I stayed at the Premier Inn next to Blackpool Airport with a member of my family. We booked a triple room online via the Premier Inn website, the site allowed us to make the booking, but when we arrived at the hotel a triple wasn't available, so we took a double and we went about making up the single bed in the room ourselves. The room we were allocated was room 102 on the first floor, this room is directly above the hotel entrance and reception area, if you are given this room ask for another as you will not sleep. There is clearly a problem with fire doors at this hotel. Both the fire door on the ground floor leading to the stairs and the fire door at the top of the stairs on the first floor need adjusting as they both bang loudly - both can be heard in room 102. Also the staff door to the reception area clashes and can be heard in the room if not closed carefully, in fact sitting under room 102 there are at least five doors, plus people constantly coming and going - noise is a form of torture! It was very noisy during the check in period but we thought that after 11:00 pm it would quieten down, and it did to a certain extent. But we then got woken up on multiple occasions by banging doors at 2:45 am, 4:40 am and then again around 5:30 am; we gave up trying to sleep. Eventually I went to reception and asked to be moved to see if we could get a few hours sleep before travelling, we were moved to a room on the other side of the building, these rooms look onto the airport. For thirty minutes or so things were quiet...until the noise from the airport began, beginning with a helicopter taking off then multiple small aircraft, the noise was horrendous; at this point we were in hysterics, fits of laughter, here we were in a hotel, we had paid to sleep yet we were wide awake and exhausted. There has been no attempt to dampen down the noise from the airport - the exterior walls of the hotel are extremely thin - a sleeping bag next to the runway would certainly have been cheaper. We are not the only guests that have experienced the madness of room 102, there is another review on Trip Advisor that mentions this room! We left the hotel tired and in need of sleep - don't take room 102 at the Premier Inn Blackpool Airport Hotel.
