We had been booked at the Mercure Last Drop, however on Arrival they had overbooked themselves and after a bit of negotiation we were relocated to here. Whilst not the swankiest rooms in the world we had a great stay. Extra special praise should go the lady (duty manager?) on duty that night who provided truly exceptional customer service. Nothing was too much trouble as she sorted out our party of 8, gave us a private room to eat in, and even decorated it herself for us. She totally rescued the day! The food was much better than expected, and beds comfortable.
It was Saturday 12th October we stayed - management please take note - you have a star employee here!

Stayed here for a weekend in October. The hotel is well located for most Lancashire towns also Blackpool, Manchester and Liverpool.
Close to the Reebok Stadium with shopping outlets, restaurants and fuel.
The hotel is a good standard with plenty of parking but a little remote. There are 2 real ale pubs within 10 minutes walking distance both do food.
The hotel rooms are well appionted with tea making facilities and tv although our tv had a poor picture quality.
If you get a rear view room you get to look over Rivington Pike aerial and the pennines it sits on assuming your window isn't covered in condensation like ours!
The breakfast buffet is very nice but the breakfast room was absolutely baking hot and airless. On both mornings the fruit juice jugs were empty where they had not been kept topped up. Amazingly the toaster actually toasts the bread turning it completly from white to golden toast.
Like any hotel the bar prices are steep and there is no real ale so better to do your drinking in the local pubs.
Would consider going back as it is located close to where relatives live.

Stayed here in early October due to a book out from De Vere Whites down the road.
A basic hotel with decent amenities although does look to offer value with inclusions such as complimentary wifi and use of leisure facilities. on-site.
Evening meal was surprisingly good considering the 3* rating of the hotel. Staff were pleasant although sometimes missing in action from the reception area and restaurant. Breakfast did not reach the same standards as the evening meal in terms of quality or choice.

Stayed now twice at this hotel and very satisfied. The staff are brilliant; very friendly and helpful.
The rooms are of good size and extremely clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and so had a good nights sleep after a long drive and a day at work.
First night i dined out, but had the breakfast which was very good with a selection of basically everything available. I'm staying at the hotel for the second time in two weeks whilst I write this review, and this time the room is enormous and extremely clean and comfortable, with the staff again very friendly and helpful.
Will definitely be coming back when next in the area.

Good-
Excellent value for money (£50 each for one night including an evening meal, breakfast and full access to the gym and spa facilities).
Spacious and modern room with a bath/shower and television.
The food in the restaurant was lovely and the choice at breakfast was great!
All of the staff were all lovely and polite.
Bad-
The Jacuzzi wasn't working properly and would only switch on in small intervals.
The door of the sauna in the female changing rooms wouldn't close properly so all the heat was being let out which was a shame.
When you book it says in the description that you get a 3 course d'hote dinner but doesn't explain that the choices are very limited. The menu you choose from only includes two different starters, two mains and two desserts. We didn't like either of the mains (tuna steak and chicken diane) so the other option was to choose a meal from the main menu up to the value of £22.00 each. If you go over £22.00 you will pay the extra before you leave at checkout. We didn't mind doing this but if you were looking forward to a 3 course meal then you would be quite disappointed. For our £22.00 each, we ended up getting a starter and main each. Both courses were lovely and the portions were huge! The only recommendation we have would be to add a couple of extra choices to the menu for guest who are staying under a package deal at the hotel.
Apart from this, we can't complain because for the £50.00 each it is excellent value for money! If we ever fancy a little break away again, we will definitely consider coming back here!

This is a good business hotel to stay in if you are traveling in the NW. Clean and well kept with a good breakfast buffet.
Don't be fooled by the "Georgian" title most of the accommodation is in modern, lodge style blocks. A conference venue not a wedding venue really.

stayed here for a night dinner bed and breakfast via a red letter voucher. on the whole a nice stay, room clean, not very spacious but fine, some parts of hotel need a bit of an upgrade to décor etc, slightly dated. staff seem very attentive, if a little slow at dinner, the dinner room is quite sparse and not very restaurant like, but the food was really lovely. Again good choice at breakfast but very slow staff, especially with the tea and coffee. swimming pool area is very nice too.

Stayed herewith my husband (who was on business) and our 6 & 4 year old boys. We stayed in a ground floor family room. My husband checked in on a Monday, with myself and the children arriving on the Friday and all checking out the following Tuesday.
Our room was very spacious with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. The bathroom was also a good size. The bed was huge and very comfy. The maids did a fantastic job each day as my boys made a fair bit of mess.
The food was delicious. We had room service 1 night and ate in the lounge another night. Portions where large and although a bit pricey not more than I would expect. Breakfast was nice and well staffed, though I was surprised there was no black pudding, what with being in lancashire.
My husband says the gym is good and I found the pool area very nice. The guy on duty on the day we went swimming was brilliant as our youngest broke a golden rule and ran, ending up slipping and hurting his head.
There was only 2 minor downsides, 1 was each day we returned our key card didn't seem to work so had to head back to reception to get it fixed. 2 was on the Saturday our next door neighbors where a group of young guys who rolled in rather loudly at 2.15, though it was the nights the clocks went back so felt like 3.15. Not the best move putting a group of lads in a 'family' room.
Overall a brilliant stay
