3-Star Hotels in Oldham

Had to stay two nights for work and wasn’t going to be spending much time in the hotel so booked a Premier Inn as I knew what I could expect. The room was the carbon-copy Premier Inn standard room; no complaints, but no luxuries. Check in was seamless but no ‘above and beyond’ customer service. For example I had three large motorcycle panniers and my helmet to carry through the key card entry doors and no one offered to help with the luggage. Between the front door and the room I counted five No Smoking signs in total yet each night I could smell someone smoking *****. I guess the detectors aren’t as sensitive as the signs made out. I booked and paid for breakfast each morning at the time of booking and I went to get dinner on the first night. Big mistake. I had received an email to say the restaurant was undergoing refurbishment, asking me to bear with them, even though they were happy to take the same charge from me. It must have been the kitchen equipment that was out for refurbishment and instead they were left with a microwave and a camp stove. Poor microwave pasta dinner and very poor breakfast. Absolutely not worth the same amount as the ‘normal’ Premier Inn with full facilities. Next time I’ll book a room, get what I expect from Premier Inn and go elsewhere for breakfast.

Holiday Inns are usually a pretty consistent experience, a notch above Premier Inn but still reasonably priced. We were looking for somewhere to stay not too far from our family while visiting and this looked OK. Arriving really late (thanks to all the daftness going on with the M60 at the moment) our first experience of the hotel was waiting around to be checked in for around 20 minutes before the night clerk found us. The venue opposite had a party going on which of course we didn't find out about until we arrived, but were too exhausted to care. Though the night clerk was extremely friendly and welcoming, he did warn us we might not get much sleep. Ironically it was nothing to do with the party (which wrapped up around 1 am) but a weird unidentified buzzing noise that seemed to start up when we settled down to sleep, almost like someone was constantly ringing the front door buzzer (though we don't think it was that). It seemed to come from inside the room. We tried all sorts, locking / unlocking the door, switching the air con off, fiddling around with the fridge. Imagine someone constantly playing a really loud version of the old board game ”Operation” all night at random time intervals and you'll get the general idea. Even with my trusty earplugs (which are usually essential in any hotel) I couldn't settle and the noise cut straight through them anyway. I think in the end we must've just passed out from sheer exhaustion! To be fair to the hotel, they were extremely apologetic (though seemed equally clueless about what the noise could have been) and did offer a discount (not a huge discount but better than a slap in the eye I guess). Even when we left the room in the morning the noise was still going on - so if the hotel ever DID find out what the heck it was and would like to clue us in, we're all ears... The rest of the experience was OK. The room and bathroom were both spotlessly clean (so kudos to the housekeeping staff), the breakfast was great (plenty of hot and cold options and a nice comfy breakfast room). Location was handy for Stockport / Marple and nearby National Trust places and parking was OK (though with the party going on we did have to park around the back of the building). This would have been a higher rated review as the staff were really helpful here - but that darned buzzing noise really knackered our chance of a good night's sleep.

Good hotel as a base cheap. Hotel is clean check in was smooth and polite. We arrived at 13hrs room ready but wanted £10 so we waited until 14hrs. WiFi was great in the whole of the hotel and was free. Room was very big and clean a little dated curtains ripped only one chair for two people and low water pressure on shower, but we don’t pay Ritz prices!! So happy with room. Hotel was quite couldnt hear rooms next door. Hotel does have a strange feel as people are living in the hotel and walking though reception with dogs shopping etc and hanging about. Breakfast was ok for £4 but due to the customers living in hotel the area was loud and some people rude. Also didn’t seem to respect the hotel like the people paying to stay there. Also people hanging around outside as they only have a room so just hanging about in reception and outside. Would I stay again Yes as good value
