If you're looking for a hotel that doubles as a live-action circus, you've found your match! From the moment I stepped in, I thought I'd accidentally gate-crashed a gymnastics meet—kids were cartwheeling through the air with the grace of caffeinated squirrels, while the adults wandered around like they'd returned to their spiritual homeland. The bar staff? Lightning fast—service so quick I half-expected my drink to arrive before I even ordered it. As for the lift system… it's less "elevator" and more "adventure course." You go up to the second floor only to be sent down a flight of stairs onto a mysterious landing, then back up again. I told myself, if the fire alarm goes off, just leave me. Seems easier. The room? Clean and tidy, though the previous guest clearly thought the drawers were their personal time capsule. Easy to miss, of course—if you happen to be a cleaner with x-ray vision set to "off." Paper-thin walls meant that at midnight, my neighbors (in room 217, for those keeping score) gave me a front-row seat to their drunken soap opera. At one point, I thought they’d strolled into *my* room for Act Two. Things finally went quiet… until they got a phone call and started arguing with *them* as well. A true multi-platform drama. Sleep? Optional. But breakfast was the hero of the trip: cereals galore, a proper English fry-up, and toast with tea or coffee. A feast fit for a sleep-deprived zombie. Bonus: the TV in my room works brilliantly, as my unneighborly neighbors discovered when I cranked it up to maximum volume in my own little act of passive-aggressive revenge. The staff? Absolute legends—polite, helpful, and ready to apologize for things way out of their control. Blackpool may be famous for its tower, but this hotel deserves its own attraction status for sheer entertainment value alone. Bravo! 🎭 The hotel proved to be an excellent choice for families with children.

No, all sarcasm aside. I loved that kids could be kids, and parents didn't have to suppress them from having engery bouts. But being there with my 15 yr old I can honestly say, I'm so glad all mine are grown up. Lol I really hope all those dancing which where staying at the hotel,as there was alot of comps, (we was there for UDO) did well, and we bet you looked amazing. I honestly do not know where you find the energy. X

Great location, nice big bar area, comfy beds

Bathroom needed bit of attention, sliding door wasn’t the best causing hole in vinyl flooring

We love the breakfast so YUMMY! was really gopd start of the day. . .staffs are so friendly, there are no housekeeping but they are really helpful if you need somwthing to fix in the room. The hotel lobby was so welcoming and the location is just a walk away from the main events.cheers to all! Dislike: they need to upgrade the shower, the sink, the bin since they dont have housekeeping might put a big bin and store plastic for the rabish specially in the room bathroom. Cups in the room and dinning needs to be check for cleanliness. Anyway The Lawton is the best i can say i can stay compared to other hotels nearby. If you just sleep at night and go around in the morning, this hotel is suits you. .Cheers Lawton. Its time for you to upgrade!

location and good breakfast

the room was a bit to hot and I could only open a small top window.

Good breakfast Large room Easy parking Friendly and helpful staff Comfortable beds, slept great. Check in was easy and efficient, Nicola was really helpful, gave us the info we needed and directed us to our parking (less than a minute from the hotel). The guy on night duty was also very helpful and we felt very welcome. Will definately stay there on our next visit.

Room in need of some TLC but for the price its worth the trade off. It isnt for those that like to pick fault with their room.

Don't be put off by the colour on the outside ...this is a warm friendly hotel with excellent food and staff ...for the price I wasn't expecting linen table cloths and serviettes but that's what we got ..the rooms were spacious and clean with really deep comfy mattresses ..excellent modern bathroom ..this hotel is in a great location 5 minutes walk from the prom and Blackpool tower ..I am disabled and get even allowed us to park in a spot behind the hotel .they were marvellous. cannot fault this hotel

There was nothing not to like ..I was more than pleased

Very Family friendly, no loud groups, Very Quiet Upstairs ( so in rooms), baby sleep and so does everyone else! 24/7 security and reception desk with drinks /crisps. Very nice breakfast, rooms comfortable with TV, kettle, tea bags etc also shower en suite with towels ( regular sized not too big ) but maybe bring own bigger towel if you feel you'd need an extra large, and bring own toiletries as not provided. Helpful polite staff, games room - snooker or pool/darts/table football, big seating lounge areas to meet up/ kids play or have a drink /sandwich in. Location 4 minutes walk to tower.

Nothing.

The location of the property was really good The breakfast was lovely The staff

The room was incredibly hot, no air con, although windows were open and radiators were off we was literally sweating and really uncomfortable with the heat. The mattresses were really squeaky and both adults woke up with sore backs and the mattress was uncomfortable. The duvet was like paper and although appreciated with the heat from the room I would like to think the duvets would be ABIT fluffier. The bunk beds we felt were a little unsafe (atleast the steps were anyway) The lighting where the bunk beds were was awful, although lights under each bed they were far too bright to have on.

Staff were friendly throughout the whole of our stay, room was perfect for the 4 of us, clean and the kids loved the bunk bed. We were able to park behind the hotel for the whole of our stay for a small charge, and due to the location we walked everywhere. Breakfast was lovely, we would definitely stay again.

The only slight downside was our room was the first in the corridor so it was right by the entrance door and at times we could hear people walking past and opening/closing the door. However this wasn’t a huge issue as we had a good sized room and would be happy to stay in it again.

Excellent location within Blackpool so central to all the main attractions and the pleasure beach is a brisk 20 min walk away or 3 mins on a tram! Staff welcoming and hotel was clean and comfortable

Bathrooms need re-sealed as it’s black and mouldy, more attention to detail when cleaning especially in corners of the room and in the bathroom. Hotel could do with a designated area for unloading at the front of the hotel on arrival as we felt quite harassed when told at 7.45pm at night that we would get a ticket immediately so then had to move the car after paying £14 for parking at the sister hotel to then have to carry heavy luggage albeit a short distance however this could be managed a lot better.
