I haven't Lurked for a few years now John and I have had a couple of bad experiences at Travelodges , I stayed at one near Drury Lane in London recently and wouldn't go back ther , I always say you only get what you pay for .Both my Daughters stayed at the Bloomfield Road Travelodge in Blackpool recently and were not that impressed either , ive booked the Caroli ladies in a Small Hotel in Blackpool in August they are going to see the show Mama Mia , and will see what they say .

Good to see I was right last night with the Fax result , I think your game against Fev at the Shay will be very important in deciding 2nd Spot , I knew you had faith in Fax ,Batley are also playing well at the moment , you never know a trip to the LSV might await you in the play-offs . .

Ian, I used to deliver to the hotels and resturants of Blackpool, thats one of the reasons I tend not to eat there if possible ,it really is a sheeitehole, strangely I was working there today

Steve I agree there are some real Toilets going under the name of Hotels in Blackpool , I know I have stayed in a few ,I do spend a lot of nights in Blackpool , as I love the place , but NOT the Town centre , I only ever eat where I know they are clean , but as I have said there are some very nice places .For the Magic Week-end im going to try to book at Ribby Hall , the food is very good , a good Water Centre for both kids and adults , and evening entertainment for all ages .Though I never miss a flutter at the Casino .

Don't worry Midge , its just what my Daughters told me , ive never stayed there , they could be wrong , and you are only going to sleep there , if you are happy what you have paid , then who am I to knock it .You will be there at Blackpool , that's all that matters .

I booked yesterday at the Carousel , I have stayed there before and it was ok as we had the grandchildren with us but it must be about 5/6 yrs ago however not sure what it`s like now but seems ok . The price was coming up £68 online but rang the hotel direct and was quoted £60 ....result ,they do have rooms still available as well.

I have stayed at the Carousel on 3 occasions , I think it is now owned by New Proprieters ,a big Hotel with entertainment , I prefer the South Shore end when staying in Blackpool .

I prefer the really South of Blackpool, Liverpool! Honestly, Blackpool makes Mixenden look posh! I think a day trip on't train for us. Rat & Rat, shudds. White Rat 4.0% Mmm!

You'll have a great stay, there is a bar and restaurant in the hotel.
Never mind the snobs, if it's good enough for Mrshalifaxjohn it's good enough for royalty.
