Booked two rooms, when we arrived the carpets at the stairs were very dated, the furniture in the rooms were bare. In one of the rooms it was not cleaned as there were numerous long hairs in the showers, both rooms did not have the usual condiments of tea and coffee in which one had coffee but no milk and the other had milk but no coffee. This hotel has gone downhill since the ibis left. Weve been going here for years however for £345 for 2 rooms for 3 nights it wasnt worth the money. We both agreed we would not stay here the next time we come to blackpool.

Terrible view of a chimney pot, pigeons and pigeon muck. Paid £14 for breakfast which was grim ( continental) but coffee was like washing up water and the boiled eggs were grey.

Wont be going back there.
We was given a room with no open windows. The room was dirty. We were moved to another room. It was slightly better. There was mold all around the shower frame. Shower room was dirty. Shower not very powerful. There was an horrible smell in the landing area. External doors in the hall way didnt have a soft closing. So all night we kept getting woken up by the door banging as our room was just through the door. Over all not a good stay. Certainly not worth the £116 we paid for the night.

August 2024 midweek break, honest review
The room was straigh on the sea front with views off the north pier. When i arrived the lobby had a bit off a foisty smell, thisxwas before checkin and they where cleaning.when we booked in the room had a strong smell inside, we bought a bottle of bleach to clean the bathroom where the smell was coming from (it was more cabbage than anything else) the room had 2 plug sockets inside, the hotel is a listed building oldest hotel in Blackpool but modern life requires more than 2 sockets. My wife and son slept on the double bed and i slept on the single bed, my mattress was lumpy, with rises and dips. The breakfat the following morning, a continental breakfast which we where charged £10 each was a choice off a greyish yoghurt, toast, over boiled eggs, cereal, cossant chocolate muffins, ham and cream cheese. I thought it was very mixed and matched. The staff where friendly. I was glad to book out and head home.

Hotel location is superb. Bed comfortable and room clean. Staff helpful - but limited in what they can do. Overall the hotel needs money invested to improve. Lift out of order. Room stank of cigarette smoke. Window filthy. Steam vent in bathroom partially blocked with paper - clearly put in by previous clients for some reason. Also no soap provided.

Room was dirty as me and the partner found a hair in one of the cups, my partner didn’t enjoy the bed and as a result to this has received a bad back, it’s really good that you have a discount in the car park and it’s more than half of the car park itself. Good spot as there’s loads of things around the area.

This was my third stay at Forshaws Hotel. Unfortunately I won’t be staying again. There was an incident on my first night & I contacted reception, as I was extremely frightened. I expressed my worries & asked to be transferred to another room, especially as I was a solo traveler. The receptionist stated a room transfer wasn’t available, & I never heard anything else. Wanted to leave after two days but didn’t want to lose out on my money. I checked out a day early & wasnt asked why. I bought some cleaning supplies as most surfaces were either dusty or dirty. I couldn’t watch tv due to the aerial being poor.
