Upton

"The overall aspect of the property was misleading, the property wasn't of a standard that I would expect from a Vrbo property or any rental property, the cleanliness was far from acceptable, massive cobwebs in a few rooms, stains on carpets, rugs that we really a bad trip hazards, the one at the top of the stairs which we moved, sofa bed not fit for purpose, stains on bedding, dishwasher didn't clean properly, no welcome pack, lights in the small bedroom wasn't working, mold and grime build up...

Top Runcorn Hotel Reviews

The Mill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely reception and bar area and outside space - rooms and corridors very tired Would stay again staff lovely"

Novotel Liverpool Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location and lovely staff. There's a booking system for the pool which we weren't aware of at the time of booking, it's fine just a little inconvenient but it does make sure the pool isn't too busy. The gym was well equipped if a little small. Our room had a separate toilet from the shower/bath - the only problem with this is there was only a sink with the shower so you had to go between the rooms. And the shower room stayed a little damp (I don't think the vents were working properly but as we only stayed two days we didn't both reporting it to the hotel staff admittedly). Beds comfortable and a great sized room too. All in all pretty good value, and we appreciated having a small fridge too. Very quiet too - must have great soundproofing!"

Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel to stay in before flying next day Great staff and restaurant. Shuttle service was great. Easy to get to airport. The corridors were designated quiet zones at night."

Clayton Hotel, Manchester Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice comfortable room. Easy access to airport. Very friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely be booking a stay again next time I travel."

Malacuna Liverpool

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff, quiet area, rooms noisy though cause people walking, talking, slamming doors late inside night"

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a basic room with a double and single bed. It had everything needed for a short stay and the public areas seemed clean and well maintained. Whilst the room overall was clean, the bathroom was in need of a housekeeping inspection as the underside of the toilet rim was visibly black and the back of the bath taps also were in need of a toothbrush and some bleach! No breakfast was included in our booking and we declined to pay extra for the breakfast as it was a flat rate of £14? and for those just requiring toast and coffee it was not good value. The cost of the drinks and snacks on offer in the foyer also seemed on the high side. Room value for money was good and the hotel position for our needs was excellent."

Adelphi Hotel

8/10 Good

"great breakfast travelled by train,station in easy reach of hotel staff friendly and helpful"

Hope Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the hotel, there was nothing to fault (we had a free upgrade). It was a special anniversary so everything was beyond our expectation. Everything was tastefully designed. The room was beautiful, well lit, well furnished and the bed was so comfortable. There was a large bathroom and walk in shower. We stayed on the3rd floor facing Philharmonic Hall and there was negligible noise from the road below and none from the rooms around us even though the hotel appeared to full or close to full on a Friday evening. The food in The London carriage Works restaurant was excellent and breakfast the next day was good too. Lastly, the staff were polite and kind without being obsequious."
