The room was smaller than I had expected / The washroom/bathroom was not as clean I as i expected for a 4 star hotel, i was expecting a view of the stadium from my bedroom as i was told when a rang in to confirm , We were actually facing the carriageway/carpack.

My eldest son had his wedding at the Bolton Whites hotel on Saturday the 2121st of July.we couldn't have chosen a better venue,from arriving to leaving the hotel staff were excellent.The actual wedding service was held in a very pleasant room and then the wedding lunch was held in the Chairman's suite,this was set out perfectly for the number of guests in attendance.The food was excellent along with the service.The evening entertain was set in the platinum suite with an excellent DJ,the evening buffet was also excellent and plentiful.I would recommend this venue as excellent value for money

It was a really nice hotel. I didn't get a view of the pitch which would have been interesting. Unfortunately, I had been up for a job interview the night before I arrived and fell asleep for most my visit. It's near plenty of shops and restaurants too. I would revisit.

Stayed for several days in July with a group. Hotel staff is very friendly. I would give five stars if there were AC. Heat wave made the rooms unbearably hot for sleeping and made for tired days.
They did give us a fan to use during the stay but window barely opens and it just blew hot air. No vent in the bathroom which made the entire room like a sauna after showering.
Breakfast is the exact same every day but with lots of choices.
Did not order food other than meals provided as part of our meal plan.
Nice shopping plaza adjacent to hotel with a Nandos.
Air Conditioning is a must for our family when traveling.

We stayed at the hotel because of a family wedding. We were invited to the night do so we checked in at 2pm to be able to use the facilities which were lovely. It was a shame that on the website it didn't say they had a spa and a salon because I really would of liked to book a back massage and wash and blow dry. The staff were lovely. The rooms weren't immaculate but were okay.

I have honestly lost count of the number of times I have stayed in this hotel, nearly always booking directly, yet every time I arrive I am asked if I have stayed before.
A minor point, however, I recently visited a hotel in Crete where I had stayed 5 years previously and was thanked upon check-in for my return visit! Not quite sure why Bolton Whites can't recognise repeat guests.
During our recent visits we have noticed the hotel seems to be in steady decline, and I don't believe they should continue to market it as a luxury hotel.
It's little things that are missing which make a difference to the customer experience - no longer any tissues, complimentary water, face cloths etc. provided in the rooms. My bed wobbled and would 'travel' across the floor at the slightest movement, mattresses were sagging in the middle and the rooms were ridiculously hot.
We used the leisure facilities and noticed these too to be in decline - lockers still require an old £1 coin and don't accept the new ones. Yes, reception will give you an old one if you ask, but it would be helpful to know this before undressing and changing into my swimming costume. Costume spinners were broken on our last visit and we notice they've now been removed rather than replaced. Missing tiles in jacuzzi, pool etc.
From reading other reviews I can see that the FOH Manager has acknowledged that the bedrooms are in need of refurbishment and that this is high on the agenda. However, given that guests cannot even any longer charge items to their room due to the withdrawal of credit facilities due to an ongoing dispute, and the general financial situation of Bolton Wanderers/Bolton Whites Limited, I cannot see any significant investment being forthcoming.
It is my honest opinion that the long term survival of this hotel as a 4 star establishment can only be assured by selling it back to a corporate chain who are willing/financially secure enough to input the investment required.
On the subject of action needed to preserve a 4 star status, it is also my personal opinion that the lady who was eating breakfast in her dressing gown this morning should have been requested by restaurant staff to return when she was more appropriately dressed!!
On a positive note, Andie from the housekeeping team was very helpful, cheerful and a joy to meet.

Lovely room and feels more individual than if you are used to the homogeneous Premier Inns. Outside of football season is good value. We paid £69 room only on a Saturday night. Did not use bar or restaurant as we went out locally.

Excellent service, friendly with all the amenities you could desire. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue to friends and colleagues. The location is easy to get to and close to pubs and restaurants in the vicinity.
