We stayed with a group of family and friends to attend a local wedding. We were all given a warm welcome, comfortable rooms with comfy beds and good choice of breakfast. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Staying overnight the day before visiting the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale we were looking forward to using the indoor pool and having a nice evening meal at the hotel using the deal we had pre-purchased. Unfortunately it was spoilt by hotel staff having a lack of knowledge of meal deals pre-bought online. The reception staff tried to say that the 3 course dinners paid for was an amount on account of whatever the bill came to. Then we were told we could only have food to the value of £22 for our £18 pre paid 3 course dinner. I had to print terms & conditions and even then didn't even receive an apology. The whole attitude of the two reception staff was not customer friendly.
The hotel itself was acceptable and the meal was very nice. The deal we had in fact bought was on the basis of a reduced menu.

Stayed in the Bolton mercure for 2 nights on business. The rooms were clean and tidy, if a little dated and tired. The staff at the hotel are all friendly and helpful and offer good service.
The bar was reasonably priced and offers a good selection of drinks and snacks.
Breakfast was good each day with plenty of choice of hot and cold options.
Will return again.
Cheers.

With the hotel being named Georgian house, one would expect it to be Georgian. Well I believe that parts of it are, with a later extension circa 1980's. The sad thing is that the extension isn't in keeping with the Georgian parts.and can look rather tired in parts, that said, it does indeed contain a spa.
I did not stay in the Georgian part and on my next visit will probably opt to say there.
When it comes to bathrooms, it's never a good look to have bath silicone which is uneven or repointed over failed silicone. It never works and puts the bathroom on a downer for both the cleaners and the guests.
Attention should also be paid to the showers to ensure they are fully functional and free of limescale.
The breakfast is the usual running buffet style with the usual full english on offer, served by efficient and attentive staff.
So if you are looking for a hotel in the vicinity of the Macron Stadium, then this is reasonably priced and may fit the bill.

Booked an evening meal as on first impressions it looked a stylish venue. The small cod cakes were delicious and were perhaps the highlight of the meals. The rib-eye steak and lamb were ok although the steak was not very warm. The sticky toffee pudding was ok but the Eton Mess was better.
A little disappointing as this place could be so much better. Service was good. Not busy for a Friday Evening- does that itself tell a story? Very ordinary.

Everything was fine except when having the meal the final course wasn't available as "the kitchen has closed" this wasn't late, just after 10 and I was making for the strawberry Eton mess so no cooking involved, very disappointing.

Upon arriving at the hotel I was very surprised to something that looked more like a stately home rather then a hotel. The exterior and interior are both full of character- one of the prettiest hotels I've stayed at.
We stayed in one of the family rooms: 1 double bed, 2 single beds and a sofa (which I assume could also be another bed). This was very refreshing as most family rooms only have a double bed and a sofa bed. The bathroom was very spacious and the shower was very easy to use (if you have very young children I would recommend asking for a bath mat from reception as the room didn't have one). Finally the room have lots of space for a pushchair without it getting in the way (there was a small section separating the main room and bathroom were a pushchair could stay). The only issue with the room was the noise, the walls seemed very thin as we could hear the people next door turning on light switches and closing doors.

The hotel had one of the best beds I'd ever slept in.The room was adequate for a single person. The WiFi just worked band was very strong. Customer service was friendly but not too fussy. The room came with an iron which was very useful. The only issue was that the bathroom floor was slightly dirty.

Stayed here for 3 nights and would happily have stayed longer if circumstances allowed. The room was a decent size with a decent bathroom and the beds were as comfortable as any Ive ever slept in. Ample parking and good location although allow a little longer if leaving in the rush hour as the A6 road serving the hotel got heavily congested for the morning peak. The Service in the restaurant was disappointingly slow on our first evening and we ate out for the remainder of our stay but other than that we had no complaints.i

Great location and great people. As with everything in life people are everything and I have always found the team at this hotel to be exceptional in the way they look after you and ensure that everything is looked after in a suitable and obliging fashion, I look forward to many more stays at this lovely hotel.

I have to admit in terms of spas I am not an expert, but my friend and I had a great time in the spa hotel today. The pool is good, they have 5 steam and sauna rooms including an 'igloo'. In the spa section there is a place to have tea and coffee before your treatment, you can get a treatment with your partner/friend in a lovely room. My friend and I had a 25 minute neck and back massage which we both thought was excellent. To end there is a darkened relaxation room with a water feature. I thought everything was thoughtful and well done. Staff helpful and friendly.

