What is your hotel budget and would you consider a commute from Manchester/Liverpool? Both cities are far better places to stay and have a decent amount of budget and expensive restaurants.

[courtg9000]

£60-£70 a night for hotels if I can get away with it and yes I would consider a commute!

Radisson or Malmaison in Liverpool, Warrington and it's hotels are pretty cack.

I have stayed at The Park Royal numerous times on business and found it to be excellent.

Village Hotel Warrington isn't bad. Nice gym, pool etc. But to be honest Stockton Heath is a nicer place for evening's entertainment

For that budget you can get plenty of places to stay in either city. If you just want something basic but close to bars/restaurants and stuff then book in to a travelodge/holiday inn in the middle fo the city. They normally do a decent discount if you book for a prolonged period.

As far as places to eat goes you will be spoilt for choice.

Warrington is fairly easy to get to on the train from either city centre and I would suggest using public transport if you can get away with it as parking in either city is going to cost quite a bit of cash.

I've put people in there a couple of times and they've said it was fine. Has a pool etc. Seemed a busy place when I dropped them off. There's a nice pub with good food too along the road in Appleton Thorn.

It might be a bit out the way for other parts of Warrington depending on where your business lies.

I thought Ellesmere Port was the ahole of Cheshire?

Worked in Warrington for a while, and stayed in the Palace Hotel in Manchester, near the station to Warrington. Much much better than the times I stayed in Warrington itself, and a very nice breakfast. Exec rooms are huge and well furnished.

Really depends where in Warrington you are going to be working. TBH though, do you really want the hassle of commuting every day from liverpool/manchester to Warrington just to get a slightly better hotel ?? The trains will be cancelled and if you drive down the M62 you are going to get stuck in traffic.

Best bet would be try and stay on the Stockton Heath/Appleton side if you have the choice as there are a few nice bars restaurant over there as opposed to the town centre which is fking ste.

Chicken!

I just looked up the TripAdvisor reviews for the Lord Daresbury and OK, I know it's TripAdvisor but blimey, they don't half swing from one extreme to the other.

Park Royal is their no 1 hotel in Warrington!

So you recommended an airport hotel instead?

The exclamation mark after Warrington was an ironic one. If you've got to catch an STD then you might as well get the best one.
