First and last staf at Wigan Britannia.

The beds were comfortable. See photos for the room. Breakfast was poor, as all the food was fried and limited. Vegetarian breakfast was not offered. We had to ask for an egg and on the last day a staff member asked what we wanted but still got it wrong. One member of staff had dinner with a person staying amd dicussed very loudly that the old head cook was see on the CCTV getting a bj from the receptionist. No other food was available beside breakfast. The grounds were not taken care or cleaned. A nice staff member welcomed us, but didn't really know why you needed my driving licence number. This will be my last visit to a Britannia hotel unless updates are done.

Very poor experience

Had a five night stay at this hotel with my partner and son who is 8 years old. The landing we were on stank of cigarette smoke and there was guests who were shouting, swearing and had there volume on there tv on loudly all through the night. I let reception desk know about this daily and on the last night i went to reception at midnight to complain. There wasnt a adequate response to any concerns I expressed through my whole stay. Non of us slept so the hotle met no expectation and failed to perform despite giving them the chance to improve the situation. I jave aent my complaints to the manager who insists a one night out of five refund is appropriate... very poor sevice and hotel definitely avoid if you got a family evn if it was like us who were out all day and only coming back to get a short rest before another long trip out. Found the hotel to be very unforgiving even with the time to reflect via email after I patiently relayed our experience and was willing to allow them to redeem there reputation

Hotel was ok. Decent enough for the price. Staff were also ok. Check out day, we still had the ‘Do not Disturb’ sign on the door when the Housekeeper knocked. We were maximizing our time until checkout. Didn’t they see the sign by the door? Annoying. Not enough choices for dining in surrounding areas.

Not sure i’d go back not a good sleep

It was good that we could check in anytime after 3pm, as we needed a late check in. The room was ok, it was clean and had all the things you need for an overnight stay. The beds are not comfy, the pillows are really hard and the springs in the mattress were sticking up. The walls are very thin and we could hear next doors conversations well into the early hours of the morning. Nosie on the corridor was loud during the night too. I suppose you get what you pay for, we only stayed for 1 night and it was enough.

Sad - this hotel group should be ashamed

Hotel is in poor condition. Rooms smell ( I had two different rooms as the first had an unsavory stain on the nets). Shower has no water pressure whatsoever and cups were dirty. Bed was cheap and rock hard !! Staff were friendly - especially reception ( although a bit of body odor isn’t really the thing to smell when arriving). Place iz a total run down - location is ok but site has been let hi when it was a refugee hotel - I think they have a nerve saying it’s been refurbished. Could potentially be a nice hotel with a great location near Standidh and Parbold
