Staff are fantastic, receptionists lady on duty was exceptional,nice, friendly and very helpful. The gentleman standing nearby though was not involved with me, he seemed lovely and kept a smile on his face. The dinner young man was also exceptional, dinner service was good, food presentation was faboluous and tasted nice. Room was well made, clean and everything sparkling white and exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast gentleman was friendly and helpful especially when i requested fir stronger coffee he helped, the breakfast was good and tasty. What a lovely place to stay. I will be back.

The very special and long awaited wedding for Lauren, our daughter, and Steven took place last weekend. The hotel staff did a fantastic job, making sure that everything was put into place ready for the wedding ceremony and it looked amazing. There was a definite “Wow Factor” for everyone who was there. It’s here that we need to say thank you to Diana and Libby in recognition of their hard work in ensuring that all the wedding arrangements went to plan. In addition we now need to say an additional thank you to all the staff at the hotel who looked after us all during the weekend. They all worked so hard and fully deserve the thanks from all those who were there.
The only real disappointment was the guy doing the evenings disco music. Even though he said he would welcome and play any and all music requests it didn’t really go to plan. Granted he
played a very limited number of requests but the vast majority of his choices centred around clubhouse music and when asked for a change he was quite dismissive. Result was he lost his audience.
So all in all, a fantastic wedding venue and a great weekend.

I've been staying at the Holiday Inn in Bolton since September, the service of the staff and upkeep of the rooms are fantastic. They make for a a very convenient stay. The food however is a huge let down for this hotel, breakfast buffet is often inconsistent and I've often felt sick after eating an evening meal to which is overpriced.

Had our works Christmas gathering there (Early December 2021) and overall the service was very good, decent, friendly staff and although there were numerous staff parties going on simultaneously there was no overcrowding, even the dancefloor area at it's busiest felt safe without excessive mixing; also without feeling the event was under-occupied.
The entertainment for the night was engaging, fun and well chosen.
Why only 3 stars? The cost per-head of entry & meal was on the higher end considering the calibre of the evening, no complimentary drinks on entry etc.
The food was good, more than just 'acceptable' but nothing special. Starters were nice, varied & on a table-sharing basis. Main course was portioned well and not lacking in its charm (though predictable... But maybe I'd be asking too much for something more 'interesting' considering they're trying to suit the tastes of a lot of people at once) and dessert was a bit of an anti-climax.
Considering the lack of complimentary drinks & cost of entry, one of the reasons most responsible for the 3* review is the price of the drinks, there's literally no excuse for charging close to a fiver for the cheapest draught pint.
Can't fault the staff on the bar, serving food, security, the entertainment; very well spirited, respectful and with the human touch!

Went as part of a wedding party for two days, over all it was a wonderful experience and the staff were extremely obliging. From Bernie and the cleaners through to reception and on to the bar staff and catering staff, all were more than willing to go the extra mile. While the bar may have seemed a little pricey the cost of bed and breakfast certainly was not with the restaurant running about average for a meal. Of the seven of us dining I was disappointed with my evening meal, Lamb Shashlik, the rice was dry and the lamb under seasoned and the meal lacked a "sauce ", but every one else enjoyed their meals and I was offered a complimentary drink to compensate. As someone else has written, the reason for only giving 4 stars is the small wardrobe and no drawer space in the room, the room itself is spacious and comfortable and the bathroom is quite adequate - the room is obviously designed more for the business person. To sum up, had a fabulous time and would have no hesitation going back again. Thanks again to all the staff, you are a treasure.
