Perfectly lovely little hotel right on the sea front. Lovely views and the room was larger than I expected. Price was a lot less than I expected so great value for money! Very quiet so no problems sleeping. Would recommend!

Overally very good. I had a small room which may not have been the best, but still a beech view. Downstairs very ornate.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel, we got upgraded to the Seaview room upon arrival. Gorgeous views, and the room was super clean. Not to mention a huge and comfy bed. Would stay again :)

Very clean. We got the last available room (room 10) which is very small, but has everything you need. On top floor with windows but no view. Very cheap though, and you get what you pay for. The sister hotel, the Savoy, looks splendid. No food at Wavecrest, but there are plenty decent eateries close by.

Was on a course at Fleetwood Nautical College and stayed at Wavecrest Hotel, and breakfasts were at Savoy Hotel 5 doors down. Both hotels are really good with lush living rooms. Breakfast is hearty and all the staff are welcoming and freindly. They will offer mariners a deal for those doing their mates/masters/seconds/chiefs tickets at the natural college on a 6 week basis which is good to know.
