Bolton Hotel
The room was very clean, and the staff were excellent and very friendly. The mini bar was well stocked and the prices were very reasonable. Most hotels today don’t provide a complete toilet amenities kit, so I was very impressed with the management for including this. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay ...
