The hosts were very nice and helpful. Hotel staff were very friendly. The breakfast was really good. We had no problem parking at the hotel. The rooms were clean. The hotel was in a great location for us to roam the strip. We would stay here again.

A group of us went to Blackpool for the night to celebrate a friends birthday and when we arrived at the hotel we had originally booked, we were informed no such booking had taken place, which then left 10 of us with no where to stay. Thankfully, the Kensington had had a cancellation and we were able to book in... More

Dirty, small, basic rooms and the staff are not bothered. Went to watch the open golf, the place was a dreadful advert for UK hotels, if I were someone from another country this would put me off the UK for good. little parking for guests so you have to park across the road and get up early because of restrictions....

Really warm and friendly hotel - lovely hosts and excellent, helpful staff. Absolute tardis of a hotel, comfortable and plenty to do if you wish to spend any time in the hotel. Missed out on the entertainment, would love to revisit when the caberet is in full swing, food and service excellent.
