We stayed in a family room, very spacious, double bed, single bed and a cot. We could see Reebok Stadium from our room and also Pennines. The pool and jacuzzi was very nice. We had breakfast at the hotel which was well worth the price, plenty to choose from. lots of free parking at rear of hotel. Bar prices were a little expensive. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel is modern and has leisure facilities which was the main reason I chose the Georgian Mercure for a 1 night business trip to Bolton. My room was situated in the main building at the front, on floor 1. The decor is slightly dated with old fashioned, ill fitting wardrobes and drawers - see picture. The bed was very uncomfortable and you could easily feel the springs through the sheets. In conjunction with a dripping shower head (it wasn't possible to stop this), I didn't get a great nights sleep. The very low water pressure of the shower rendered it almost useless....not a great start to the day!!
The leisure facilities (pool area) were OK but had a number of faults. The pool isn't very big, the jacuzzi doesn't function as it should (i.e. the water jets are ineffective / don't work - a member sat next to me said "it's been like this for years,the hotel have done nothing to fix it"), the steam room didn't work (it's just a warm room with no steam!).
In common with most hotels food & drinks prices are set on the high side, which is to be expected. The food I ordered was generally of good quality, with a couple of let downs. The "jalapeño mushy peas" (served with the haddock & chips) turned out to be no more than standard garden peas and the chips were luke warm due to the silly pretentious wire basket they were suspended in! (If you suspend chips off the plate they are bound to go cold quickly!!).
On balance I wouldn't choose this hotel again if I stayed in Bolton. If you want leisure facilities choose the De Vere White (Football stadium). If you want a modern comfortable room and are not interested in leisure facilities, go for a Premier Inn.

Stayed here overnight and was ideal for our needs. Room was a good size, unfortunately bed wasn't! Can't believe hotels still have small double beds! Apart from that there was coffee/tea facilties (no biscuits), basic toiletries, tv and hairdryer.
Hotel is ideally situated for the M61. Gym well equipped and pool looks lovely, didn't have time to try them out.
Breakfast delicious and they made the effort to restock as needed.
Have stayed here before and would be happy to again.

Have stayed here a number of times and given it a good review
First time since change of ownership and was really disappointed with the ROOM
Shower pressure appalling, Beds need new mattresses as they feel they have a board in them
Toilets seat had been replaced and didn't fit
What a shame rest of Hotel and facilities seem the same good standard
For just a room Seems expensive and Premier appears better

A weekend of rest and relaxation brought us to this lovely modern hotel. We checked in at 11 am and were met by a very polite gentleman who explained the facilities in the hotel, answered any questions and gave us local information on places to eat or visit.
We went up 1 flight of steps from the modern airy reception to our executive double, with a massive double bed sitting area and bathroom with a large selection of toiletries
We had a bath and a shower and all the usual aspects a traveller wants.
Free wifi in the room was quick and never failed to load any pages.
There is a leisure club on site but we did not find time to indulge in this experience.
Breakfast was included in our rate, and this again was high quality and plentiful .
We will return and when we are in the area this will be our choice to stay- well done to all the staff for looking after us.

Stayed here for one night on business. It was fine but nothing out of the ordinary. There was a party going on in one of the function rooms which was a little noisy and the restaurant was completely empty, me and one other person. Food was ok too but again nothing amazing. The staff were very hepful and friendly!

Hotel was easy to find, and plenty of parking at the rear. Reception was large and bright and check in was dealt with quickly, and staff helpful. Room was large and bright, with tea and coffee making facilities. Bathroom was a good size, only fault was the shower which was not very powerful.. Evening meal taken both nights, excellent varied menu, service was attentive, and the food was excellent quality. Breakfast was buffet style, full English, variety of fresh fruit and cereals. To sum up, a lovely hotel where we enjoyed 2 nights, the staff were friendly and helpful(especially so the restaurant staff) and we would definitely stay again. We were aware of some complaints in the restaurant on the second night but to be honest we could not understand where they were coming from as it was a relaxed atmosphere where staff did not rush you and food could be enjoyed.
