It is near Silcock's Fun Palace, Higgitt's Las Vegas Amusements, Paris Casino, and Bloomfield Road. The hotel is close to a train station. Liverpool John Lennon Airport is the nearest airport, and Blackpool International Airport is 5 km away.

“Glendowie Hotel offers decent accommodation; the rooms, while small and with outdated decor, are functional and clean, and the owner's attentiveness is a definite plus. While the immediate area suffers from visible disrepair, the hotel's location is convenient for accessing Blackpool's attractions and offers a good value if you simply need a place to sleep.”

great price clean rooms close shower warm room unavailable fans run down area
The accommodation had a great price. the rooms were clean. They had what we needed. the quadruple room did not have an en-suite. however, the shower was just five metres away!
Our room sat at the top of the hotel. It was very warm! there was no air and no way to relieve this. fans were unavailable, and the staff seemed unbothered by this. The area looks run down. i felt very unsafe walking down the road!

The bathroom lacked sufficient light and was quite dark. the shower temperature proved difficult to regulate. It alternated between excessively cold and hot. i found the uneven floors throughout the hotel particularly unsettling. external surroundings gave a run down feel to the area

The shower was not good, it was either too hot or too cold. Controlling the water temperature was hard. I also had to place the kettle on the floor to plug it in because the cord was too short. The bed was not comfortable at all, I didn't sleep well.
