No towels, toilet roll, very strong smell of weed, carpets disgusting. Party going on until 6.30 in the morning on the second night. Would not go back there if they paid me. ##### STUART Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alex Sep 5, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Horrible hotel, absolute filth! Daylight robbery! The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I travel up and down the country for football, have stayed in many hotels, good, bad average, but this is by far the worst yet. The reception room/bar area was a disgrace, rubbish everywhere, food all over the floor, just a dumping ground with a leaking ceiling. That’s where we had to leave our bags as our rooms weren’t ready. After the football match we went back to check in. The rooms were nothing like advertised, not looked after, funny smell and not clean. No remotes for the tv in any room, no towels in any room, no hot water in 1 of our 3 rooms. 1 room had no toilet roll! Complete waste of money, ruined our trip, wouldn’t recommend it to nobody, not even a Bolton fan! I will be getting in touch with hotels.com to complain. Fair play to the fella behind the bar at the Philly sports bar who was shaking his head in disgust when we told him where we were staying. If only we’d known before booking. Hopefully this review can save others the disappointment we witnessed on Saturday. ##### Alex Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities David and his team were fantastic hosts will definitely be back ##### Steven Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise Jul 28, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff couldn’t have been any nicer.

Urmmm... quite alor wrong here . Its difficult to describe quite how terrible it was. £45 a night is too much fot his hotel unfortunately. I have stayed in 3rd world countries accommodation where you slept on the floor with a bucket for the toilet and that was better than this hotel. The building has massive potencial but sadly isnt being utalized. I can only warn you not to book here unless you are complelt desperate.if you dont smoke but love ypur roo Smelling of it then this is the place for you! One thing i can say is that the people who 'worked' there were very friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avoid at all costs Stay clear ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary Oct 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were friendly. ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Sep 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Hotel with a lovely warm welcome. The manager was excellent & couldn’t be more helpful. The family room suite was perfect for our family of 5 & had everything we needed. The decor in the kids room was ace & very modern in the parents room. The kids even got a hamper full of yummy goodies which made our day & was a lovely surprise. Breakfast was amazing & set us up for the day nicely. Location was great for the tower, shopping centre & promenade attractions. Fantastic place with fantastic staff! Thank you for a great stay. We’ll definitely be staying again. ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth Sep 12, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Helpful staff. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen Sep 5, 2022 Disliked: Room comfort Friendly people very basic but clean, parking is a nightmare it’s outside the hotel on a public road took me ages too source a parking space ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarbir Sep 1, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort It was good room was clean overall only toilet door had no lock ##### Sarbir Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patrick Aug 8, 2022 #### Personal view Overal it's ok but I expected better. Staff friendly, reception on arrival was disappointing as it looks very untidy and everything is all over the place. I requested for ground or first floor but was offered the last floor which is third floor. The beds are fragile and squeaky. They very fragile. The apartment containing 3 single beds have no wardrobe,cupboard, table or chair to sit on. Bathroom has a shaking toilet bowl and shower leaks out on the floor with nothing to clean it up. Heater is central as such cannot be regulated from inside the room. I have to specifically request for a small fan heater as my daughter is asthmatic. As i said the staff are friendly. ##### Patrick Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Mohd Syafawi Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice hotel ##### Mohd Syafawi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### A May 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not the beds Triple room booked with parking Owner phoned me 10.40pm wanting payment Even tho it clearly states pay at hotel On arrival no triple room So a mattress was put on floor ##### A Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Oct 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Happy Nice family run hotel was happy with my stay Brilliant location Room was clean and tidy ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### james Oct 5, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Never seen so much artex in my life! ##### james Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### richard Sep 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Typical B&B Nice landlady , only needed a bed n shower so it was fine .

There wasn’t any , do not book the Shores it’s really really really crap ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2021 A bit disappointed when we booked through the site it said pay on arrival which we choice but 2 days later they took the funds out of the bank. While property is clean and not dirty but looking a bit tired and dated with artex on walls and ceiling, we had room 12 which was classed as a twin room I think it should have been a single room which would have been nicer and gave a bit room but for 2 adults a bit small. There not a chair in the room only the beds to sit on. The bathroom sink was to low and to get your head over the sink was difficult due to the shelve above, toilet roll hold like you find in public toilets but it would not work so took it out to use we were told that this was the worse room why did we book it, we did not have choice that was we were given when we arrived. The accommodation is nice and central to most so did a lot of walking. Breakfast may have been good but £8.00 person on top of the room rate no thank you. No extra top up on coffee or milks on a daily basis these were charged out at £1.00 we did enjoy our stay but nothing really to say other than it was ok and for what we paid was expensive fo the room we had. Would go back again purely for the location ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Baileys-Hotel-London.h523223.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Horseguards, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-Horseguards.h25926.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Copthorne-Tara-Hotel-London-Kensington.h26145.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Ritz-London.h28146.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h54995.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Riverbank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-London-Riverbank.h1183908.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza County Hall London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-County-Hall-London.h1742184.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminal 2 and 3](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-London-Heathrow-Terminal-2-And-3.h33088275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Savoy](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Savoy.h27158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Charing Cross](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h5169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clermont London, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Clermont-London.h10939.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Westminster-Bridge-London.h3113039.Hotel-Information) > > [The May Fair, A Radisson Collection Hotel, Mayfair London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-May-Fair.h7606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Westminster-London.h914179.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landmark London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Landmark-London.h438653.Hotel-Information) > > [Strand Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Strand-Palace-Hotel.h179.Hotel-Information) > > [St Martins Lane London, a Morgans Originals hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Martins-Lane-London.h470865.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sofitel-London-Heathrow.h1740977.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal National Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Royal-National-Hotel.h55001.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London - Kensington High St. by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Kensington-High-St.h9789.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Victoria London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Victoria-London.h801796.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Containers London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sea-Containers-London.h8466215.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-CitizenM-Tower-Of-London.h14736047.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Langham.h22099.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitzroy-London.h21514.Hotel-Information)
