This hotel itself is great, we stayed for one evening for our company Christmas party and enjoyed the use of the leisure facilities and had a nice meal in the lounge bar. The party night itself was great, however the food was very disappointing, barely warm tomato soup was followed by a main course which consisted of three potatoes, four spouts and a sliver of turkey, which resembled a microwave meal for one, the only saving grace was the cheesecake desert which was nice. We had been considering the hotel for our forthcoming wedding, however having been served a below par meal we have swiftly struck it off our list as a possible option.

We stayed for 3 nights, Friday to Monday. The hotel itself is quite tired in appearance, it definitely needs a fresh lick of paint and some updates on the furnishings in the room. I have been to other Mercure hotels and all have had a few additional furnishings in the room which have lent to a nicer feel in the rooms, the Georgian is very basic. Unfortunately there were two parties on over Friday and Saturday night which went on till very late so none of our party got any sleep until the Sunday night when there wasn’t any event on. It would’ve been nice if a little more common sense had gone into room allocation and put our party furthest away from the event and anyone staying for just the one night on the night of the party where put on the first floor, so as to minimise the disruption. The party goers where very disruptive to several members of our party late into the night.
The food was abysmal I have to say, the vegetables were obliterated and completely inedible, which was a great disappointment.
However the staff were very friendly and the saving grace of the hotel.
Oh the official pictures here of the hotel are very generous to say the least, a little rose tinted I would say!

The room was clean, tidy and the bed was comfy. The bathroom is in need of a refurb, the flush didn’t always work. The facilities (pool, sauna, steam room etc) were nice enough. The jacuzzi could do with a tidy up. We didn’t try any of the food so can’t comment on that.

I've stayed here lots of times over the years, whenever I visit my mum. I used to rate it quite highly based on price versus value.
However, over the years it has had little investment and therefore now I don't feel it deserves a high rating.
On the posotve side the FOH service is always great, and the rooms are clean so the BOH staff must be okay too. Seems th management is okay but lacks investment.
On the negative side:
Mattresses are now very old and spongy so when one person moves so does the other.
They now seem to put rubber backed nattress protectors on all beds, something low budget hotels do. This drives me absolutely crazy, just creates unnecassary noise and heat. I always check and take these off!
The bathroom showers are powerful and strong but the decor is old and dated, even in the premium rooms.
The curtains have always been a bug bear of mine. Black-out lined but stand proud of the windows so a halo effect from the 24/7 car park lighting lets in lots of light.
I haven't booked breakfast since June, the last few times have been such a let down. Again not due to the staff but the room itself is so demoralising. Get breakfast on the go!

Excellent party atmosphere meal very good but we expected a choice of sweet Quiet a few of our party of 12 didn't like chocolate as the sweet consisted of just chocolate this was left by most people We would suggest a choice of sweet maybe j u st 2 to choose from or a sweet trolley/buffet This was the only disappointment to a lovely evening

Stayed at this hotel as a surprise from partner and it what a lovely surprise it was. Walked in to book in and the reception staff were extremely helpful, we went to our room, and again a lovely surprise, big room, four poster bed, just lovely. We went to the bar and had a meal there, which was very tasty.
I couldn’t actually say there was a bad bit about the whole stay. Would highly recommend this hotel

We didn’t stay here but came for tea at the sports bar they have here and we were not disappointed.We didn’t have to book as it was pretty quite the lady behind the bar Irene was lovely she gave us a menu and took our drink order she was very chatty and told us we could sit anywhere,we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala with rice naan bread and mini poppadums,and Fish and chips and mushy peas everything was delicious,sticky toffee pudding for dessert.with drinks was reasonably priced.Irene the waitress was outstanding nothing was too much trouble would definitely come again enjoyed it.

Stayed here as part of a coach trip when seeing a musical in Salford. On arrival the check in was swift and the room was fine, quite small but clean. The bar area is sterile and reminiscent of a school cafeteria: not particularly inviting or comfortable.
The costs of drinks is really excessive; 2 glasses of wine around £18: I would not be averse to paying this if the bar was a nice area to sit in but it’s not. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere’s so taxis would be required to visit other bars in the area.
As part of the booking we received evening meal and breakfast. This was average, however due to the low price we paid overall I think this was good enough value. The dining area is tired and needs updating.
The best experience of the stay was likely the staff who we found to be friendly and efficient. This hotel for me is an average three star...

Spent one night for business. The WiFi is pretty weak. If you have to log into a remote server (which i did) it's very slow and crashed a few times. The rooms and bathrooms are basic and need updating, but clean and well maintained. The bed was comfy and had a good nights sleep. The breakfast was basic - a little too basic.
