My wife and I have recently returned from our 5th stay this year, at our favourite seafront hotel.
I am very surprised at reading a number of very damning and negative reviews for this little gem of a hotel, we actually stumbled across the Crewes about 4 or 5 years ago, after walking out of a very dirty grimey hotel from approx. 5 doors away and probably would never have returned to Blackpool. We were offered a lovely seaview room on the first floor which was very spacious, clean and tatefully decorated. The rest is history as we have revisited on many occasions and always found Debbie and the staff to be amongst the most friendly and likeable people we have ever met.
On one occasion when the Crewes could not accomodate us we also tried another neighbouring hotel, which I might add was much larger and more expensive than the Crewes only to find yet again being very dissapointed with the size of the room and the cleanliness. From now on with us it's the Crewes or nothing, the value for money is very hard to beat. The hotel is ideally located and although they have no parking facilities we never seem to have trouble parking in the local area around the back of the hotel.
We do enjoy a good breakfast and Debbie and the girls serve us a hearty breakfast of our choice which carries us through to lunchtime and beyond. The dining room is spacious and nicely decorated and the service is excellent with nothing being too much trouble.
Thanks to Debbie and the staff for another great year at The Crewes Original, we will certainly be back in the New Year and would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an ideal location with a lovely view of the beach from the front, nice and clean with very friendly staff.
Jackie and Mark.