So the hotel is general is quite nice, big car park so parking was never a problem.
Pool and reasonably equipped gym too was a nice addition. The staff are all friendly and very helpful.
The hotel has potential to be very good, but the rooms are pretty tired and need looking at. The lino in the bathroom was stained yellow/brown around the toilet (room 778) and the room smelt musty/dusty/damp. The bed was huge and comfy though and a good size too. Overall it is just a little tired.
There also don't seem to be enough staff either. I was waiting for 20 minutes in the gym for someone to come (despite ringing the bell). When the lad eventually came back he apologised politely as he needed to fetch a mop. My concern is if there were an emergency, no one would be around to help. A similar thing happened in the restaurant on my second night, again the gent apologising for the inconvenience as he was the only one on at the time.
However all this aside I think the level of customer service provided for me is important and the staff certainly succeeded at this! The stay was pleasant and I will more than likely stay again.

I can see there are mixed reviews about this hotel but can honestly say it's quite nice. I stayed 2 nights and had the suite on the first night which is excellent. Large room with separate sitting room. 2 large TVs , robes , slippers even a nespresso machine. The bathroom was spotless and shower large and powerful.
The second night I had a normal room and although it was smaller and none of the extras , it was still clean and comfortable.
Staff seemed friendly, breakfast was adequate, overall good value.

I travelled to this hotel with a group and we were touring Lancashire. I had previously ordered a mobility scooter as my husband has walking difficulties. Imagine my surprise when entering our room - it was equipped for a disabled/wheelchair user ! The 'wardrobe' was a metal bar protruding from the wall, enclosed in a wood surround with 5 hangers of mixed styles. There was no drawer space at all apart from a deep drawer containing a duvet. This we removed and used the space but there was not enough room for us both to use so I kept most of my clothes in my case. We were staying for 4 nights so we had several changes of clothes. The bathroom was for a wheelchair user with a very low hand basin and 'pen' styled enclosure around the shower. Our room was in the front of the hotel so we heard traffic thunder past all the time. The staff however, were very helpful and friendly but some needed guidance when operating the bars. Overall, our room and the rest of the hotel was kept very clean and was well decorated. In conclusion, I would only recommend this hotel for business use/overnight.

Staff very helpful and breakfast consisted of a huge array of food/drinks which were all fresh and constantly filled up. Pool area and factilities again, very clean, staff very helpful and fabulous facilities.
One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in and exceptional value for money.

For a one night business stop this ticks all boxes. Good food, flexible breakfast times with fresh food, good sized rooms and had no sleep issues. Value priced hotel with free parking. Feel the public areas need a facelift to fit in with Mercure brand. Didn't use leisure facilities but good to know they are there.

The hotel is about a 25 minute walk from the Macron Stadium so suited us as we were going their to support Peterborough United. The hotel was as we expected from other reviews very clean but a little bit tired. We had a room on the top floor with a view of the stadium. The room was big with a sofa. We chose to go out to eat, but enjoyed the breakfast which was good (would have been excellent if the fresh fruit had been a bit more varied and fresher). Our only other slight gripe was the temperature in the hotel it was too hot, this was ok in our room as we switched off the radiators and opened the windows but at breakfast the windows did not open and despite only wearing a t-shirt and jeans it was uncomfortably hot.

A more friendly hotel would be hard to find. The staff were typical Bolton. Friendly, couldn't do enough. Fantastic. Rooms were clean if tired. Breakfast excellent. Excellent 3star. B looked as an overflow as the Whites Hotel was full for a charity event, the taxi was £5.

When we arrived for the wedding we had to leave our bags at reception and check in after the wedding. The hotel seemed nice at first glance.
The wedding was very nice, and the staff were good.
We checked in to our room and it was boiling as the radiator was on full blast. However you could open the window and we turned the radiator off so it cooled down quickly.
The hotel has everything you need, tea, coffee, hairdryer, iron etc. It was clean and tidy.
The view from the hotel was on to the busy road outside. People had clearly thrown things out of the window and it was a shame as when I looked out there were odd bits and bobs on the roof.
Anyway, we went down for the wedding reception and the food was really good. It was a hot buffet and it was good portions. Sometimes at wedding I am peckish not long after due to small portions but I felt full up. The drinks in the hotel were expensive but as we were staying we had a few drinks in the room from home to have in between the wedding and reception.
Overall a good wedding and a good stay.
