The Driftwood Hotel's location is a definite plus, placing guests conveniently between the South Pier and Central Pier and close to Blackpool's seafront.

Wonderful Staff and Great Location

friendly staffwarm welcomegreat location
The staff was friendly. I appreciated their warm welcome when I arrived before check-in time. I asked if I could leave my suitcase. The staff agreed to store it until I return later. The location is great too. It is close to the seafront.
The room looked a little small for four people.
Dining

I saw a breakfast area. It was small. I also observed the area includes toasters and a coffee machine. This helps guests start their day conveniently.
Rooms

The room contained a kettle. Unfortunately it had no cups for making tea or coffee. I noticed the TV was not working. It also lacked a remote control.
