“Not For Families.....Not Clean.....Noisy!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

Stayed here for a lads weekend in October. Arranged at short notice.
Let me start by saying that I can understand hotels and b and b's in Blackpool don't want their rooms being trashed by drunken groups of lads and lasses, and I can understand that they don't want to spend good money on furnishings and fittings......but this hotel was poor and there is no excuse for being dirty.
Our rooms had broken furniture, very dirty carpets that you dare not walk on in bare feet, and dirty duvets, bedsheets and mattresses with big brown and yellow and red? stains on.
We have stayed in many Blackpool digs over the years and this is the worse by far.
Although this is a non smoking hotel, cigarette smoke was evident on all floor levels. This was compounded by a severe lack of fresh air and ventilation.
Loud music was played throughout the night until almost breakfast time. There were people running up and down stairs and corridors all night shouting and slamming doors.
We DID NOT eat or drink in this hotel so can't comment on food or drink.
I mentioned earlier we were on a lads weekend and I can assure you 100% we are not boring people, we had a good drink all day and came back in the early hours full of beer, but we all felt the same way about this hotel.........unclean, outdated.......and no sleep!
Firgrove come on, spend some money on the place and get it cleaned. If your worried about damage to your rooms or sick on the floor, start taking a returnable bond from your visitors like some other hotels do.

Room Tip: Take a sleeping bag, some air freshener and some earplugs.

“not that bad !”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

we were dreading staying here after reading the reviews but its not that bad ! Good points = great all you can eat breakfast, friendly staff, great location no need for taxis and clean sheets and towels ! Bad points = not very clean but I did take my own anti bac wipes after reading the reviews so after 5 mins my room was fine. The furniture is outdated and broken but you dont have to worry about noise or partying here and can come and go as you please. Well worth staying here if you are on hen, stag or party night and it is cheap. Bar next door is £2 pint or house double !!!

Room Tip: first 2 floors are better rooms and as the lift doesnt work its a long way to the top by stairs

“Vert friendly and helpful.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

We booked this hotel for my partners birthday. There were 12 of us in our group and we found this hotel very friendly and helpful.

Although the decor needs updating, the rooms were clean and the sheets and towels were clean and smelled fresh. The rooms were also spacious, after staying in some in Blackpool this was good.

This hotel accepts group bookings, which are often out of control and messy ( not my group!), this hotel handled this very well, professionally and without causing problems to other guests.

After problems with another hotel that originally accepted our booking took a deposit then THEY cancelled and would not pay the full deposit back. I would rather stay at this hotel with it's decor than one which practices bad business!
