I booked this hotel not knowing and reviews or its location. On arrival i phoned the owner Kath who allowed me to leave my bag at the hotel as i had arrived early,they even put my luggage in my room for me. When i returned to the hotel to see my room i was they happy with it, i was in the only single room in the hotel which was a good size and very clean and modern, the bathroom was a good size and again to a clean and modern standard. The breakfast was at 9am and was a buffet style and was all self service the food was excellent and the service you got was excellent. Kath asked how you was every morning and was always helpful. I would most certainly stay here again.

Lovely, homely place to stay for a weekend break. Fantastic, friendly hosts, giving information on nearby restaurants and places to visit; helped with any questions that we had and made us feel very welcome and at home. Would definitely consider returning to Marlow Lodge if revisiting Blackpool.

on arrival met kath a verry nice bubbly person made to feel like a long lost friend told about night life and goings on room very clean had a good nights sleep breakfast was superb great value for money would recommend will defo come back and stay again

We received a very friendly welcome from Rick at Marlow Lodge. It is conveniently located two minutes walk back from the South Shore so convenient for all the amenities yet quiet. The first floor room was spacious with a kingsize bed, sofa and coffee table. There was plenty of storage and an en suite shower room. The room was very clean and the decor was fresh and appeared recently completed. Kath served us breakfast in the bright and clean restaurant. There was an ample choice of juice, fruit, cereals & yoghurt. Hot breakfasts were generous and made to order.
We took Rick's advice and ate dinner at The Sands near Central Pier. An amazing new venue with a relaxed bistro bar, stage & dance floor with great value for money dinner and show deals. There is also an a la carte restaurant on the upper floor with fantastic views towards both South and North Shores. We ate a sumtuous meal there and watched the illuminations in style before enjoying a very good kings of Leon tribute band.
There has clearly been a lot of investment in the resort. I particularly enjoyed the wide promenade on teh sea front and the skywalk at the top of the Tower. The mix of warm northern hospitality, the natural beauty of the beach and the joy of traditional amenities and amusements make me wish I'd visited Blackpool sooner. I will definitely return.
