Facilities include free Wi-Fi, parking, accessible amenities, and a smoke-free environment, alongside a pet- and kid-friendly atmosphere.

Lovely modern clean comfy Travelodge. With a smart Bar Cafe. £10 unlimited breakfast Everything from Yoghurt pastries to English breakfast. Evening meal and desert for £15 . FREE PARKING Pet £20 per visit Obviously not plush rooms but for less than £30 a night if you get a sale bargain, what more can you ask for other than a room not facing the A666 as it never goes quite and emergency vehicles using sirens at 3am
My time in the travel lodge has been really good up to now and I'm here for the next 3 weeks or so
Clean and tidy just what you want for the weekend, staff friendly,efficient and helpful.
The best hotel iv stayed in i visit Bolton quite often to see family and the hotel is great always clean tidy and the staff are great I will be back next month
Lovely stay, friendly staff. There is limited disabled parking & can be a little noisy at night but overall, good experience.
Travelled with my family member who needed the disabled parking facilities, while this was available the first night the second on the other hand, no spaces available and all but one car had no disabled badged displayed. When highlighted to the person at reception, they informed us that the cars parked there were their own members of staff!! Not exactly great! Especially when they have a gated overflow carpark within a few feet. I hope our next visit will be better when accommodating the parking.
I stayed at a Travelodge many years ago and it was pretty basic, I remember asking for an extra pillow and the staff disappeared and was never seen again, fast forward to Bolton's Travelodge and it was a totally different experience, the staff where helpful and welcoming, the room was basic but well proportioned and very clean, the bed was comfy. There was a bar and eating area with food on offer. My only niggle was the room was very hot and there is no A/C so had the have the window open, unfortunately it's quite close to a main road and it was like trying to sleep next to a race track, every person within a 20 mile radius that had a sports exhaust and a turbo was racing about till 4 am.
Pleasant enough stay. Staff friendly. Located on busy junction. Better sound insulation would be nice. Could hear outside noise early evening (room above front reception).
Set between the A666 and A579 roads, this no-nonsense budget hotel is an 11-minute walk from the Octagon Theatre and 3 miles from the picturesque Moses Gate Country Park.
