Bolton Hotel

Bolton Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"My partner and I stayed in the hotel and the stay was amazing. The room we booked was spacious and they had plenty of towels which was a struggle at other places we’ve stayed before. The bedroom and bathroom were stunning and we loved the fact that the bath and shower were big enough to accommodate my height. The gym and swim area were perfect. The pool was big enough to get some swimming laps, the sauna was clean and the spa was nice to relax in. The staff were absolutely lovely and when we had any questions they were more than happy to help us out. I will say that the washer dryer was quite confusing to use. But even then staff are more than willing to give you clarification on how to use it correctly. The area it’s located in has plenty of options for parking and I own a truck so I parked on the street which was a great option because I can never find a parking tall enough to fit in. Overall our stay was comfy and felt luxurious. Me and my partner loved our stay and would totally recommend this place for couples."
