this is not a 5 star hotel! but if you want a friendly and helpful staff and a excellant breakfast then stop here.we were a party of 14 ,mixed ages.we were all pleased with the clean beds and comfortable rooms.yes they might need to redecorate a few,but all in all we were very pleased for what we got.thankyou fabio for putting up with us especialy phil!! many thanks for a great weekend.we will be back soon.

hotel is not very clean and a bit run down but you have clean towels hot running water and a clean bed to sleep in! Bar is brilliantly cheap 2.50 for double vodka and coke and vodka wasn't an unknown brand. Spencer the dog is harmless he is so well behaved and lovely! Fabio is helpful and friendly Janet was lovely and we all left happy would stay again

me and my boyfriend have just spent a fantastic night at the howards crest hotel. i am very fussy about where i stay but i cant praise this hotel enough. our seaview room was very clean smelt nice and the bed was so comfortable, the owner janet is so friendly and down to earth we talked to her for hours in the bar like we had known her for years , fabio bends over backwards for you anything you ask for he will get it for you straight away, ben is also friendly soon as we walked into the bar we where talikng to all of them we felt so welcome and spencer the dog is so lovely and well behaved he came over to say hello and then he goes back over to his chair and sits there unless called, the bar is lovely and big and very cheap for a blackpool promenade hotel we sat and talked with janet an fabio in the bar for hours, we had the most comfortable sleep. the next moring fabio served us a lovely breakfast with extras as we had requested for free the breakfast was lovey and there was plenty to eat we could not manage it all when it was time to leave we said goodbye an said we would be back in october and we cannot wait this hotel is the friendliest hotel in blackpool and the best value foe money i would reccomend it to anyone

we stayed here for our 1st family blackpool holiday and we loved every minute of it. We had a lovely family room,the staff were friendly and helpful and very welcoming. The few problems that we had the staff bent over backwards to help, spencer the dog is part of the hotel and wouldnt be the same without him, were already saving for next yrs trip and were bringing some of our friends too see you all then xxxxxx
