Reply With QuoteI’m often in Blackpool for work. The one at the football ground and the Hilton are my preferences. If you are driving the De Vere Village hotel also has a good reputation.
This may be a long shot but I'm travelling up on Wednesday night for business and need a decent hotel for just the one night
Desperately trying not to be snobby but having looking at Booking.com and TripAdvsior they all have a slight whiff of stag & hens, swingers and 80 year old ballroom dancers?
Anyone have any recent positive experience they can share otherwise it may be a case of heading for Lytham and travelling in?
Cheers
Chris

Try “The Stranded Hotel” that’s quite nice.
Blackpool? I spent a month there one night.
Stick to the Hilton.
The Village Hotel & Spa is lovely. Decent price, really good food, nice hotel in nice grounds and a good bar too if you don't fancy the restaurant. Excellent leisure facilities too.
Away from the front but well worth it in my opinion.
Blackpool FC
Good shout. Looks great from outside.Originally Posted by RJM25R
Thanks for the feedback chaps. Couple of useful options there.
Now just trying to weigh up the location/quality for the walk to my meeting the next morning.
Currently looks like the Hampton Hilton is best option so far.

Blackpool FC looked great but no availability unfortunately.
Your right to ask...
I attended a few conferences up there over the years and there are some nasty horrible grim hotels up there.
I know a good hotel in Lytham st annes but I'd stick to the Hilton.
Its sad to say but I dont really stay in the smaller hotels and B&Bs anymore. Its too much of a lottery.
The Big Blue is okay (for Blackpool). Reasonably modern and the food in the restaurant is okay. The major downside is that you might have a rollercoaster going past your window (it’s right next to the Pleasure Beach).
I’ve stayed at The Imperial which was decent. Where Labour used to hold their party conferences.
^ Stayed there for a bit of a shambolic dirty weekend once, oddly the room stank like a chip shop!
Blackpool, it's Dodge City without the horses
Ribby Hall Spa hotel is ok.
Also benefits from not being in centre of Blackpool
Take a look at Number 1 south Beach

The first time I had the grave misfortune to visit Blackpool a couple of years back, I LOL-ed like a loon at the hotel on the seafront with a great big sign proudly proclaiming “BLACKPOOL HOTEL OF THE YEAR 1982”.
If you ever need convincing of the need your own Council's planning deparment, a hour or two amid Blackpool's complete lack of one should convince you.
Took the family to Blackpool last year for a weekend. Stayed in Marriott Worsley park and country club just outside Manchester, great hotel and only 40 minute drive to the pleasure beach.
