Had an overnight stay at this hotel in March, had problems with my card when pre-booking but the staff called and were extremely helpful throughout. Room was very clean and warm on arrival, overlooked the bus station but no noise issues at all. Stayed in hotel bar at night and wasn't disappointed with the service, even though it was busy. Car parking is an issue with a very small car park, left the car at a nearby stores car park without any problems.

Stayed here for two nights during the week , we did not find it too busy but parking was quite limited and we had to use the city car park which was subsidised at approximately £10 per 24 hours, there was parking on site available but it was limited and full
The rooms were on the quite small side but the service by the staff was good and a credit to the hotel

I've stayed here lots of times over the years, whenever I visit my mum. I used to rate it quite highly based on price versus value.
However, over the years it has had little investment and therefore now I don't feel it deserves a high rating.
On the posotve side the FOH service is always great, and the rooms are clean so the BOH staff must be okay too. Seems th management is okay but lacks investment.
On the negative side:
Mattresses are now very old and spongy so when one person moves so does the other.
They now seem to put rubber backed nattress protectors on all beds, something low budget hotels do. This drives me absolutely crazy, just creates unnecassary noise and heat. I always check and take these off!
The bathroom showers are powerful and strong but the decor is old and dated, even in the premium rooms.
The curtains have always been a bug bear of mine. Black-out lined but stand proud of the windows so a halo effect from the 24/7 car park lighting lets in lots of light.
I haven't booked breakfast since June, the last few times have been such a let down. Again not due to the staff but the room itself is so demoralising. Get breakfast on the go!

Excellent party atmosphere meal very good but we expected a choice of sweet Quiet a few of our party of 12 didn't like chocolate as the sweet consisted of just chocolate this was left by most people We would suggest a choice of sweet maybe j u st 2 to choose from or a sweet trolley/buffet This was the only disappointment to a lovely evening

Stayed at this hotel as a surprise from partner and it what a lovely surprise it was. Walked in to book in and the reception staff were extremely helpful, we went to our room, and again a lovely surprise, big room, four poster bed, just lovely. We went to the bar and had a meal there, which was very tasty.
I couldn’t actually say there was a bad bit about the whole stay. Would highly recommend this hotel

We didn’t stay here but came for tea at the sports bar they have here and we were not disappointed.We didn’t have to book as it was pretty quite the lady behind the bar Irene was lovely she gave us a menu and took our drink order she was very chatty and told us we could sit anywhere,we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala with rice naan bread and mini poppadums,and Fish and chips and mushy peas everything was delicious,sticky toffee pudding for dessert.with drinks was reasonably priced.Irene the waitress was outstanding nothing was too much trouble would definitely come again enjoyed it.

Stayed here as part of a coach trip when seeing a musical in Salford. On arrival the check in was swift and the room was fine, quite small but clean. The bar area is sterile and reminiscent of a school cafeteria: not particularly inviting or comfortable.
The costs of drinks is really excessive; 2 glasses of wine around £18: I would not be averse to paying this if the bar was a nice area to sit in but it’s not. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere’s so taxis would be required to visit other bars in the area.
As part of the booking we received evening meal and breakfast. This was average, however due to the low price we paid overall I think this was good enough value. The dining area is tired and needs updating.
The best experience of the stay was likely the staff who we found to be friendly and efficient. This hotel for me is an average three star...

Spent one night for business. The WiFi is pretty weak. If you have to log into a remote server (which i did) it's very slow and crashed a few times. The rooms and bathrooms are basic and need updating, but clean and well maintained. The bed was comfy and had a good nights sleep. The breakfast was basic - a little too basic.

We booked the upgraded double which was a nice size room. The room wasn't perfect as there were a few cobwebs and cracked paint on the ceilings and walls. The mattress and pillows were not great quality which resulted in a poor night's sleep for us both. We were meant to get a newspaper in the morning but it wasn't there when we went to check at 8.30am. I mentioned this at reception and was told that it was likely that someone picked it up when walking past the room. We did however enjoy the pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna and I also received a very good facial and massage from Karen in their spa. Breakfast was very good with a lot to choose from however it was a little overpriced at £11 per head. Overall we had a nice stay and as we live not too far away we will definitely be back to use there spa services.
