Forshaws Hotel - Blackpool

The seafront location was great but was put into probably one of the worst room locations as I had booked from Trip. Come (as advised by receptionist) Was only staying for one night so not too much a issue but not suitable for any longer stays

We was in a disability room there was only 2 plug sockets furniture had to be rearranged so I plug my cpac machine in was told by 2 staff members I could have an extention but wasn't given one and had to ask twice for a shower chair as there was anywhere to sit if you can't stand to have a shower noisy at night from surrounding clubs till about 3am not there fault they do have double glazing and thick curtains staff was friendly it was clean

Rooms Were Functional, wet Room Was Bigger than Bedroom Massive. Windows were filthy and unable to be opened

Poor from start to finish. Room was small and very basic, not anything like the images they have on their website. Bathroom had black mould all around the bottom of the shower. The waterproof membrane in the bathroom was lifting and peeling. Bed was uncomfoatable, with only 2 very flat and cheap pillows, and then we were woken by other guests screaming and creating in the hallway way after midnight. Would not recommend.

So this hotel used to be a Travelodge so a lot of the original fixtures and fittings are still in place - the red bathroom tiles, the blue carpet. Typical Travelodge Facelift rooms, but boy have they been badly maintained since. Moved room 3 times - first had blood all over the mattress protector, so thick that I could see it through the bedsheets. Second had sewer gas coming up through the shower drain, third had the noisiest air con/heater in the world but Reception gave me a (brand new, wrapped) electric heater which worked just fine. Saving grace here is the staff, they’re honestly really helpful and must get so fed up of dealing with maintenance and cleaning issues, so to remain cheerful and offer solutions makes them a real credit. If only the owners/management invested the profits back into the fabric of the building this could be a great hotel in a perfect location.

Lovely hotel in great location my only complaint is the 10am check out. Never had that in any hotel I’ve stayed at before and doesn’t state anywhere in the room this 😢

Looks nothing like it’s advertised. Front doors grubby, windows grubby in room and canteen, no full English breakfast, communal area on floor three sticky and mould in the bathroom, only 2 plug sockets and that was loose and far from bedroom. very disappointed. I must say Staff were very friendly

Good standard, tnough room looked a bit tired re. decor etc. & shower cubicle needed some attention re. grouting etc. Reception staff polite, friendly & helpful. Breakfast not a great deal of variety but was okay. ✅ & I would stay there again

Very surprised this is a Best Western Hotel I would have expected better. Last minute booking and to be honest the only available reasonably priced room. Paid 70.00 for new years eve so in that respect good value. However you do expect a reasonable standard from a chain hotel. The outside is very grubby so not a good start. The automatic door got stuck so receptionist had to come and force it open. Bright decor inside and reception area. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. On the other side of the door (our room) very basic no remote for the TV reception could not find one thanks to the receptionist for showing us how to operate from the back of the TV. Heater in the room was effective. Windows need a good clean surely this should be part of general maintenance. You are on the main street so a bit noisy but this did not really bother us. There was what seemed to be a homeless person taking her washing up back to reception did not bother us but is part of this building being used for another purpose? Excellent location for the Winter Gardens and Turtle Bay uses part of the building. It will not take much to get this hotel in good order so come on Best Western you can do better than this!!!
