staff, expensive drinks and bad food, DO NOT go to the Canasta as you will be very disappointed !

We have returned from our 3rd stay at the Canasta and cannot wait to return. We were met at the reception by Dougie the hotel owner, who greeted us like family with a warm and friendly welcome, we were not not just checked and given keys, we were given complimentary tea and coffee which if wanted are available all day long. The bar is well stocked and the prices are very reasonable. The bedrooms are clean and well maintained, with tea and coffee making facilities in each room. Breakfast is the best in Blackpool ,if not the whole of the country, eat as much as you desire with plenty of choice. Altough the hotel doesn't serve an evening meal they have a list of local restaurants that will delivery to the hotel and you can eat in the hoteldining room were you will be given plates and cuttlery. At weekends there is karioke which is good fun and everyone is given the oppertunity to join in. The Canasta, in our opininion is the best value for money hotel in Blackpool. We are booked in for New Years 3 day party, which we are really looking forward to. But i am sure we will be back again before then! Give it a try you wont be disappointed!!
