Village Hotel & Leisure

Feels like an inn but with a corporate vibe.
Well kept property all around: landscaping, conference center and my upperdeck guest room. The on-​site Starbucks franchise can only be seen as a good thing. The pool features prominently in the hotel’s atrium.
The pub/​bar served up some respectable burgers (the «American» features peanut butter). Cheeky barkeep saw to it that my visit would start with a few laughs. Yes, do pair the seasoned fries with the buffalo-​style chili sauce — ye shall be rewarded.
Reception was kind enough to call me a cab headed for the Creamfields festival grounds. The ride, metered or fixed, to and fro, usually falls with £15.
Walk to/​from Warrington Bank Quay is a 10 minute trek but not recommended without Google Maps.
Good stay all around. Might just return in 2016.

Never stayed at their hotel, but the fitness club is good and used by local businessmen, and the restaurant and especially bar are absolutely wonderful. Preferred by the folk from Warrington Business Park ;-)

only stayed here once and the food in the restaurant was nice, came quickly, good quality, great value. the football was on manchester united against manchester city so the atmosphere was great. loved the new rooms and the new pool nothing to complain about at all. i have no complaints so it has to be a ⁵⁄₅

My review is based on having a group meal here a while back.
We were not impressed that quite a few things on the menu where brought to us wrong or had been altered and we had not been warned. It normally wouldn’t bother us, but it was my sisters after wedding meal (small ‘Do’) and being brought chips as a side order didn’t go down well.
The staff were not very helpful when asked about problems.
I haven’t been since so it may have got a lot better.

We upgraded our room for a tiny fee and got a massive modern room (about 2.5 the size of a regular hotel room) with it’s own sitting room, flat-​screen TV, iPod dock/​speakers, walk-​in shower and a bath. Wi-​Fi access was brilliant in the room too, fast enough for iPlayer access.
The design is modern and clean throughout the hotel. We had breakfast and evening meals during our stay and the food was both great value, generous in portion size and tasty. Both the steak and chicken meals were fantastic.
The gym was state of the art and massive. The pool was great too; big enough for a proper swim. Squash courts and excercise classes also available. All of these were free for residents of the hotel; which could pay for your stay in it’s-self.
We have never used the «village» chain before, but loved our stay here, we will use them again.
Our only negative comments were as follows:
Breakfast on weekdays felt rushed and a bit of a second-​class service compared to the weekend.
Massive waiting times for food on Sunday night due to their popular Sunday lunches. Make sure you eat well after 8pm.
Some of the décor is just starting to look a little tired.
They have noisy food vending machines on each floor that will wake you up each time someone gets the munchies late at night.
Everyones room door was spring loaded so tightly that it was very hard to stop it from violently slamming shut. This became a real pain during the night as people returned to their rooms late.
Despite the above niggles it’s still an amazing place and we loved our stay.

Nice, modern, stylish hotel in
Warrington (home of Kerry Katona — what more of a compliment can this place have!!!).
The rooms are spacious with plasma screen tv’s and ipod docks as standard. The swimming pool is massive and there are other good facilities such as a gym, sauna, steam room and a good sized bar (very lively for a hotel bar if there are Liverpool or Man U games on).

Ive stayed in this hotel 3 times now and only once has been good if you forget about the fact i was given a dirty room first before i was swapped! The first and last times were a nightmare because i was on the 2^nd and 1^st floor above the squash courts, there is absolutly no chance of any sleep until people stop using them. The first time was until 11pm then they started again at 5am, the sound is like somone banging on the pipes constantly i was with a party all in different rooms and we all requested to be moved but the hotel was full. The resturant was nice and breakfast in the morning was lovely the staff are brilliant very polite and go out of their way to help even finding a phone charger. there was an iron, board, and hair dryer in each room. I couldnt get the internet on my laptop but reception said it was working. House keeping was good and the room looked like new each day. Parking is good and there is a bus that comes on the site every 10 minuetes to go into town and only costs 20p! But you can walk into town and theres lots of shops and entertainment around. Even with the bad experiances i would stay again because the facilities and prices are excellent. and i would recomend it.

The swimming pool here has recently had a facelift which was urgently needed so thats good. The leisure club is great value but their crèche facilities are off and on. The hotel itself is lovely and last year had a refurb which has left it very very modern and I think some people have been put off but I quite like it. The bar upstairs is just like a nice pub, and you can sit outside in the summer. The food is hit and miss — especially in the restaurant, but overall its lovely. The beautician bit is very good value and the girls in there are very helpful and happy.
