Would use again

the breakfast staff was helpful. The rest of the process was a bit slow. Price was fair which is why I didnt make more of a fuss.

Good, minor niggle

Mostly good. Communication could have been better in the middle bit. Price was fair which is why I didnt make more of a fuss

Fine, would give 5 stars if the family room had been ready when they said. Hopefully it was a one off.

Had a weekend break with Bolton Royal Oak Hotel on Tuesday. No pressure, no upselling, just good honest service. Bar has a good selection of local ales. Been telling everyone about them. Excellent, thank you.

Ok

Good stay. £300 felt a bit much for what it was. Might have been unlucky.

Really pleased

Breakfast is cooked to order and huge. Everything was explained properly without any jargon. Exactly what I asked for, nothing more nothing less. Thanks the bar staff!

Awful

Queued 25 minutes at reception to check in with one person on the desk. Restaurant was the same.

Nearly perfect

Comfortable but thin walls, could hear the corridor all night. Might have been unlucky.

Good but slow

Lovely staff, shower pressure was poor and the WiFi kept dropping. Might have been unlucky

Poor communication

Booked a family room, given a double with a camp bed. Said it was our fault for booking online.
