Great room, nice bathroom was quite new and modern, tv didnt work however. Location a little outside town but a bus stop was nearby. It wasnt too expensive for an uber into city, approximately £14. Ate in the bar one night but the food was only average. Went into bar next evening and waited 10 minutes for staff to turn up even after ringing reception. Staff were friendly.

What a room. Massive and comfortable. Most unlike a Holiday Inn. The bar and breakfast service were excellent, all staff were really friendly and attentive. I haven't used it before and had really stopped using Holiday Inns because the are too often expensive, dated and poorly run. This is a great exception.

Stay was very comfortable, the receptionist was extremely helpful. Only couple of complaints, it was being decorated outside my room and the plastic sheeting they had put down was very noisy in the morning as people walked by. My room was directly above reception and the outside lighting coming through the window was too bright even with the curtains closed. It was like I had the bedroom light on.

Room was comfortable, bathroom was dirty with dried toothpaste left on the sink. Service in the bar was awful. It was like the chef didn't know what was on the menu, starter was wrong. Main was wrong, when they eventually delivered a "pie" it was in a bowl with a layer of uncooked pastry and a slice of cheese on top.

This hotel was perfect for our stay. The room was clean and roomy. Bathroom with shower large and modern. Every member of staff that we came across was polite, helpful and friendly. A special mention for Bassam on reception. When we arrived to check in he was dealing with a very awkward and irate guest (who was completely in the wrong). Bassam dealt with everything in a most professional, calm and polite manner.

They took payment at check in, we had prepaid. When I remembered this and told the staff on duty there was no apology from them. They took a while to figure this out on the system and refunded us. But still no apology. The walls are made of paper. Could hear people coughing in the next room, turning taps on etc.

Setting is quiet and feels safe, with convenient access to the motorway and easy parking. It sits a little outside town, but Ashton is walkable and a bus stop and ride hailing make city trips straightforward.
