The Broadoak

Great nights stay - lovely comfortable room - bed was a dream to sleep on. Highly recommended - would definitely stay again next time in Manchester area. Simple no fuss check in and taken up to room which is unusual for lots of hotels. Didn’t eat or drink in the bar as we had reservation elsewhere but looked nice enough.

2 day work trip. From arrival it was wrong. They told us we had only booked 1 room and not 2. This seemed to be because they had no clean rooms. We then had to wait while they placed the bar stock order. Eventually we got seen. We were taken around the rooms looking for clean ones. We ended up in a family room which had 2 rooms. This was very tired but we attempted to make do. Went for dinner, not good unfortunately. After returning to the room we started noticing more dirt, orange very stained spare pillow chucked in the wardrobe with 2 heaters and a iron. 2 ironing boards for some reason. Water stained walls. Pulled back the quilt cover and not convinced it hadn't been slept in. The mattress was just springs that bottomed out on the base. TV didn't work in the single room. Car parking limited. At this point we left and booked in somewhere else. Avoid, the advertising pictures don't seem to be the same. First time in twenty years of working away that I have had to walk out. Sad times.

We went in on a sunday evening for food. For starters I had the creamy garlic mushrooms and ciabatta, the Mushrooms were tasteless and there was a lack of creamy sauce, what I did get again was bland with no taste and chunks of garlic cloves. We did return the starters and were not charged. For mains a couple of us has cheese and onion pie , beans & chunky chips. The pie was almost quiche like with a spongy texture, the portion of beans was 2 table spoons and the chunky chips taste like they had been refried from the day before. We left without dessert. Very disappointing

Very good value for money. Staff were very nice. Checked in early. We walked down to the tram in Ashton and took the tram to the City game (25 mins). Made it very easy. Room condition was good and spacious.

Staff were excellent. Room was nice but not very clean. Cobwebs in bathroom and no mattress protector or fitted sheet on bed. Ate in restaurant and food and service was very good.

Really friendly staff, good food and beer in the pub but the room are not in the best condition anymore. Needs to be ozonated or similar to get rid of old odour!
