A hotel in Rivington named the worst motorway hotel in the country, according to new research.
Car maintainance brand Prestone analysed 90 motorway service hotels across the UK, using review data from TripAdvisor, Google and the hotels' own sites to provide average scores for each.
They also considered important factors such as cleanliness, staff, room decor and noise caused by traffic.
Rivington Lodge at Rivington services on the M61 scored a 2.8 out of five - the lowest out of all the hotels in the study.
One reviewer said of Rivington Lodge: “The guy at the counter was very rude and cold.
"He started saying there’s no record of me having booked.
"Me and my wife couldn’t sleep because people were coming into the building all night long in 10 minute intervals, slamming the heavy doors.”
By contrast, fellow North West establishment The Westmorland Hotel at Tebay services on the M6 has been named the best motorway hotel in the UK, with a score of 4.6.
