My Wife and I stayed here recently whilst spending some time relaxing in Manchester.
We drove from Preston and the hotel couldn't be easier to find. We planned to park up, take the train from Horwich Parkway (3 minutes walk from the hotel, turn right from the main entrance and cross the road in front, it's just down past the Harvester. £3.75 return for an adult, takes about 15 minutes to Oxford Road, 5 more to Piccadilly) for a spa treatment day at Banatine's.
We popped in quickly to ask if we could park up whilst in Manchester, and cheekily asked if the room was ready. Wonderfully it was, and at 10am (officially check in is 3pm) we were in our room! We went into Manchester and back without any issue.
There are ASDA and Tesco stores on the retail park which we used, and also Pizza Hut, McDonald's, KFC, Nandos, a Chinese, a bar and a couple of Italians. We took pizza back to the room with no comments from staff.
The restaurant has an amazing view of the ground and pitch, steak was £23, other staples were around £13 per main course.
The room was big (we had a suite) with a sitting room, bedroom, and huge bathroom. Everything was clean and well presented. The sofa bed was in poor condition and the tellies were terribly outdated! But the staff and bed and general standards in the hotel were excellent.
We used the health club. A nice pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. All clean and free for guests. Think there was a gym but can't remember for sure.
Finally we were able to get a late check out at no extra cost to really top off a cracking weekend.

we stayed Saturday 28 April and i had emailed the hotel to request a room with a pitch view which was confirmed straight away.all the staff we dealt with from the reception to the bar staff were all polite and courteous.our room 333 was clean and tidy with a pitch view as requested but my only gripe would be that in this room the sound of the heating was very noisy and from 6ish Sunday morning the heating/boiler would fire up every 3 minutes or so and last for the same time.we used the pool,steam room,sauna and jacuzzi and although they are not the biggest they help to enhance the hotel over other hotels.we pre-booked the breakfast at £9 or its £10.50 on the day but unfortunately it was not to the standard you would expect for that money,certainly compared to De Veres other hotels the village.all in all its a good hotel that offers good value for money with good facilities with an excellent bar and lounge.

My husband and I regularly stay at this hotel as a bit of a getaway and we were sent a very reasonable offer for an overnight stay. As it was our anniversary we decided to book it and have a bit of a break.
As always the receptionist couldn't have been more pleasant. We just had a basic room but always spotless and no issues at all. We used the facilities and the pool although small was very quiet for a Saturday and the steam room and sauna were great.
We did stop for a drink at the bar before heading out and I would say after living in the Centre of Manchester for a number of years, the drinks prices were a bit steep at £11 for 2 single brandies. Not complaining though as we chose to drink there when other bars nearby.
We paid for the breakfast and I do not understand why people are not happy with the standard. The food was very nice with everything you could want for breakfast - A cooked english selection, pastries, fruit, a cold selection of meat and bread, toast and coffee, tea and juice on demand. Totally worth the price.
My one and only grumble was that my husband had emailed in advance to advise it was our anniversary and that if possible could we have a room that overlooked the pitch. We didn't hold out any hope as we were booked under a deal but we didn't get a response. I understand that it is a busy night and we are not full paying guests but a courtesy email to just advise none were available would have gone a long way to making our stay perfect.
Other than that, a quality hotel with some very nice features. Will be back soon!

Stayed here on Sunday 29th April 2012 with my two children aged 8 & 9 years old, booked two rooms through Booking.com, also my sister booked three rooms through them for her family.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the staff were brilliant, haven't been anywhere in a long time where I have seen hotel staff so pleased to look after you with a jovial smile on their face!!!
We all used the swimming pool, this is a very small pool and not one for serious swimming, 2 women got very stressy that my children were actually enjoying themselves,shame on them!!! The steam room and sauna were very good and roomy, shame there aren't any beauty treatments on offer.
The rooms were clean and adequate for what we needed staying just one night, they were well furnished, a bit on the small side but no more so than any other city hotel. Ladies take your own hair dryer or use the ones in the spa as the one's in the room are terrible.
we all had breakfast the next morning which was excellent and again the staff were exceptional, the lady 'Naomi' took my children up to see the BW pitch, very kind of her.
The hotel is right on the Middlebrook Retail Park and within walking distance of the railway station, Asda, M & S, and loads of shops and restaurants. If you don't know Bolton it is some distance from Bolton town centre but you can use the train.
would definitely stay there again!!!

Stayed last weekend. Very nice 4* hotel situated within the Reebok Complex with a perfect view of Bolton Wanderers stadium from the restaurant windows. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. King sized bed for us. Don't know if all are that size
Roomy, clean bathroom. Liked the fact there was an ironing board and iron in the wardrobe, as well as a trouserpress in the room. Didn't avail ourselves of the spa, swimming pool etc. because we had a wedding to go to.

I paid less than I have done to stay in a travel lodge but that is where the comparison ends. It is unusual being part of the stadium but that added to the interest. The room was very comfortable with a view over the car park but being away from main roads means it is quiet. The phone did not work in the room and so several visited the room to try and solve it which they eventually did. Although it meant the stay was a little less relaxing because of this all those who visited were very nice and helpful. I had room service in the evening and enjoyed my club sandwich. The leisure complex is great and was quiet on the bank holiday Sunday evening I was there. Breakfast was excellent the usual hotel fair but well down in a nice setting with real trees. As I say for the price it was so much better than other bargain hotels.
I had checked if Bolton were playing at home and discovered that when driving to the hotel. This made parking difficult but I was fortunate to get a space. Although very busy there was no noise in the room. The game did mean the hotel bars were busy after the game but it did not stop me from enjoying my stay. The area has lots of eating and entertainment places if you don’t want to stay in the hotel and good road and rail connections.
One thing to note is that if you put the hotel post code in the sat nav you arrive at the Tesco’s car park with no access to the hotel. I had to ring and they gave me the post code for the football stadium which got me closer and I was able to find it.

Another day another De Vere offer. This hotel is actually in the Reebok stadium (home of Bolton Wanderers football club), and apparently some rooms have a view of a pitch although the norm is Tesco's car park. Hotel is not too soul-less but is definitely aimed at the business market, with Sky Sports on TVs in all public areas. There is an award winning restaurant (apparently) with sweeping views over the stadium however the bistro serves more than adequate fare and there's even a set menu if you're really hungry. The pool is quite small but sufficient for a pleasant dip. Very friendly and happy staff throughout.

Very nice hotel the only down side the in-room TV was very old and the picture quality was awful. Top brand hotels you would expect flat screens
