Anyone live in/near Lytham St Anne's, or has visited it recently?

A friend has decided to get married in Blackpool in early June, and is having the reception in Lytham St. Anne's. I'm looking for recommendations for a one-night hotel/B&B, and/or good overnight parking. It seems a lot of the hotels don't have much in the way of parking;

I was considering the Travelodge nearby (the price is right at £40!) but there seems to be precious little information on overnight parking, especially the NCP/Euro multi-storey on St George's Road.

Anyone got any recent experience?
 
I used to work in Lytham St Anne's.

I'd recommend the Dalmeny as the better hotel (but not so much parking) and the Glendower as the next best (with plenty of parking). For both hotels, there is plenty of on road parking outside the hotel - parking wont be an issue for any hotel on South Promenade (no parking restrictions from 6pm to 6am, so as long as you move your car before 9am, you're golden).
 
Isnt blackpool the epitome of the words "chav central" where every hotel room comes with a corner sofa and a 6 pack of fosters.

Not a place i hear of people heading off too get married there often!

Plenty of people get married in Blackpool and there are some really good hotels (Imperial, Hilton, Savoy etc). The better hotels are all North Shore way. 13 million visitors in 2016 think there is something worth going there for.

Besides, the reception location, Lytham St Annes, isn't Blackpool.
 
Thanks for the replies thus far chaps. The wedding itself is in Blackpool, but the reception is indeed further south in Lytham. Ideally I'd like to keep the budget tight as I'm about to buy a house (and every penny counts etc.), hence the Travelodge. Will take a look at the Dalmeny.
 
There's also the Bedford, Carlton, Inn on the Prom, basically there's a lot of choice in St Annes as it's mostly hotels and old people's homes (I grew up there so do know it quite well!)

The Travelodge is above an M&S and that has a short-stay car park - not sure what the parking is like for the Travelodge - likely not great, there are residential streets ~5 mins walk but that's not ideal.
 
Have stayed in The Grand a few times in st Anne's which is nice enough and tends to be reasonably priced


Dalmenny and Glendower both fine, but Glendower would be at the bottom of my list of the three.

Have also stayed in Hotel mode, which from memory was very cheap and perfectly acceptable

total LOL. we stayed there for 6 weeks due to work training, it's a toilet. staff are apathetic, alarm calls are about a 50% chance at best, getting a decent room [ie one that doesn't have kicked-in door damage, badly fitted/damaged fittings, crap/no views etc etc etc] is about a 15% chance. i could go on and on, seriously.

It's probably proportionally just as chavvy as any other town or city but has more tourists.

I've stayed in a few hotels there and found them to be quite decent for the price, some of cheap hotels / B&B's are poor but you get what you pay for.
 
I've had a response from EuroCarParks regarding the multi-storey car park on St George's Road. It is still open, and the overnight charge seems reasonable at £3.50. It's walking distance to the Travelodge so I might bite the bullet and do that...

The Dalmeny and Glendower look perfectly decent for a one-night stay; bear in mid chaps I'll be quite inebriated after my mate's wedding reception and so just need somewhere half decent to rest my head! You should try Fawlty Towers in Great Yarmouth if you want chav central!
