    The bathroom was very small, and I kept banging my side on the door handle which sticks out

    The hotel is very nice, looks like it's recently renovated

    Car park was smaller than I expected. Harder to park, the shower was a little wonky, the beds were at different highs.

    The staff was lovely and informative, the room was a nice size, the shower was lovely, the curtains were good, the location was also good and it was good to be close. Energy efficient

    An acceptable eventful stay in an average room where really you could be anywhere ........

    The restaurant staff were hopeless (although did try their best, were very friendly and kind) where food intolerances were concerned, and the kitchen staff must be aware of cross contamination of gluten in fryers at all times! Having navigated dinner i decided to give breakfast a miss.

    The welcome at reception was very good. The room was quite large , clean and the bed reasonably comfortable for one night. The shower room was quite small in comparison with the size of the bedroom but adequate and it did have a good magnifying mirror.

    A very nice room with a great breakfast but check out the old church when you are there!

    • Double Room

    Just a couple of small things but none of which spoiled my stay. If staying for a few days a small fridge would be very handy. Also there was no proper space for clothes, just a very small wardrobe with a couple of coat hangers.

    1st time that I have stayed here. A very nice hotel located just on the edge of town, about a 15 minute walk from the train station. I stayed in a double room which was adequate for my needs for 1 night. Very comfy bed and a great shower. Breakfast was very good, hot and cold self service with plenty of choices. I would certainly stay here again in the future. If you get the opportunity try and take a peek into the old church area, located to the right hand side of reception, it really is quite amazing!

    there was no toilet paper and they had to give us tissues to solve this issue! However, the staff were great and went looking for solutions to the problem. Staff also found decaffeinated tea.

    Breakfast and room both great

    The bed was lumpy, they wanted to charge £5 delivery fee for room service and the shower pipe in my room was leaking which reduced the shower pressure

    THe staff were very friendly and helpful and the cleanliness of the hotel was good.

    The cord on the blind was broken so once we had pulled the blind down at night we couldn't raise it again in the morning. The room was nice and warm but the only duvet was quite thick and thus we were way too hot during the night.

    Lovely check-in with Lucy. Good to have on-site car park. The bed was very comfy and the pillows nice and soft, which is unusual for Holiday Inn! The hotel was very easy to find, just off the main road. The most noticeable feature was how incredibly clean the whole place was.

    The window of Room 129 was partly blocked by a unit outside, making the room dark. The room was not cleaned on the 7th. March, the mugs not washed, and the towels changed. The shower drain was sluggish, but was cleaned, following my complaint.

    Convenient for Bolton Town centre, and for my son to collect me.
