On arrival in the hotel the decor was a bit tired but the receptionist was very helpful. The room was fantastic, we had an executive room which looked like it had just been refurbed and it was huge! We had a lovely meal in the hotel restaurant. We did find it quite strange however that on a Saturday night we... more

My partner and I recently stayed at Smokies Park for 2 nights whilst attending a family wedding in Saddleworth. The hotel is on a main road and very easy to find, with ample parking. On checking in we thought it was a bit quiet, but we had no idea just how deserted it actually was. There appeared to be no... more

I usually stay at the Avant in Oldham which has sadly been taken over by travelodge so this was my first alternative. Its a nice hotel the public areas are quite plush and nicely maintained. The room decor looked a little dated but it was clean (apart from the layer of dust on the wardrobe shelf!) and quite roomy and... more

Staff were friendly and helpful. We booked a bed breakfast & evening meal deal which was excellent value for money - the evening meal was particularly good. We asked for a quiet room - which we got - even though there was a dinner dance happening at the hotel we were not disturbed at all. more

We stayed at Smokies Park for two nights in February 2009. Our friends were getting married nearby and holding their reception at Smokies. We found our room to be comfortable, with a huge bed. Staff were friendly and helpful - I called Reception to ask for an iron and it arrived within minutes. The breakfast on Saturday was cooked to... more

Stayed here for one night to meet up with friends. We booked a suite; there are three on the top floor. The one assigned to us was on the front of the building and so we could hear traffic noise. There was no problem when we asked to change and found the suite we chose instead to be very comfortable,... more

Stayed here for 2 nights on business. Upgraded room was superb, with excellent views. Nice bar, friendly staff.....not sure I'd want a room in the corridor between reception and bar though. Food at breakfast and dinner in the restaurant was above average, but the service was a little slow. I have a company laptop, which has a freefone (0800) dialup... more

Good value for money, rooms are a little "tired" and in need of decoration/modernisation. Staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant and bar area very pleasant, in fact one of the best hotel restaurants I have eaten in for a long time. Room was on a noisy corridor between reception and the bar, so try to avoid that area. Great for a... more

Stayed here whilst on a business trip. The hotel itself was good; the reception area was more upmarket than I expected; bar was good and the staff were friendly. I went for a standard room (cheaper when booked via the Best Western site than when I phoned the hotel directly, and it was fine with no problems - except that... more
