The Driftwood Hotel

On arrival, the lady that met us was lovely, thats the only positive. We were then sent to the hotel next door as apparently they were both connected. We were greeted by a hallway full of dirty washing, followed by the dirtiest room I've ever been in. There was a communal room that shouldve been a bar room but was not fit for use My partner cleaned the place when we got there and we still couldn't stop. We left half an hour after we got there and didn't spend the night. The bed was broken and uncomfortable. The toilet still had sh*t in it. There were no handles on the drawers so they couldn't be used. The bathroom was filled with mould and the toilet roll was just sat on the dirty windowsill. Wouldn't recommend to anybody. The cheap price shouldn't mean this amount of uncleanliness is acceptable.

Room is clean and comfortable Good value for money Suits me fine, not a palace but I'm not paying for one I've extended my stay

The staff were great and provided a travel cot for the little one too, really friendly and great price. nice and close to the seafront. Perhaps not ideal if you have more than one child but absolutely ideal for a couple or quiet getaway. Good experience all in all

Wow. This is definitely an establishment to AVOID. I'm accustomed to 'roughing it' and totally believe that you get what you pay for, but this place doesn't even meet the very most basic of standards. On arrival, the communal areas are dirty, untidy, and smelly. Up in the bedroom, the room was very small, with no area or provision to hang any clothing. The bed was small with an extremely lumpy mattress. Springs sticking out on the side, causing a skin tear by walking past the bed. The TV didn't work, the window was broken, the bedding was stained, pillows were extremely thin, and only 2 provided. The en suite was small, mouldy, and dirty. Downstairs, it appeared the hosts were having a party with people shouting loudly, swearing, arguing, drinking, and taking dr*gs. There are other budget b&bs in Blackpool that can offer so much more. Room was £35 a night, managed to find a room for £19 which far exceeded the standards of this hell hole. Please avoid and find somewhere else.

Absolutely shocking place to stay definitely not is advertised on any of the pictures. Drawers broken, tobacco in the top draw, stains on the floor and no milk for refreshments in the morning. Think money spent on soap and shower gel more than on the room. Small, dinghy and no room. I know it was advertised as a budget room but I'm sure the homeless on the streets had better accomodation. Ended up moving after 1 night and paying for another room in a other hotel.

Booked this hotel as it was low cost for the one night but didn’t expect it to be such a sh*t hole. Turns out there’s 2 Driftwood hotels in the area which caused confusion. Got to our Driftwood hotel and was greeted by a woman from the neighbouring ‘hotel’ she let us in and showed us the Wi-Fi code and then left. Both doors for the rooms booked weren’t secure and could be VERY easily accessed. Thankfully we were staying with a trusted male friend but if we weren’t we wouldn’t have stayed overnight. Very noisy, rooms were appalling and rundown. Wi-Fi didn’t work and the bathrooms were a state. No soap in the bathroom or working water in the sinks. Please do yourself a favour and don’t book.

We arrived at the driftwood yesterday to a locked door with two numbers on the door saying we could call for help. Both numbers were rang numerous times, but nobody answered. Check in was supposed to be at 3pm and as it was only 1pm we left our car on the drive and walked into town to take the kids for lunch etc. We walked back to the driftwood at 3.30pm and again the door was locked nobody was answering when we called the numbers left on the door. Another family then arrived and were locked out with us, we were all stood outside in the heavy rain with children getting absolutely soaked. A man then came to the door and told us that he was renting a room, we noticed random people coming in and out of the doors that weren't staying at the property it didn't seem very safe for young children maybe a stag or hen doo but I wouldn't advise families staying at this place. Anyhow we didn't get to view the room we were supposed to stay in because nobody was available to check us in. We ended up going asking a few other b&bs if they had any rooms available but they were all full (the ones we asked). We ended up driving home luckily we only live an hour and a half away so we didn't mind we much preferred to drive home than stay in that mess. Something seedy seems to be going on in there alot of unusual men in and out I would not have young children staying there. DO NOT STAY HERE YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF AND IF YOUR UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE ROOMS THEN GOOD LUCK!

Staff were friendly but beds hard as anything, couldn’t have food or drink in the place and there’s no bar when they said we have to purchase stuff in the bar. Hardly any plug sockets. Shower broken. We had no towels. Noise in the morning and forced to check out at 11am leaving us with nowhere to go for the day.

Porter seemed drunk, given wrong room, given bunk beds instead of two single beds, decor indescribable, rough bed sheets and pillow cases TV remote didn't work very well, alright if you was out on the piss but not for a family.
