I just had to share this about Pride Lodge. Pride Lodge of Blackpool was our place to stay for an entire week while visiting the United Kingdom.  As it turned out, we couldn't have picked a better hotel than Pride Lodge, or one in a better location!  Catering exclusively to the LGBT crowd, Pride Lodge, is situated in the heart of the gay venues of Blackpool, and is within easy walking distance, a mere few blocks, of a number of gay pubs, clubs, and saunas.  Pride Lodge is also close to the heart of the vibrant Blackpool scene.  A short stroll takes one down to the packed beach and "cruisy" promenade, or to a host of different restaurants and shops, and even Blackpool Tower, the "Eiffel Tower" of Northern England.  Moreover, being so close to the train station in Blackpool makes it incredibly easy for LGBT travelers to get to Pride Lodge.  One doesn't even need a taxi!  So, if you are coming by car, just park it and forget it, as we did.  You won't need it to get around if you stay at Pride Lodge! The adorable and friendly proprietors, Keith and Tony, saw to our every need,   I mean that!  The room we had was of a good size, clean, pleasingly decorated, well appointed, and with an en suite bathroom.  In fact, the room lacked for nothing.  It had everything from flat screen television with built-in DVD player to ironing board and iron!  Room service is provided and you can have delicious breakfasts and other excellent items cooked to perfection for you by Keith, who is an accomplished chef!    The best part, the price for all this, was truly a bargain!  Compared to other hotels, guesthouses, and B&Bs in the UK, or anywhere else for that matter, Keith and Tony's Pride Lodge was a steal!  They even have plans that include extra free nights!  So, you get a lot of bang for your buck!  You see, we originally picked Pride Lodge because of its reasonable prices and great location.  We didn't know at the time it was also such a great place to stay!What more can I say?  If you are looking for a wonderful LGBT hotel that is centrally located for both the gay, as well as regular tourist venues of Blackpool, with clean, tastefully decorated, and well-appointed rooms, service that is superb, and all at a bargain price, Pride Lodge, with its handsome proprietors, Keith and Tony, is the place to go.  I unreservedly recommend Pride Lodge to all!  Seldom, if ever, have I stayed at such a marvelous place.  And, I'll tell you this -- I'm going there again.  Next trip to the UK, Pride Lodge, here I come!  Keith and Tony, get ready, because I'll be back!
