Holiday Inn Express - Wigan by IHG

Large open car park, outdoor drinking area. Restaurant based at the front of the property and lots of space. The bar is opened until midnight. However. We took a bottle of fizz to our room, upon frequent cigarette breaks in the easy access smoking area out the front my partner was able to collect fresh ice on their way back to ensure every drink I had was chilled. Bar staff did this absolutely free. Also, our child wanted a sweet from the £1 machine, cash back couldn’t be provided and we did not have cash, a male bar man handed us a £1 coin which we did not expect. This was our first visit to the area and we will definitely be using this hotel each time we travel to the area.

Breakfast was great. They have good options for hot food. If you don’t eat pork ask for the vegan sausages. Unfortunately I didn’t see the sign so I didn’t have the vegan sausages. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I will definitely stay there again.

We always ask for a specific room as its ground floor and not far to walk for my wife who has a spine condition. Also has plenty of room to work. breakfast plenty of choice for an Express and they seve great coffee. Evening meals have certainly got better also. Breakfast staff in particular very friendly and helpful and always have a smile.

We booked this as a 'budget' hotel for a 1 night work stay, but it far exceeded our expectations. Amazing value for money as our room was spacious, immaculate and had lovely large windows letting plenty of daylight in. We had space for working on a comfy sofa that is also a bed, and a little table desk. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't fault anything about our experience there. Thank you.

All Staff were excellent. Clean & Comfortable Room. Good Breakfast. Check in was quick & easy, though when I hear 'your room is on the first floor' that usually means upstairs.
