Choose your price range

Estimate your expenses when choosing value hotels. Take meals prices, ticket prices and transportation expenses into consideration. If your accommodation in Blackpool includes a free breakfast, you'll save money by avoiding restaurant prices. Bed and breakfasts usually include meals in the room price, but you may have to share a bathroom. Hence, if you have strict time schedules, you may need to forgo the free meal for accommodations with a private bathroom. If you'll be paying for parking, a more expensive hotel with free parking might save you money. It's important to consider everything before you finalise a decision.
