Each hotel typically has between 110 and 160 rooms, a Pub & Grill, a Starbucks, meeting & conference rooms (branded as MeetMe Business Hub) and VWorks (new addition to hire smaller meeting rooms by the hour or a monthly membership to use facilities within VWorks) Most hotels also have a spa and the Village Hotel Blackpool has an 18-hole golf course.
