I did not want to leave there, had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and would definitely go again. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful with cheese and classical music playing softly and good muesli, nothing to complain about. The location was convenient as for me. Besides, this hotel was located 2 km away from Genting Casino Blackpool.
