I stayed here for one night recently, and was impressed with this hotel. A two minute drive to the racecourse and just off the motorway, it was easy to find and has a big carpark. Check in wasquick and easy and my room was large, clean and well decorated. It overlooked a courtyard so was very quiet and I wasn't... more

Have stayed here now on a number of occassions. Hotel now a bit shabby and in need of a spruce up. Food in restraunt very nice and I have had good room service (still hot). A bit pricey for what you get when compared to the cheaper budget chains. Worth it if you can get a cheap deal. more

My wife and I stayed 1 night at the Thistle Hotel - Haydock Park. We decided to stay there primarily for it's location just off the M6 motorway as we were driving to Liverpool the next day to watch Everton play football. The hotel grounds are fantastic. The hotel itself was really nice and well decorated. Our room was great... more

An example of each, en-suite had what I can only assume to be thick black pubic hairs in the sink, the managers response to everyhting was "What do... more

Lady on the desk was great, very friendly and chatty for such a late check in! I had a ground floor room, very spacious and a proper double bed too (unlike... more

There is some motorway noise if you keep the window open, but the rooms are large and comfortable; nothing was too much trouble for the cheerful staff and the food was really good and fresh. more

Stayed here second time on business. Impressive on arrival and good public areas - but rooms a little tired - I think I must have had an un-refurbished one. Food OK but restaurant tends to be very quiet. Many eat in the bar area. Good rates. more

As the name would suggest the hotel is well located for the races - the racecourse is a 15 minute walk down the road. Its also well placed for the motorway network and therefore Liverpool and Manchester if you are on business in the area. There's not much (well, nothing) else in the immediate area, but that doesn't pose a... more
