By the very nature of my job, I have been inside almost all the hotels from Fleetwood to Leafy Lytham, and I have to say that this is most probably the best hotel on the Fylde coast by a country mile. The Imperial Hotel, including the Presidential Suite where the queen stayed, does not even come close to the attention to detail and quality of service the St Ives Hotel provides.

The hotel looks really lovely, very tastefully decorated and it looks so inviting. Love that there are balconies over looking the beach, I can just imagine sitting there with a coffee, watching the sunset. The beds look very comfy too. It would be lovely to stay there instead of Blackpool, just for a change. Your friend is really nice Stephen, he seems like he would be very welcoming. Thank you for doing the hotel walk about, it was brilliant, hope you do more of them when you get time. ❤ xxx

My absolutely favourite hotel on the fylde coast. I've been annualy staying at the St Ives hotel since the age of 7 (now 30) over the years I've met and befriended some excellent staff there. Great facilities and family entertainment. Me and my ex partner where the last couple they looked after in the 1st March lock down 2020. My only quarm with the hotel is they building itself.. it needs a surveyor in.. to the right of the reception area there is a flight of wonkey stairs, corridors etv.. I took a spirit level with me last time and definitely needs a look in and the cleaning staff need to be attentive to areas such as behind the flat screen tellies though

....very nice - I wonder if it's ever been on 'Four In A Bed' on television ? It annoys me that so many people criticise places in the programme due to lack of parking ...though this Hotel has plenty . The Blackpool ones don't often have parking because back in the boom years most people arrived by train , then coach holidays became popular ...and few people had cars then anyway.
