Positive Reviews
positive:
Five Star staff.
Most guests give the front desk and management staff rave reviews for their personable and professional customer service, noting that they happily "go above and beyond" to make their stay comfortable. Though the Mercure Georgian House Bolton is a three star hotel, several guests noted that even the youngest staff members seem to be very well trained and hard working, and that everyone seems to enjoy their work. Several guests noted that the level of customer service was better than they had experienced in much pricier hotels.
positive:
Great bed and breakfast.
The rooms are often described as "spotless" and spacious. Rooms at the back of the building have a restful view of the countryside. Most guests find the beds very comfortable, and the ample breakfast buffet, complete with eggs cooked-to-order, has something to please most tastes.
positive:
Great location for drivers.
Drivers note that the hotel is easily accessed off the M61, and that there is plenty of free parking. It is also within a short drive of many sporting attractions. Several guests enjoyed cooling off the pool after their travels, and comment that the facility is nicely maintained.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Pricey drinks...
It is not unusual for bar prices to be set a little high in hotels, and it seems that the Mercure Georgian House Bolton is no exception to the rule.
negative:
Rooms getting a little tired...
Several travellers noted that the decor is beginning to reveal its age, and that the rooms could use re-painting. A small group had housekeeping oversights to report.
negative:
Hot summer nights...
The hotel is not air-conditioned, and rooms at the front of the hotel are south-facing. Unfortunately, opening the window to let out the heat lets in some noise from the nearby motorways.
