What a disappointment it turned out to be.

Starters arrived and although not the best in the world were edible. 7 of the 8 mains arrived and people were waiting for the 8th before tucking in. However after 5 minutes or so, we had to chase the waiter for the outstanding meal. This arrived after a few more minutes on a stone cold plate with no apology whatsoever.

Terrible experience but never again.

Waited an hour for food with no apology. Kids pasta was cold. Ordered J20 which didn’t taste nice and was then told “their own version”. Children’s chicken and chips had 3 tiniest pieces of chicken I’ve ever seen. Staff were off hand and unprofessional. Ordered fish and chips. Fish like rubber, very dry and chips also dry. Children ordered fruit salad which was inedible and had to be returned. Again no apologies staff unprofessional.

Not a good experience

We ordered two meals. Scampi and chips and Hunters chicken with chips. After 20 minutes we were told they had no Scampi and was offered Fish goujons but in batter not breadcrumbs. Why tell us after 20 minutes ? And not after we had ordered. Surely the chef should know what he has in . Another 25 minutes of waiting, the food arrived . Only to have some Scampi on it and some fish goujons. Over cooked. Fries not chips. The Hunters chicken had way too much cheese on top.

Disappointing evening meal

We had a good welcome into the pub and the waitress was very nice and informative . The starters were very nice but when it came to the main course it was a big disappointment. The fillet steak was tasteless, the potatoes par cooked and the duck was tough and raw. While we there the couple next to us sent a steak back also.

Thwaites hotels are awful.

I booked two rooms to treat my Mum to a night away. We had our rooms beside each other & upon entrance of the room I was instantly disappointed. The decor & furnishings are so tired & dated, the walls had marks all over them in various places, the bathroom shower tiles are in serious need of new grouting & the marble sink is discolored & stained, not what I expect to see when paying for a 4 * hotel! The bar service is a joke, waiting half an hour for our drinks to be brought over to us.

This spa is not worth 1 star!

After being told my party of 7 could turn up Sunday and use their pay as you gym spa pass and then have afternoon tea without needing payment. So we were all set rang today to book a treatment to now be told we are unable to go as they didn’t book it in. I managed to get a call back from the so called manager who more or less told me we were not told that and he could not accommodate us so bang goes my birthday treat as now too late to book anywhere else.

Oh dear oh dear

Made a telephone booking for four adults one baby for sat evening made them aware re allergies etc I was told no problem I asked for a quiet table with room for a pram again no problem the table was booked for 8pm a little later I recieved a phone call from the staff making me aware that the kitchen closes at 8pm which in my experience is unheard of they also informed me that a disco was starting at 8 30 pm (coincidence?) In other words it was pointless us going really.

Overpriced, badly managed and bad service

The fact that its a spa hotel yet we couldn't use the Spa. Priority was given to locals and ppl who booked outside of booking.com. Feel cheated out of that given its a spa hotel and that's why we paid the overpriced rate yo go there. Also the service was bad and the food was bad. Took 40 minutes for breakfast to arrive and when it did it was presented by a young gentlemen who was covered in what patches. Poor guy, but not an appetising sight.

I left Aztec Hotel at 11pm bed was too uncomfortable

Room wasn’t ready on arrival bed wasn’t made up until 5pm! The extra bed was given a single quilt inadequate for a double bed. Room was too small even though I had spoke to property twice about number of guests. Bed was uncomfortable and dangerous has sharp metal down the side. Really bad for children staying in the room.

A disappointing night away from home.

When I arrived the reception staff were abrupt and unwelcoming. The room was adequate although the pillows were awful. For a room costing over £200 I would say it was barely worth a quarter of that. I will not be returning. Oh and the advertised bath products were tiny. Don’t try to order a la carte at breakfast as you can’t. What you can do is order the fixed options without various of the things!!!!

Food hygiene is a joke.

There were other, potentially serious, problems. Firstly the stale milk, both in my room and at breakfast. This was totally unacceptable, as everyone knows about food hygiene standards nowadays. If that wasn’t enough, the room was on the cramped side, my egg’s benedict has no butter and the waitresses forgot my orange juice. Oh and I had to ask for the complimentary coffee to be placed in my room(with food). How can you charge £180/night for a room and not even provide the free drinks?

Not a good stay at Cottons in Knutsford

Room grubby and dirty, no room service for the 2 days!!! OTHER THAN A PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO MAKE UP THE BEDS, SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED. There were a number of functions on at the hotel, and security were called on a number of occasions due to bedrooms near us at 2am to 4am having some sort of drunken parties, disgraceful. After complaining about no room service and having no sleep, we were offered a discount of £4 that was the biggest insult.

Disappointing.

The single room was dreadful. No chair to sit on. No shelving in bathroom to put toiletries on and the shower smelt of cat pee. Not a pleasant room to be in . Certainly not four star. It smelt awful, staff put bleach down the shower drain. Smell came straight back. Better rooms in a Premier Inn. Breakfast let down by having to wait too long fir your breakfast to come when ordered.

Would not recommend to anyone!

Booked a family meal for my sons birthday yesterday, what a disappointment. Some of the choices that our family ordered had run out, bearing in mind it was only 4.30pm, then some of the meals were under cooked. Next was the sweet course, no chocolate ice cream, someone ordered the lemon sorbet cheese cake and guess what no lemon sorbet left also they had run out of baileys for our coffee. It was a very disappointing evening and would never go again.

Thats our first last time we will come here.

We visited as a family and we were not impressed. The layout is not accommodating nor warm, the food was not great. I personally ordered the Haloumi starter which lacked flavour and texture and for mains I ordered the chicken and ham pie which tasted odd and had perfectly squared chicken pieces in a white sauce with chunky pieces of bacon; similar to that you get a KG of for a few quid along with a mass produced pastry lid.

Aztec Hotel really bad.

Since the truth is that I am not happy with the hotel, I never find anyone at the reception and even if I call, they do not pick up the phone, yesterday I went to the bar with my card credit card and they told me that they couldn't give me anything because the card was not registered in the room, which doesn't make sense because it's a bar open to the public and I was paying with my card, not putting the money in the room account.
