This hotel has had a little facelift since my last visit, but the impact is limited and the attention to detail is missing. For example they have fitted the curved shower curtains, which are nice but they haven't made good on the old fittings (see my photo).
Given the average food, location and lack of parking... it's a bit over priced.
Great redeeming feature... the staff that are amazing.

Stopped on our way back from Scotland for just one night, in a coach so parking was not a problem.
Check in very easy and quick, room on the fifth floor over looking the main road so was able to listen to the police cars racing about late at night but if you stay in the town centre what do you expect.
Two really good points to tell you about this hotel that impreessed me.
One, there was a face flannel in the bath room, very unusual these days but a nice touch as my wife always has to take here's with us every trip.
Second, the T.V has a stop on it on the volume control so that you cannot upset the room next door if they are trying to get an early night. pity other hotels do not follow suit.
Staff went that extra mile for us and I even gave one waitress a cuddle as she was so good to myself and my wife.
Thanks for making our one night with you worth remembering ROY

Without exception the staff here may be the friendliest, most helpful I have experienced. They are friendly while maintaining their professionalism. The front desk, the bar staff and those serving our breakfast all made our stay better than we could have hoped for.
The hotel is in a central location, clean and comfortable. We got an excellent price £43.00 for a Saturday night, free parking, (though limited) and breakfast was very good quality and extremely good value at only £10.00 per room.
The hotel building is standard fair really but it is worth staying here just to know the staff will go out of their way to help you and genuinely make you feel welcome.

On a group tour so accommodation booked for us. Luggage in advance was helpfully placed in our rooms so avoiding a scrum when our coach arrived to drop the group off. The lifts were a pinch point with an 8 person limit but room for ftve max with hand luggage and an overload voice alarm if more than four of us got in....
No 13 amp socket by the bed for my CPAP machine but a quick visit to reception and one was delivered about five minutes later. Full marks.
Rooms slightly small and we had to sit our shared and hinged suitcase on the desk that is power socketed for laptops etc.
No in-room wifi although that is promised. Meanwhile an IDSN socket with two options of free limited bandwidth or paid access for higher usage. Seems fair to me and the limited bandwidth option worked fine for me.
We were fed by our tour co so did not eat at the hotel

Clean, comfortable with lovely staff. Breakfast was plentiful with ample choice. I had the haddock with a poached egg and would recommend it. Our room was on 2nd floor but wasn't noisy at all. Very convenient for bus to visit our family. Definitely stay again

Stopped at this hotel for one night on the return from our tour of Scotland with GB Tours.
Ideal stop over. Good room, food and staff. Could not have been better in any respect. Would certainly stay here again. Dinner was Good and what a fantastic breakfast.

Can't imagine a more generic hotel experience. Felt like I may have been the only guest present, some areas look like they are in need of some TLC however the reception and mezzanine areas recently redone.
Great location, two minutes from the town centre and with easily accessible parking At the front.
Hard to express any distinct feelings negative or positive towards the place

Noisy. Typical of the chain, somewhat cheap and spartan accommodations. Rooms were small, but clean. No check-in or checkout hassles. The breakfast was a plus. Beyond that, pretty much an unexciting booking that met a stopover travel need. Average.

In January 2019, David Turley said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Positives:
Really nice staff (as always when you are up near Bolton)
Location near motorway
Gym/Pool
Value for money
Nice breakfast
Car parking
Nice comfortable bed
Clean bathroom/bedroom
Negative:
Hotel is a bit “tired” and could do with decorating in some places.
Other than that it’s good value for money!

In February 2019, Alpacatogo said about Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel
Friendly helpful staff, as other people have mentioned areas of the hotel look tired and carpets worn places needing a lick of paint. Bedroom and bed linen clean enough, bathroom think the cleaner was only used to cleaning a lighthouse as corners where grubby. For the price couldn't grumble as it was conveniently placed for what we wanted. Some reviews would definitely put people off but if staying 1 or 2 nights its okay.
