The Whites Hotel is part of the Macron Stadium (Formerly Reebok Stadium) home of the Bolton Wanderers football team in the north west of England.
Some of the rooms overlook the football field from high above.
I found the staff to be friendly and welcoming, the rooms spacious and comfortable and breakfast excellent. Check out was simple and straight forward, takes no time at all.
Almost next door to the hotel is a shopping mall
Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
I was attending a function at the Platinum Room next door to the hotel and also part of the stadium building so a good choice from that point of view also

Had an amazing night at the Macron Stadium at the weekend, the staff were friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. The food, well what can I say, I have been converted to eating turkey!! the food was absolutely delicious by far the best I have eaten in a long time. From start to finish presentation was at its best and the chocolate brownie was to die for. I shall definitely be returning for another visiting to sample this amazing food.
I would highly recommend this venue and sample the food you won't be disappointed.

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst attending a Sunday Christening but took in the Saturday football match as well with lunch in the Bolton Wanderers hospitality suite.
We had upgraded to a room with french windows overlooking the pitch, which is well worth the extra money. Watching the stadium start to fill up on the Saturday is interesting, especially when a funeral party scattered a deceased fan's ashes by the side of the pitch after a short ceremony. the only thing forgot to ask is why the french windows are locked shut without a key - I can see why on a match day, but, all the time? also be aware that heavy lights shine on the pitch 24 hours a day after the match to make the grass grow. the curtains are thick, though.
Comfortable large room and pleasant once we worked out why it was blowing out cold air all the time. Bathroom not huge, but all clean and OK. Huge public areas in the hotel and so much car parking outside. There seem to be plenty of chain restaurants in the complexes nearby and a (24 hour?) Tesco just up the road.
The wrong newspapers came on the Saturday - surely this is a basic to get right - I saw her write down the correct ones when we arrived.
Breakfast was OK, nothing special except lovely Bury black sausage - my favourite. We didn't have dinner but reasonable room service snacks on Saturday night came with a sting in the tale : I couldn't believe that a £3 charge was slapped on for delivery when it is not mentioned on the menu (after close examination). Its not the money, its the principle.
I went down to the bar/cafe area for a snack on the Sunday night to read my book in peace away from my wife watching Strictly/X Factor/I'm a Celebrity on TV and ordered a caesar salad. Very cold down there on the mezzanine floor; the waiter told me the heating was full on - he said 33 degrees but that's nonsense - then "maybe its the doors opening downstairs" but the air con was blowing cold everywhere you tried to sit. The caesar salad was fine, but it was supposed to be a chicken caesar and there were no croutons either. Due to the cold, these omissions didn't permeate my brain (it was an enthralling book) until, after I had finished, the waiter then came rushing up, told me about the missing items, and apologised. I was offered, and took, a free glass of wine.
So, good in parts, but needs to get its act together more.
I'm not a Bolton fan so unless my nephew has any more children to Christen, doubt if we will be coming back.

Attended a works Christmas party here , Rooms okay , bar inside the hotel was fairly decent but the function was outside and 300 yards walk away in the rain which isn't ideal at these rates.The Food , oh the dreadful food - there is mention of Michelin stars in the blurb about the Heathcote Catering , well , I would rather eat the tyres than the muck presented to us - Goosnargh turkey was rolled Turkey , grey coloured and odd-smelling , the spuds were piped ( two kinds , one had been shown the oven for 60 seconds) one carrot and some sprout shavings. Needless to say I didn't eat any of it and had to walk to the supermarket (more un-jacketed rain) for a pork pie and some crisps.
Breakfast back inside the hotel proper was half decent apart from the lack of service and the kitchen staff using the conveyor-toaster in the dining room for (presumably) the room service trays (don't you have more than one toaster?annoying to wait 10 mins for toast) even then it only worked on one side, taking twice the time and belching out smoke when people put bread through twice but didn't turn it over.
All in all not a great experience , and a really poor dining one at that.

Me and my partner stayed at this hotel for one night in December. All the staff were lovely and very helpful! We had chosen to stay at this hotel just to use the leisure facilities and these were great. The pool was smallish but it was not busy when we used it so it didn't matter. We used the pool at about 4pm on a Saturday. The room was great, the bed was very comfy and we had a great night's sleep! I would choose to stay at this hotel and maybe next time I would pay extra to have a view of the pitch. The breakfast was great, very filling and again the staff were very friendly at breakfast.
My only criticism would be that the TV in the room randomly switched itself on and off at times but we weren't too bothered about this!
You can also pay an extra £15 per room to have a late check out on a Sunday and check out at 2pm which I think is a reasonable price.

Haven't stayed here for a while - we switched to neighbouring Premier Inn as the breakfast was hotter, cheaper and so much nicer. We decided to switch back for a night & stay at Bolton Whites. Lovely hotel, great room and facilities but - breakfast was (yet again) freezing cold! Went down at 8.15am. Only one other couple there yet breakfast bar was packed full of items which had been sat there for a VERY long time. Not only was it cold but bacon had gone dry and inedible and I almost broke a crown on the hash brown (sadly not exaggerating). Premier Inn wait until people start coming into the breakfast room and then restock the hot breakfast bar whilst people are getting tea and toast etc. I think staff at Bolton whites need to go for a premier Inn breakfast and see how it's done. But that was the only let down - great hotel and am sure we'll stay again

I had my 50th party here in August which had a few issues with the event planner not the hotel but the response back to my complaint has been brilliant. I was offered a stay in the hotel which when we arrived on 27th December found we had been given a penthouse suite. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant again this had been offered due to issues on the party night with a celiac meal, Claire who manages it came out personally to chat to us, we were given excellent service and the food was brilliant. I would recommend it. The hotel is also in an ideal location to get to many places being just off the motorway. I would stay here again

A party of 11, 8 adults and 3 children came to the NYE family night.
I have been to the adults only night several times and had a great night, however the family night was a bit of a let down.
I understand why it costs so much for the ticket as your staff will want paying for working unsociable hours, but to charge ridiculous prices for cheap wine and unbranded spirits left a sour taste in all our parties mouths.
Almost 10 pounds for à small rosé and pint of lager shandy! Come on.
Needless to say we had no trouble getting to the bar as we heard lots of complaints about the price of drinks.one family from our party left around 10 45 because they were quite disappointed too.
The atmosphere was rather flat due to peoples disapointment about the drinks and poor adult entertainment that commenced around 11pm when a lot of the families with very young children had left.
And as a result we won't be going back. The only positive was that the 3 children enjoyed themselves.

We stayed over Christmas and we could not have had a better time. The cleaners were great especially as we had an 18 month with us who liked to hide Christmas paper everywhere. We have never stayed in a hotel over Christmas but we will defiantly be staying here again. We only had breakfast the once as we were out early the other days but it was really nice. We have eaten in the restaurant before and it's really good value and the food is brilliant.
Would really recommend this hotel as it's really well located even for Manchester
Thank you to all the staff especially Suzanne
