Wigan Town Centre hotel

Fantastic stay in the premier inn, Wigan town centre,lovely team members nothing was toooo much trouble, can not wait to return

I stayed here in order to be close to the Edge Conference Centre, where I was attending Stationeryfest for two days. All in all I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights due to flights from Copenhagen. The hotel was recommended by the organizer of the event and I agree, this was good value for money. We did wanted to be in walking distance and spend our money at stationeryfest and not blow it all on hotel costs. The hotel is nothing fancy but I have seen some truly bad hotels in London, so I was impressed with this UK hotel. What sort of room one can get outside London for less money. They do not have someone man the reception at all hours, you have to knock on the staff door to get someone to come out and talk to you but staff is friendly and helpful. There is a lift for you which is a plus. I have been in London hotels that do not even if you are on the fifth floor. The room itself was not a shoebox and since I was there with an IG friend I had never met before in real life, I appreciated that we did not have to live on top of each other but had some space to ourselves. The staff had pulled the double bed in to two beds! We had plenty of room for suitcases and our personal items, both in the room itself and in the bathroom. The only bad things were really these: 1. I did not have an electrical outlet on my side of the bed which was bad because I needed to charge my phone at night and my tooth brush during the day. My friend could lay in bed and look at her phone and post on IG while charging her phone over by her window bed, but I had to get out of bed every time I needed to look at my phone and my alarm woke her up since I could not get to it quick enough to turn it off. So she was forced to wake at the same time as me. 2. I totally hated wiping myself with Kleenex. That is what is used for toilet paper in a lot of UK places now and as a woman, I do not appreciate getting pee or poop on my fingers because this Kleenex paper they use is too thin and the little squares too small to make in to a wad. I used oodles the first day and hated this system so I was forced to get to the shopping centre as soon as I could and buy proper toilet rolls for my five day stay! 3. The doorless closet is too short for dresses to be hung up so the newly ironed dresses could not hang straight and I ended up going to the event looking wrinkled which was alright I guess, but a little of a nuisance when I wanted to look my best. 4. My friend was drying her hair every day and she hated standing in the hall drying it by a poorly lit mirror that we also had to use to apply make up by. If you are a man who will use an electric razor or you are a woman who wants to dry your hair with a hair dryer, there are no electrical outlets in the bathrooms, so hall it is. 5. Our first night, after the event, we were exhausted. It had been hot at the Edge with no AC, we had walked with heavy things we had bought and all we wanted was to sit down and have a pizza at the hotel, which actually have a restaurant. But… despite the restaurant having tons of tables and only one table had occupants, we were told that there would be a 20 minute wait for a table because they only have one chef. We felt that the waitress did not really want us there, so we left and our little group of women had to head out again, around the corner and order take out pizzas at Papa Joe’s. We were invited to eat them in one girl’s room since she had a three bed room all to herself. So there we sat all of us on the beds, eating out of boxes when it was not really what we had wanted to do. But I guess it was a fun experience. It did turn us totally off the hotel restaurant though. I do not know if they only have one chef on Friday evenings and more staff other nights? But we did not even bother finding out the other nights since the negative vibes on the Friday turned us off to the restaurant in general.

I went to this premier inn a couple of weeks ago, and had a really good experience. The room was super clean and check in was really easy. I always want a couple extra towels and one of the members of staff called Danny was super helpful got me the towels straight away and was very helpful and friendly throughout my stay. His service was simply great and will be returning!

Recently stayed here with friends while attending the Billie Eilish concert in Manchester, the room was clean and tidy for us arriving, the very good looking guy at reception (I think his name was Danny) was so lovely and was able to help us out with all our questions, going above and beyond helping us out with where we could get a nearby train from to Manchester. Every time we seen him he was so friendly and always so smiley. Will definitely book this place again!

Had a lovely stay at premier inn, staff were very friendly and so helpful! In particular Danny who was amazing, room was spotless and food and service very good!
