9.4/10 Exceptional! (683 reviews)

I love this hotel, it’s in a great location. The studio room is the best, I love the size and layout. Clean room with a great view. This is my second time staying at this hotel and I’ll probably be back. That’s mostly down to the best hotel gym I’ve seen in a long time. Staff are OK, I don’t like that service charge is added but it is very easy to take off.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)

This was our 3rd visit to the Worsley hotel whilst visiting family in the UK. The hotel is nice, but the rooms are a bit in need of an upgrade. The bathrooms could use better quality towels and new granite. The current countertop looks old and worn out like an older motel, not a 4 star hotel. The bedding is minimal and when I asked for a blanket was told they only had duvets. I was really looking for something for comfort but the thin bedding was minimal and not cozy at all. The staff is always welcoming and the restaurant provides a great full English breakfast with all the trimmings. The grounds are lovely even if we aren't golfers.
