Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Best Western Carlton Hotel enjoys a convenient location near the North Pier, with the tram stop just adjacent, making it easy to explore. Guests appreciate the on-site parking, though it can get busy, and the homely bar area, which, notably, doesn't have gambling or arcade machines. Many find the breakfast good, though some guests have noted that the rooms are a bit dated. Some rooms offer lovely seafront views, and amenities like tea, coffee, biscuits, and water are provided.

great breakfastlovely staffburned holesshower water
The breakfast was great, with plenty of choices. The location was also very convenient. It provided easy access to many amenities. The staff members were lovely.
The room was noisy and did not seem very well maintained. The carpet had burned holes. The shower water temperature kept changing quickly. It went from burning hot to freezing cold.
