Good modern looking hotel with use of swimming pool, handy for the motorways (parking included). Took the summer 2 night offer ( stayed mid week, so function rooms not in use) staying in an area We hadn't thought of visiting before.
Friendly helpfull receptionist expalined the facilities, room was impecably clean. Dinner booked for 7 pm but no food came out for anyone until 7.45 ( 7 tables of people waiting) So second evening went in to Bolton and Found "The Chinese Buffet" on Bridge street.... very good and very filling! Breakfast good and wide ranging though run out of muesli and eggs-fried and scrambled by 8.45, though available by request.
Trips out we enjoyed the Lowry at Salford Quays, right balance of description and paintings and free. Then walked over the bridge to the Imperial war museum, didn't find that worth while.. In a different direction, Helmshore Mills Textile Museum well worth the visit to see the machinery in action.

just recently had a 2 night midweek stay here through groupon deal. The hotel was really nice, with very kind and helpful frinedly staff. the room was quite small and hot, even with window open but was very clean and had everything we needed. We used the hotel gym and pool on our first day and were very impressed with the facilities. As part of the groupon deal we had tea on the first night and could have no complaints about the food, the chips been absolute lovely. breakfasts both morning were very good, with plenty choice. would definately use this hotel again if staying in the area

This hotel, although a chain has charm and the likeability factor. The staff are friendly and attentive and really do believe in customer service. What sets it apart from the Deveres, Premiers and Travel lodges is the added hospitality so although you know what you are getting with a branded hotel, you also get that little bit extra.

I had booked a nights stay for a friends wedding and after reading all the previous great reviews I expected a great stay which wasn't the case. I will start with check in, great quick service even though we turned up 20 mins before check in time which a bonus. The room was very clean and quite large which is always welcomed however the hotel is constantly hot and with the windows in your room opening an inch an having no air con this is an issue Mecure need to resolve. Whilst the room was large there was a small desk with the TV and internet, there is a travel kettle which was on a very low shelf next to the bathroom with a very small selection of tea and coffee, but no biscuits, even a £39 Campanille hotel has these little touches. I have knee problems so making a brew proved difficult and painful for me, why there is not a larger desk so the kettle can be on it I have no idea. Breakfast was the most dissapointing, first you wander through part of the empty resturant feeling lost to then meet an almost empty buffet, dirty tables and no staff, this was half way into the breakfast time slot! after waiting for 10 mins for tables to be cleared an re set we then waited a further 10 mins for awful filter coffee. There seemed to be remains of fresh fruit, yoghut, cooked breakfast and some fruit juices which I was unclear what they were as there were no signs to indicate. The only items that were replenished during our visit were eggs. The entire expereice was a waste of time wish had gone to Tesco for a cooked breakfast. This hotel could quite easily be amazing if they really wanted to. Other issues I found were black paint spots on a wooden staircase which ruined how nice others parts of the hotel were, diffcuilty getting drinks at the bar which is very overpriced £2 for a small coke or £3.70 for a pint! The bar food menu is also a rip off £5 for a bowl of soup, at these prices you would be better going down to middlebrook for food.

Stayed at this hotel for two days midweek and have to say that the customer service was excellent, in particular Emma in the restaurant. The hotel was modern with good amenities and was within easy reach of main connection roads. We ate in the restaurant during our stay and got two for one on all courses via our taste card, the food was excellent , good quality and well presented, although I don't think we would have ate in if we had not got the two for one as a bit overpriced, compliments to Eddie the chef, loved the signature soup and mushy peas with Jalapenos ! Breakfast was a buffet with every possible combination from cold to hot and a plentiful supply. The only negative comment is the price of wine, cheapest was £22 for a bottle. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable we paid a bit more for an executive room and it had plenty of space, only negative was the shower which no power but ample supply of hot water. Would stay again without any hesitation.

I had my wedding reception at this hotel on the 3rd August 2012, and to say it was fantastic is an understatement. The room was magical, it looked absolutely amazing and I couldn't have wished for anything better. Marie Jolly, our wedding co-ordinator was so helpful and I trusted her whole heartedly with everything from start to finish. Even all of our wedding guests commented on how professional and friendly all the staff were. Carl, our Master of Ceremonies,was unbelievable. He copied brilliantly with all my demands and his presence on the day relaxed me completely. He was willing to do anything and everything in order to make the day go as smoothly as possible. I can not recommend this hotel enough: the rooms are lovely; the food is fantastic and the staff are absolutely wonderful.

Where to start.... We originally visited the hotel in July 2010 to enquire and look around with a view to having our wedding reception here in July 2012. This is when we first met Marie Jolley. Ever since our initial meeting we have felt nothing but confident in her and she has been an amazing help. Nothing has ever been too much and she always made us feel like we were the only wedding she had there (which i know certainly was not the case). Leading up to the wedding day we had a menu taster again this was never too much trouble and the food was fantastic. We had a few unplanned situations leading up to the day again which Marie and sometimes her colleague Sue dealt with and accommodated us very efficiently. On the actual day we were made to feel very welcoming and our day was magical from start to finish. On arrival all the guests were greeted and shown where to go and on our arrival a glass of bubbles was there for us greeted with a smile from Marie & Carl. All of our wedding guests commented on how professional and friendly all the staff was Carl, our Master of Ceremonies was fantastic too he was with us every step of the day (well not every but he was certainly on hand). Anything we asked him to do he did and with a smile on his face. Right through to us going to bed he was on hand to help us with anything we needed. The food was fantastic and the bar service was next to non and we had alot of guests in total.
The accommodation was lovely and the breakfast the morning after was also delicious :).
If you are considering holding your wedding reception here i can not recommend them enough they really are fantastic and the hotel is privileged to have Marie, Carl and Sue on their team :).
Thanks again guys for the most magical day of our lives and for making us feel like we were your only priority.

I am writing this review whilst still at the hotel, upon arrival the check in was very efficient and staff very friendly and polite, the room is very big and well equipped ,and we had a good nights sleep the bar isn't overpriced . The breakfast is buffet style and was very nice, the guest get free use of the indoor pool . To sum this hotel up all we can say is that all the staff are very helpful and polite. It is very good value for money and the hotel is a credit to the manager
