Have just returned from a two day travel club mystery with Gardiners N M C Coach Holidays. The hospitality shown both on the coach and at the hotel was first class. The excursion stops on both days was superb. The hotel was first class, evening dinner (Christmas dinner) was excellent, reception, staff, rooms, brilliant. Hats off to Adrian and his staff of Gardiners, cannot praise them enough. I will definitely be going again( have already booked) value for money.

Visited Mercure on Christmas day, and wasn't what I expected for the price. On first impressions the room looked very smart. Although the room was visually pleasing, the table was cluttered with all the coffee cups, mince pies, and things that should have been brought out at the end of the meal. Leaving no room for the vegetables to be put on the table. This brings me to the next point, we had 1 bowl of vegetables and 1 bowl of roast potatoes (around 9) between 11 of us. When we brought this to their attention, it took nearly 15-20 minutes to bring extra portions, by then most of us had finished our meals. Leaving many of us without roast potatoes and veg until the end of the meal. Also when we brought it to their attention that there was not enough veg and potatoes to go around, the woman did not seem bothered. We did bring this to the attention of someone higher, who did apologise for this and offered us some free drinks as an apology. Also I was really surprised that no staff were waiting on drinks, if you needed a drink you had to go to the bar yourself, which wasn't a great problem however it would have been nice. The food was nice, but nothing more than what you would expect from your local pub, which is a quarter of the price. So overall I've given Mercure a 3 star as it was okay, however I don't think i will be going back there in the near future.

On arrival our group was greeted very warmly and efficiently. Staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Food was plentiful and well prepared. Our room was very comfortable, clean and had every facility we needed, including heating.
The only slight disappointment was in the amount of charges in the bar. It is accepted that these charges are not the fault of the staff, but I do feel they are a little higher than they need to be. In the area where I live a tonic water costs maximum of £1.60 in a good hotel, whereas in this hotel it was £2.10 for the same item. If one needs to drink wine purchased in the hotel, I would suggest a fairly well stocked wallet is needed.

Where the hotel is situated makes easy access to Middlebrook and supermarkets. The hotel itself offers fantastic facilities free of charge including high speed wifi, use of the swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym. Although on the website it does not state that these facilities are free which was 1. A lovely surprise 2. A good job we were prepared and brought swimming essentials. The staff were friendly and available at all times, eager to make your stay as pleasant and easy as possible. The room was basic yet had everything you'd need, the flat screen TV was a generous size and had HDMI ports allowing us to watch films through our laptop. The room essentials (bed sheets, bathroom) were immaculate but upon a closer look there were empty champagne bottles left in the wardrobe and so much hair under the bed sheet you could have made a wig.

Prior to booking the Georgian House, we did telephone them directly with regards to their pet policy. We were informed that we would be able to dine in the restaurant as Friday was "party night". They came across as very pet friendly, or so we thought. So we went ahead and booked bed and breakfast, including our dog to stay overnight. The price of the room was reasonable, however we have paid far less for more superior accommodation in Bolton and other areas. To be quite honest, my husband thought the room was ok, but the last time I stayed in the Georgian House (1988), it was far more luxurious and I believe it was 4*, not 3*. When we arrived the check in was very efficient and professional. However when we asked where the restaurant was, we were informed our dog would have to stay in the hotel room, that was unacceptable and also misleading from our initial call to the hotel. Having known that, we would not have booked the Georgian House. However it was party night, so we were reluctantly allowed to dine in there with our dog Bella. We had arranged for a close friend to dine with us that evening, so we were very disappointed that we had to take dinner in the cold and chilly bar area. The drink prices were extortionate, as was the meal prices. A main meal for three of us, with no drinks, was almost £60.00! Expensive for a 3* hotel. A round of drinks cost around £15.00. With wine, that would have added up to £100.00. We could't take breakfast in the restaurant or bar area, due to their pet policy. Breakfast in the room was provided (continental), trying not to be picky, but it was extremely basic. The toast arrived cold, the breakfast itself was very minimal. The accommodation was rather dated, with no character at all, pretty much clinical. Would not return to this Mercure Hotel. The window in the room looked like a skylight, and the hotel was very very noisy. Partying until 4 am.

We have been going to this hotel on new years for a few years now and I have got to say everything stays the same except the evening meal which has been going downhill over the years,this year the main was duck which I have to say was awful it was tough and tasteless also the other courses were not up to much either,i think its a rethink next year which is a shame

Bleak mid Jan you expect hotels to be quiet and at times understaffed. The Mercure Georgian in Bolton exceeded my expectations in all areas. Good atmosphere and excellent knowledgeable friendly staff in all areas of the hotel from the front desk through to the bar restaurant and all their leisure and beauty facilities.

This was our 4th visit to the hotel. We stayed in a family room on the 1st room, room was very spacious and clean. Staff very friendly. We stayed for evening meal and breakfast, both were very nice. We enjoyed our visit to the pool. Will definitely return again later on in the year.
