Booked Whites as it looked nice on internet and the reviews on Tripadvisor were reasonable. Booked through laterooms.com and so only paid half the normal price for bed and breakfast. Easy to park. Went to reception and was allocated a disabled friendly room in the middle of the hotel with no window except an internal one overlooking the stairs - guests could see in. Upon going back to reception the young man said I expect you were given room 332 not sounding at all surprised ! He kindly changed the room and so I was moved to a well appointed but small and dull room. There were all the facilities you would expect in the room, the bed was comfortable and the shower powerful and hot. The swimming pool was smaller than expected and not so warm but I enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The desk in the leisure complex is defunct and the complex is monitored by the reception staff. The seats in the lounges are plentiful and it was good being able to catch up on the sports news on the TV screens on the lounge walls late on. Breakfast was of good quality but the dining room was at the back of the hotel with its no windows and the staff were not particularly friendly. Some staff were more interested in getting their own breakfast! Would stay here again as an excellent location and it suited my needs but would not be willing to pay full price.

Stayed here when we were attending a nearby wedding. Excellent room and quick and friendly check in. Breakfast adequate, typical hotel fare. Whilst we didn't spend much time in the hotel, we would use it against if necessary. The big surprise, when we opened the patio window curtains , was the view over the Football pitch. Very impressive!!

I have stayed here a few times, and always feel impressed by the level of service and friendliness of the staff. Rooms are very comfy and clean, and facilities at the hotel are first class. Ample parking also. Highly recommended.

This hotel was booked for my parents to visit their new grand daughter, whilst booking a suite for the weekend we where told sorry but the other reservation agent had booked the last one...no worries as the double deluxe rooms where just as good!
On arrival all went ok, receptionist needed to call the duty manager over to confirm what room was booked, which was a little worrying.
Sadly disappointed to discover that the double deluxe room was really a larger standard room, with a 1980's TV, nothing in the way of modern deluxe facilities like many other hotels (audio, espresso coffee, power shower etc, etc).
To close I would say this hotel is very dated and needs more TLC to bring to the standards of many hotels, and we are left disappointed that our attempt to ensure my parents had a deluxe room was nothing more than a larger room akin to Premier Inn.

I didn't make the connection from the photograph that the "Whites" Hotel in Bolton is actually within the Reebok Stadium of Bolton Wanderers. It is a modern 4 star hotel, with all the facilities a traveller could want for a day or two, although not sure I'd want to stay longer. Parking is good during the week but obviously becomes problematic on match days. Internet was robust and tea and coffee in room. Public areas very nice and staff very helpful. The view from my room was over the pitch which was a unusual but not unwelcome. The only downside of this hotel was the room itself, and especially the bathroom, as it was more like a no-frills Travelodge or Premier Inn. I had an executive room, so I cannot imagine what the standard room was like. It was small and furnature was it felt just like a budget hotel. My Rating - Room : Average / Pool - Didn't use facilites / Location - Away from the city centre, isolated without a car / Room Rate - Good / Breakfast - Excellent, but charged extra at £10.50 a day. I would stay here again, as colleages tell me than in Bolton this is as good as it gets!

The location in the soccer ground gives it a buzz - some rooms can see the ground. Rooms new and clean, limited storage, poor lighting for my wife's make up (why do so many hotel chains always get this wrong?), an electric heater provided in May as well as main heating system, a few noisy guests. Food below average. The whole team including bar and restaurant staff superb. Great location next to huge shopping and food area, motorway and also train station almost on the doorstep. Plenty of car parking.
Some rooms have a few stairs for access only - we had very heavy luggage and had to struggle.

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting family. Room was on the 5th floor. Very quiet which I liked. Had to pay £8 for the cooked breakfast which was okay and nothing fancy. Plenty of parking space. Free wifi in the room.

We stayed on 14/06/14
Upon arrival the lady at reception was very welcoming, and very helpful. Very clean and all staff I seen was more than polite.
We was given a room on the road side , absolutely no problems with noise of traffic and we kept window open all night at that.
Was one of the best nights sleep id had in a long time comfy pillows !
Room was very clean and spacious.
Only been back 3 hours and booked for another night in 2 weeks time.
I Recommend this hotel to everybody.

I had a room booked in this hotel , the reservation was made by my company
The reservation was for 7 nights. The amount of 900 pounds was blocked on my card before I had any say in it. I find this an affront. Apparently the lobby staff could not unblock this amount and they were only following "rules". Enough to say I did not stay so I can not comment on the Hotel internals. I was promised that the monies will be unblocked the next day. Let's see.
The comment by the young reception said it all ( to her colleague ) " could you please show me how to check in someone for more than one night"!!!

Decent rooms,Food is not exciting and best to eat out.Great views over football pitch.High drink prices. Nearby train station gives easy access to Manchester,Blackpool etc.Reasonable rates for what you get.Staff in breakfast area a bit disjointed but nothing really poor.
