Mercure Altrincham Bowdon Hotel Ringway, Ringway

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were spacious enough, they were very cold, and I had to sleep with coats on the bed. The staff did provide a blanket when we asked, but the upgraded room hardly felt any different from the standard one my family was staying in.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were quiet, but noise from the boiler room disturbed our sleep. More plug sockets would have been convenient. The service was professional, although some maintenance issues affected my overall experience. The location was nice but not as described, with good parking. The dining quality did not match the high price. Overall, the facilities were adequate but could be improved.

The hotel rooms were old and tired, lacking heating in the bathroom which made it inconvenient for bathing our baby. There was significant noise disturbance from other guests both in the corridors and from rooms above, and our room had no lock which was a security concern. On a positive note, the service was excellent, with friendly and very helpful staff going the extra mile to accommodate our needs. However, the location had some drawbacks, requiring a confusing route to access certain areas and having cleanliness issues in the pool and jacuzzi. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering hot, well-cooked food but with room for improvement in variety. Overall, the facilities were lacking to ensure a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and warm, equipped with a Nespresso machine and a super comfy king-size bed, although the decor felt somewhat dated. The service was attentive and helpful, but there was an issue with loud music. The location was convenient for local pubs and restaurants, although it fell short of expectations in terms of being described as a village. The dining was enjoyable but not without faults, notably with breakfast not being available as advertised. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel has a great central location with convenient access to the city center. The rooms, though clean, are smaller than expected. The service is outstanding with a friendly and helpful team. The dining experience could be improved, especially in terms of variety and pricing. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in Altrincham.
