“The Benson Hotel strikes me as a genuinely welcoming place. Its greatest strength appears to be the friendly staff, who seem ready to accommodate guests' needs, even on short notice. While lacking a full restaurant service at present, this hotel still offers a comfortable and conveniently located stay in Blackpool.”
