Cracking hotel in a great location. The rooms are comfy and we had great service from all the staff also you can use the facilities on site so we take our grandson to the big swimming pool which is a 25 meter pool and is really really good. Location is perfect close to the M 62 and Bury town centre and a great location for visiting friends and family we been back a few times and will be back again it’s also great value for money

The conference room was very noisy whilst a zumba class was going on in an adjoining room, but this didn't last too long. Conference facilities are good, food provided is always excellent although takes a long time to serve the numbers involved in a conference. Service overall is good though.

We actually had an issue not with the hotel, but with behaviour of some thoughtless guests. The response of the hotel staff couldn’t have been better! They acted swiftly & without fuss. This is how you judge great service... when something extra is needed & it is delivered.

My rating has reduced for this chain after a number of changes that have occurred in the last 12 months at Bury.
No quiet public areas to socialize in.
Removal of lounge area.
Pub area converted to paid 'business lounge', with very little usage.
Parking charges now for stays over 4 hours except weekends.
The latter having an adverse affect on the pleasure of the gym members as it restricts the time they can use the facilities without it increasing drastically their costs. Personally it would add over a £100 per month for me to retain my use of the facilities lije I used to, in effect restricting my access time to 4 hrs.
Restaurant converted to two open area with large screen & settees (no sound sub-titles but with loud music blaring so neither able to listen to the programmes nor use the space to relax or chat with friends), mixed tables & chairs for brunch style servings (healthier options at a more costly price), incorporates in, the centre a large square bar area & on the far side a sit down more traditional style restaurant area, however the cacophony of noise persists, some may call it atmosphere, but for me it feels neither one thing now the other. The staff are still pleasant, but the feeling of having different spaces to fit different needs has for me been lost in the changes.
My current thoughts are & my friends agree we don't stay or visit to socially eat & chat anymore. It may appeal to others more, but not me & my ilk. A number have left for membership elsewhere and I'm considering this too. I like the people & the trainers here but if I can't get the service & quality of product I once did, not the enjoyment of the facilities, I may as well go to another closer gym, pay less & get more. I enjoyed the location & outside space in the warmer months but to lose that option to utilise that too due to excessive parking fees will drive me & many other members away.
I hope the managers look at the reviews, listen to the petitions & act & do the right thing by their members, as was done initially, by giving them passes.

Really good, only used the leisure facilities. But had some really good salt and pepper chicken and chips.

Like this place a lot. Staff are very friendly, rooms comfortable. Has a bar and restaurant as well as a spa including a pool. Great place to stay to explore the surrounding area. Also has a carvery pub next door and close to motorway exit. Expect to pay hotel prices for drinks though.

The standard room was absolutly beautiful. I booked this room as a place for my friend and I to sleep after out night out for Halloween. Checking in was really easy and the facilities are clearly signed. The room was a lot bigger than I had expected, plenty of room for my friend and I to get changed into our outfits, with a mirror big enough for us both to share. The room had everything we needed including a really nice choice of coffee and tea, a huge TV and nice smelling toiletries in the bathroom. The bathroom itself was spotless, unfortunatly with all hotels of its size it does suffer with having a shower that doesn't get as hot as I like and isn't very powerful. However the best part about the stay was the bed! It has a very cosy mattress topper which made the bed so easy to fall asleep on and gave my friend and I the best sleep I think I've ever had in any hotel. The staff are friendly and genuinely happy to help, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who will listen 10/10 on every front!

Nice place very modern. We unfortunately had a room at the back of the hotel so quite a long walk. Checking is was a bit ridiculous as they dont really have a reception, just some poor guy at a flash looking table with a touch screen interface. More than one person in front of you and you will have a long wait!! Also as nice as the rooms are they really need to use a hoover properly as it was still dirty - the friends we had staying at the hotel as well all said the same thing!!

Visited the hotel pub for Friday burger for a pound deal. Seating area nice and open, staff friendly. Ordered burgers with bacon and fries and although fairly busy they arrived soon after. More of a good snack rather than a full meal but already knew that as had many times before. Well worth it and easy to access from motorway junction.
