In March 2013, Graham W said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
I stayed at the Georgian House Hotel in March 2013 while on business in the area. I was attracted by a very good price when booking in advance, and also by the location - as I was visiting Bolton Arena, it made little sense to stay in the centre of town.
The two highlights of my stay were the friendly welcome I got from the staff & the food. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I got the impression that everyone was prepared to bend over backwards to help the guests. A special mention goes to the waitress in the restuarant who made my evening meal a very enjoyable experience & helped me decide between two main courses! The food itself was excellent, and I'd heartily recommend the sea bass to anyone staying at the hotel.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, the breakfast had a little room for improvement. I wasn't down as soon as the restuarant opened, and so found several empty dishes in the buffet which weren't replenished during the time I was having my breakfast. Another guest on a nearby table seemed quite put out that she couldn't find any marmelade. In contrast to the evening before, the service was a little slow & I was a fair way through my breakfast before anyone appeared to ask if I wanted tea or coffee. It wasn't a bad breakfast experience by any means, but could've been improved.
The room itself was a little dated, but was clean, warm, quiet & gave a fairly good night's sleep. The only particular gripes I've got were the lack of bedside tables & the fact that only one of the two plugs in the room appeared to work. It was refreshing not to be patronised though - there wasn't a sign warning that the hot water might be hot, even though it was extremely warm.
Overall, I had a really good stay for a very cheap price. I'll certainly stay again if I'm back in the area.

The staff members Kristian, Ashley and Andrew are fantastic ambassadors for this hotel. Stayed here for 2 months so far and they have been great. I have been well looked after so far during my time here and I would highly recommend a stay. The food has also been very good

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights, this is the forth time we have stayed here, the staff are friendly, they even remembered my wife's preference for tea
We had an evening meal and that also was good, my wife only requested sandwiches but we still had them in the dinning room
All together we will stay there again . It is close to Middle-broke where the Reebok stadium is and far enough from the motorway as to have no noise
Would definitely recommend this hotel

After our daughters wedding, she held the reception at the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel, Blackrod. All the staff were very polite and went out of there help.
Everybody had a wonderful time and I would recommend this hotel for any occasion.

Stayed 2 nights in room 448 which was an executive room - free films, internet, better toiletries, newspapers. Room was fine but noise from swimming pool mechanical and ventilation is fairly intrusive and constant. I did ask about being moved but as it was close to midnight when I arrived could not face it. Next day staff were v good at trying to find different room but could not offer executive level. We lived with the noise. Main bed was fine but the folding bed was uncomfortable. Lovely friendly service at breakfast which we though worth the £9 extra. Room quality OK and quite big but what makes it good and one we'd use again is the staff being friendly and helpful - more welcoming than posh hotels we've stayed in. Overall good value for money.

This was the second time this year I have stayed at this hotel and I just can't find fault. The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive and was shocked to discover they remembered me from my previous trip at the start of the year. The evening meals and breakfast were excellent and all served with a large slice of friendliness. I stayed in room 321 which had an ample size bathroom with an assortment of toiletries, corner suite, large wide screen TV with Internet and a very large comfortable bed. The only possible criticism would be that the room was facing the main road although noise was minimal and certainly did not effect my nights sleep. I intend to visit friends in the area over the course of the coming year and will look no further than this wonderful hotel for use as a base. A big than you to all the staff and the hotel manager Eric for making my stay this weekend so pleasurable.

I travelled with a group,of friends, visiting the area for a family celebration. On our arrival we received a warm welcome from the staff and allocated rooms swiftly. At first glance the room was fine. Clean and airy, although very warm. That said, we had a large window which we were able to open wide as we were in the loft. The bar made a great meeting place and we used this several times. The bar staff were very friendly, particularly Irene, who went out of her way to look after us. However, as mentioned in a previous review it was sometimes difficult to get the right drinks and we were often served one drink at a time! The one major downside was the mattresses, in all our rooms. One of our friends had to ask if a duvet could be put under the sheet as she and her husband had spent the first night with springs sticking into her. Our bed was not as bad but made a terrible noise when you moved. Clearly this is not the first time that this has been mentioned to the management and I would have expected that an organisation the size of the Mercure would have rectified this more swiftly, being aware of the problem. A real shame as this spoils an otherwise really pleasant hotel.

Stayed here for one night and also attended a conference here the next day. Check in was fast and pleasant, we went to the restaurant for dinner which was lovely. The person I travelled with is a celiac but the waitress was really good and checked with the chef to make sure he could cook what she wanted the way she needed to have it-I thought it was brilliant that they were so accommodating. Breakfast the next day was also really good with plenty of choice.
The room was huge and just what I expected really (although it was a little cold!)
The reception staff were really friendly and helpful with ordering taxis etc, I'd definitely stay here again if I was in the area.
