Buying a hotel in blackpool...
Discussion
Is this a viable business idea?, Anyone here done it?..
Say a 12 bedroomed hotel like the one below, Bought mortgage free and running it with my partner..
I'd probably take it on as a project over a year or two before opening, Bringing it upto date while finding out what people like in a hotel...
I know Blackpool gets a reputation but it is still a very popular seaside town even through October to November because of the illuminations
One below is just an example, I wont be thinking about purchasing for around a year...

Jeez! You wouldn't get a garage round here for that.
Stayed in similar up in Blackpool for work and it was busy but the place gave me the shivers. Mind you at that price and keep the customers coming in, that could be a lot of profit.
Good luck
Yeah, Thinking it could be a good start as opposed to buying a house...Stayed in similar up in Blackpool for work and it was busy but the place gave me the shivers. Mind you at that price and keep the customers coming in, that could be a lot of profit.

Would take some learning though before purchasing to make sure its ran right..

You get people who have never been abroad in there life for whatever reason
we had people who come 4 times a year.. every year
its not and never will be like the hay day of the 60s 70s when hundreds of people used to sleep on the piers because there wasn't a bed left in the town or like the bloke a few doors from me had bunk beds made in two sheds out the back to rent out
there's a lot rundown and shutting down but they are the people who have never updated anything or have hit there own bar ...this happens a lot
there are hundreds of hotels for sale but if you think about it there are thousands running and making money
