Very basic hotel. The room was dark and pokey and the TV was about 30 years old!!! It was ok for one night. Breakfast was pretty bog standard too. Everything under heat lamps. Bar staff were very good, reception staff were average. As for all the photos they show you of the rooms overlooking the pitch and other rooms beware because they do have some tiny rooms they can stick you in! Quite clean but basic.

Location
We stayed at Whites for two nights (Sunday/Monday) as we were attending a business conference at the Macron (formerly Reebok) Stadium. It was the perfect location for the conference and close to retail park, but don’t be expecting nice views or scenic surrounds.
After check in we discovered that we had been given an internal facing room. The only window faced inside – a view of the main staircase from reception. Zero natural light at all, think internal cabin on a cruise ship! We immediately asked to be changed, which to be fair they moved us.
Room and sleep quality
Room was of fairly bland decor, but the bed was comfortable. Slight traffic noise on the main road outside at night. All in all it was acceptable, however, this semi-tranquillity was soon shattered. We had a very early wake up from the retail park lorries (those reversing warning beeps!).
Food
Very poor, mass produced and poor value for money. To be avoided. We decided to eat out for breakfast and dinner the second day.
Staff
Cleaning staff were of a high standard. We called room service to ask for de-caffeinated tea, I even volunteered to go down and collect it. My call was passed through to the bar, where I was told someone would come up and give us some. No one came up. Not what you’d expect from a De Vere hotel on a fairly quiet Sunday night.
Conclusion
Left feeling very underwhelmed. We paid a bit extra to stay here (rather than the cheaper options nearby) so that we could walk to the conference we were attending. We thought that the De Vere brand was of a high standard, but discovered that this isn’t’ always the case. If we are returning to Bolton, I’d be tempted to look elsewhere. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either.

nice hotel just 20 minutes from Manchester based at the old Reebok stadium now renamed Macron as they are sponsors for the next 4 years. Good business hotel as there are plenty of seating areas for meetings. Rooms are clean and tidy. Leisure facilities are also good and included in the room rate. Plenty of eating places on the doorstep if you don't want to eat in.

A group of us stayed at Whites before Christmas.We all walked to a great Chinese Restaurant around the corner in the retail park. This is a good business hotel with some great rooms that are now good value. The hotel needs a refurb and some modern TV's though.

We stayed the night after the wedding which to be fair was decent. Good room.clean and good enough. Our only problem really was the bar staffs attitude on the night of our wedding. Really rude once or twice to our guest who asked for highchairs.. which we asked for the night before..lack of communication between staff.then they lost our chair covers and center pieces. Good but be carefully if booking for a wedding or party. . Make sure you get everything in writing after the cock up we had to which they did well and was lucky we could change day if good time..good but wont be rushing back.

Stayed here on business for 3 nights in July while at a conference at the stadium (where this hotel is located).
Overall the stay was great, the breakfast was nice and really good service throughout the hotel.
The hotel bar that we used was good but expensive as you would expect.
My room was fairly tired, but clean and the bed was extremely comfortable!

I stayed here with work and was pleasantly surprised. Staff were very polite and friendly, the room, although fairly standard for a business hotel was of a good size and was clean. The room faced the pitch which is a nice touch for a work trip! My room service burger was very nice and took no time to turn up (was particularly impressed with that) - all in all made a boring business trip that bit more bearable. I would happily stay here if ever I was called to our Bolton site again! (They got my name wrong on the reservation but I can hardly hold that against them- and it was dealt with with no fuss and lots of professionalism)

We stayed here as we met for the first time at the stadium. I told the receptionist on booking, when we arrived and went to our room we found a card and bottle of wine from the management, thank you very much, our room had also been upgraded. All in all will book again and great value for money

I stayed here recently overnight for a business trip. The reception staff were very polite and informative. I ordered room service which was tasty and arrived really quickly - always a bonus.
The room was impeccably clean and the bed very comfortable.
Breakfast staff were really helpful and polite, and the buffet had a really good selection.
Overall I had a very comfortable stay and would happily visit again.
The only thing I could comment was that the music from the bar was quite loud so I could hear it from my room, but I slept through and I think it was turned down at a later time. Any noise conscious people may want to request a quiet room.
