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 staff warm welcome great 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 looked 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.
