Very good stay
Pros:

We stayed in a Premium Plus room, these are beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Staff were all lovely and very pleasant. The breakfast room was very busy but it is half term and the breakfast was lovely.
We would definitely stop here again.

Another great stay
Pros:

We have been staying at this hotel for the past 20odd years and have seen it expand and undergo renovations and upgrades. The quality of the rooms and general appearance is clean and fit for purpose the premier plus rooms are worth the upgrade. Breakfast was great despite a very busy weekend special shout outs to regular stalwarts Bill on reception and Theresa serving the breakfasts for their help, assistance and generally great hospitality.

Warm, friendly and clean space to stay!
Pros:

During a road trip we stayed on two separate occasions over the course of 9 days in two different rooms, one on the ground floor for 3 nights and one on the first floor for one night. Both rooms were to the same standard, clean and spacious. Bathroom clean, only shower no bath but non slip bath mat can be requested if needed for kids/unstable adults. Breakfast was delicious. Hot food was made to order rather than buffet style. Sausages were delicious! Plenty availability of continental breakfast, cereals and fruit. All the staff we came across were friendly from the night porters to reception, chef and restaurant staff and even the maintenance man. Our breakfast was delivered promptly to our table and was a generous portion size. Would definitely stay here again.

Over priced accommodation
Pros:

Hotel was clean and accessible, breakfast was average like any other premier inn , check in and out was efficient, but the room was basic with no extras or condiments considering the price it was not value for money and was only a double bed . Location was ok.

GREAT STAY, COMFORTABLE HOTEL, GREAT BREAKFAST
Pros:

My Husband and I visited for a short break to see friends, who live close at Lostock Hall. Very polite gentleman on reception, who welcomed us and checked us in. Lovely comfy room, everything you need. It had no air conditioning and it was the hottest weekend in July, but, with the window open and the fan going, it still felt comfortable. Very very comfortable beds, in fact I had the best night sleep in a long time. Great shower, which you could use with the hand held part, or the water fall shower. Easy to use (unlike some), and getting the temperature right was a doddle. Mood lighting in the bathroom, if you have to use it at night. There was a strange smell in the room, but we think it was something the cleaners had used. Tea making facilities, kettle, no iron, but we had taken our own, but did not need it. Breakfast was great. The ladies who serve were so friendly, and everything was hot and freshly cooked (you could see the chef cooking and serving up). We will definitely return as we will plan to see our friends again. Definitely recommend.

Welcome break
Pros:

The best Premier Inn I have stayed in so far. Welcoming, clean, quiet and a good breakfast. The room was almost state of the art with absolutely everything you would need except for aircon but there was a good fan. Very, very nice indeed. Would stay again anytime. A welcome break on a long, hot journey.

Great location, friendly efficient staff.
Pros:

Little gem of a hotel. Recently refurbished. All the facilities you need - close to M6 but not at all noisey. Excellent pub next door (Walton Fox) for food and drink, where staff are very friendly.
Hotel is Surrounded by a few shops for emergencies including Sainsbury.
Staff go above and beyond to be helpful and make you feel welcome. I have stayed here several times and they always give great service. Breakfast is excellent, served in the hotel. High standard produce, great selection, well cooked. Or Continental option.
Very reasonable room rates. I highly recommend this hotel.

Bas experience
Pros:

The bed was awful. I was awake thre whole night.
The staff are lovely.
We had room 107, avoid as shower unusable as curtain too short and sprats everywhere making it a h & S issue.
They to update this room as it is so tired looking.
We had room 108 on other occasions and it is a premier Plus, you feel like you are in a different hotel.
