When selecting a hotel close to Wigan town centre, this was virtually the only hotel on offer. I was a bit apprehensive at first, since I remember when this hotel was first built, and the bad reviews is garnered. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The best thing about this hotel is the staff, who were all very helpful and friendly... More

As a season ticket holder at Wigan Athletic but living in London it's important for me to get a good hotel to stay in when needed in Wigan. The Mercure ticks most of the boxes. Rates are very good when booked in advance, service in Lancashire warm, rooms are comfortable (beds can be huge), breakfast plentiful and location very good... More

The entrance to the hotel and car park is from a side road at the back, rather then from the main road at the front. I only stayed one night.

There is a free car park at the hotel, free wifi for 24hours and a bar and restaurant. At £85 the hotel wasn't cheap but the rooms were clean and modern, the shower powerful and overall it... More

Our room was quiet, light and spacious, with flat screen TV, big comfy beds and large bathroom. Only slight drawback was the high sided bath,... More

stayed here for 2 nights on an all inclusive offer. What value!!!!! Food was good, alcohol included as stipulated, quantity not restricted. Staff superb. So very helpful, courteous and polite, and smart. Gave us good advice on travel as we didn't want to use the car. Would recommend highly.

My husband and I stayed here for nine nights when we went over for a family wedding (the reception was held here too). We really enjoyed our time here, the staff were friendly and helpful, we were up some weird times with jetlag but we were always able to get more milk or coffee from reception. The rooms were clean... More
