A most unpleasant stay
Cons:

On the second night it was impossible to sleep.Shouting and obscenities next door continued into the night. The night porter became involved but the problem was not resolved. Even when the voices quietened a little we could still hear every word. A big part of the issue was the room. We were given half of a family room with some loose insulation put between the interconnecting doors. It was like being in the same room as the noisy guests. Reception could not deal with the complaint because we had booked with booking.com.

tiring and disappointing
Pros:

Handy location

Cons:

Noisey. Room was near to bar/restuarant and some guests still drinking, laughing and talking very loudly at 2.40am with the windows wide open! It was a stifling hot and humid night, no A/C. Could not have our room window open else noisier still . Very little sleep achieved before a very early departure

Terrible Hotel
Pros:

Nothing at all

Cons:

Staff were rude
All staff were very young and did what they wanted. A man was waiting over 20mins for staff to come and serve him
Had to move rooms at 10pm due to the smoke alarm in the room going off and no manager on site to deal with the issue
No disabled access at all

Needs new carpets
Pros:

Bed and linen clean.

Cons:

Carpets in hallway and room dirty and stained. I spoke to reception as room also smelt a little like sick. I told reception but she just said there were no other single rooms available and offered an air freshener... didn't even offer to check room 😕. For £99 room only I expect better, £60 would have been fairer price.
No lift and because door entry card not working I then had to go all the way back down to the ground floor to get sorted. This has happened every time I've stayed.

Pros:

Location great, walking distance in to ramsbottom
Bed was comfy
Lovely biscuits and coffee tray

Cons:

Place was clean but very old fashioned/basic
Any mobility issues I would avoid, stairs only access to rooms
Check out was 11, felt early would have loved to try the pool but ran out of time, 12 o clock would be brilliant

Good location, nice staff facilities extremely disappointing!
Pros:

The staff we’re lovely and friendly & location was very convenient for the town

Cons:

Extremely dated, I love old buildings but the interior was drab and worn, the room was dark and extremely small even for a compact double, with old furniture and door that didn’t fit properly, (not great for fire safety) the bed linen didn’t smell fresh and when you pay £95 for a room you expect wash stuff, it was minimalist all of which made the price seem totally unreasonable, on top of all that the couple next door were super noisy and I could hear everything through the wall…

Pros:

Staff were friendly, room was clean and there was a great selection of board games in the lounge. Breakfast was good, too. We got a free upgrade to a larger room because the hotel was quiet and this was much appreciated.

Cons:

The whole hotel was very tired and a bit shabby. The pool was freezing, not only the water but the room and changing rooms. The doors on the showers were rotten through and you couldn't lock them because the wood was so warped. Showers in the leisure club alternated between warm and icy cold (no way to control temp, just a push button on a timer). But, for the price and location, I was willing to overlook these niggles and would stay again!
