First impressions were not good. The Lancashire rain was pelting down in a summer downpour and the path from the car park to reception was almost totally blocked by the wedding DJ's transit van. Stepping through the perfect puddle alongside the van made for a grand entrance.
Reception staff were very quiet but efficient. I'd booked a privilege room which made for a good bed, extra space, and a coffee pod machine. All good and clean.
At least one wedding reception was in progress so it didn't bode well for a peaceful stay. The torrential rain accompanied high temperatures and made for a muggy night. No aircon meant a sweatlodge atmosphere in the room and opening the windows from desperation brought the wedding into the room. The restaurant was also aircon free. Breakfast was good and the lack of aircon meant nothing was cold.
Checkout time revealed that the DJ had probably stayed over and whatever he had shifted it had obviously not been his van.
Did he play hot summer nights, I wonder?

I stayed here whilst on business trip to Bolton.
I had concerns after reading other reviews but was pleasantly surprised . The room was clean, pleasant & comfortable and it made a change to have a decent size bathroom. Nice to have a leisure club, though I didn't have time to use it.
However there isn't any a/c in the rooms & I stayed on one of the hottest days we've had. The window didn't open very far, and the hotels set back off a busy road, so it was noisy. But I'm sure this will get sorted.
Didn't eat dinner, but breakfast was good & I had a great omelette.

We stayed for one night as we were attending a family funeral the following day. We stayed in room 214. The room was a decent size but was definitely in need of a refresh. The sink in the bathroom has a big crack in it; the shower is ancient and lacks pressure; above the shower there are dots of black mould on the ceiling. The furniture in the room shows obvious signs of wear and tear!
Breakfast was adequate but limited. The fresh fruit available for us was just melon chunks. Croissants were on the menu but absent when we ate. We could have requested them but it was a sad day for us and to be honest they should know how many people they are catering for and have supplies available!
The bar area could be so pleasant but some chairs are badly stained and greasy and when you are paying £80 a night, it's just not good enough!
Having said all that, the staff were very polite and accommodating. The hotel has such potential because of its location and I hope things will improve.

The room was okish and in keeping with the aged property (creaky floorboards etc)
However the bath was impossible to fill as it had air gaps in the plumbing or something causing the water to splutter everywhere (this did not settle down)
Eventually we managed to fill the cramped aged yellowing bath to a suitable level/temp.
The bed was uncomfortable, it was lumpy with nasty hard pillows.
I'm yet to taste breakfast but am not hopeful of owt decent.

We attended a family wedding at this hotel and because we had a long distance to travel home and we wanted to have a drink or two we decided to book a room for the night. The room was clean as expected and free wifi available in all areas of the hotel. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and along with the blackout curtains this helped us have very good nights sleep. Complementary tea and coffee were provided but sadly no biscuits! The bar prices were a little to extravagant for my liking c£10 for a G&T and lager but apart from that we would still happily stay over again if necessary. Oh and to end on a plus point the full breakfast was very very good.

My wife and I have just returned from a two night stay at this hotel....the receptionist who checked us in was very pleasant and thorough and gave us directions to our room which was lovely and big with a seating area aswell as a huge bed! Everywhere was very clean....we had a bite to eat in the bar and the food was really good too.
Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice...we also had a couple of treatments at Natural Balance (which is based within the hotel) which were excellent.
Will certainly be staying again in the future :0)

Recently stayed at this hotel for a night and found it very comfortable. The room was large and newly refurbished and the food was excellent. At our wedding the staff were very friendly and polite, including Joe and Caitlin who couldn't do enough to help the guests, making the day even more special. They made everything run very smoothly from what we could see and were very organised and professional. Visited the gym as well which was good and the bars were clean. Would recommend for a wedding.

As a regular visitor I am always made to feel welcome and the staff are great. Some rooms are better than others and many are in need of a bit of tlc, although cleanliness is always first class. Standard and specials menus provide a decent choice of meals. No aircon in rooms so can get a bit warm on a hot day. If you are feeling energetic you can make use of the gym and pool.

The location was excellent for Salford and Manchester; 30 - 40 minutes.
The staff were excellent and really helpful.
The food was okay; sandwiches as I arrived well after 21:00hrs.
The room was clean and tidy.
When you see the pictures you'll see why, in my opinion, it needs a little TLC.
I would stay here again.
