Wigan (M6 Jct 27) Hotel

Not going to lie, this place far exceeded expectations. It’s was extremely good value for money. The reception staff were friendly and checkin quick. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything you need for an overnight stay. For £34 it was better than getting a taxi home.

Stay here when visiting my parents in the area and always looked forward to seeing the staff but this time I wasn’t impressed. The young guy on the evenings showed no interest. It was like he didn’t want to be there and spent more time outside the front door smoking (probably on the clock), on his phone and at one point witnessed him playing with a lighter at reception which seemed not only unprofessional but dangerous. Definitely not my usual experience at this hotel, hopefully they have drafted him in from another hotel to help with staff shortage. Tried the new restaurant next door, very nice, liked the little chocolate in my room on this occasion and plenty of free parking spaces at the time I arrived. The prices keep creeping up, the hotel isn’t being updated and now the staff aren’t welcoming. Disappointed on this occasion.

Hotel clean, good location, some staff lovely but the guy on reception seemed to spend most of his time smoking outside the front door (probably on the clock) or on his phone at the desk, also witnessed playing with a lighter which didn’t make me feel very comfortable. Definitely not my usual experience at this hotel, hopefully they have drafted him in from another hotel to help with staff shortage and will be getting the usual staff back shortly. Tried the new restaurant next door, very nice, liked the little chocolate in my room on this occasion and plenty of free parking spaces at the time I arrived. One thing that’s kept me returning to this hotel is the great staff but not sure what to think going forward. Also, no breakfast anymore which isn’t an issue for me as don’t eat early in the day.

The room was clean and comfortable! The front desk attendants were friendly and helpful. The hole was ideally located for everything I wanted to do in the area.

We always like staying at Standish Premier Inn, as its lovely and clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. (As my husband and I are disabled the staff are happy to help if we need it). It is also very handy for us as it's close to the M6
