Motel The Mercury

540 Manchester Road, Westhoughton, Bolton, BL5 3JP, United Kingdom –

The location was great for the party we were going to be attending. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The cooked breakfast was lovely.

Samantha, United Kingdom

The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately the two workmen booked in next door were very vocal late at night up until the early hours. It wasn't very nice hearing the constant swearing that was going on,

Kayanne, United Kingdom

The location of this motel was excellent compared to where I was working. Also, the free Wi-Fi was better than I have acheived in some of the bigger chain hotels I normally stay in.

David, United Kingdom

Location very near to where we were assisting with decorating youngest's new flat. Evening meal we had on Monday was value for money. Shower was hot and powerful which is unusual in most British hotels we've stopped in.

Anonymous, United Kingdom

Nothing. Well outdated small rooms. Bathrooms filthy.

Sam, United Kingdom

Overall very comfortable. Non disturbed in the specifically requested Quiet room. Very good room with necessary items provided. Very satisfied. Definitely, recommend to my friends. Without any doubt, a peaceful night of stay overnight.

Joanna, United Kingdom

I regularly use The Mercury when travelling north. It is a good price and I like the character the building has. Yes it is a little worn in places but this adds to the charm. The rooms are clean and the staff happy to help.

Matthew, United Kingdom

Because we was attending a party at the hotel we stayed overnight so no travelling. Very basic.

Eric, United Kingdom

Everything, the staff were excellent, friendly and helpfull, and for the cost the facilities were very good, see you again the mercury...

Everything. The rest of our family stayed too, we all checked each other’s rooms, some had been re furnished and were nice, but 2 of us had rooms that I wouldn’t have booked out due to the extremely poor state of them. The room smelt foisty and just dirty.
There was nothing we liked about the Mercury. Extremely poor facilities and the room was in my opinion vile. I should have complained but we only stayed one night and it in all honesty was the worse place I’ve ever stayed
