I have stayed at this hotel a number of times before and during the Covid situation…read more Generally the hotel is nice clean and friendly. However during the pandemic the use of face shields and face masks By the staff seems quite random. Some wear face masks on the chin, somewhere facemasks on the cover in the mouth not the nose, someone just wear a face shields and a mask and some don't either. Not only putting themselves at risk but their customers.

Good Express By Holiday Inn. Slightly weird location, down a residential road just off the M65…read more Easy to find, though. Just beware of the rather nasty speed bumps on the road from the roundabout to the hotel. This isn't the latest HIE decor, but it feels very fresh and clean throughout the hotel. The breakfast is the usual HIE fare, continental with hot sausages and beans. Not sure why previous reviewers have complained about the breakfast, as it is the same breakfast which is served in every HIE in the UK. A very fine place for a one night stay over.

Burnley Travelodge I…read moreused to stay in this hotel regularly when I work night shifts. In 25 January I left my bags in the hotel room and went to work. Next day I noted that my bags were missing from the room. The safety cord in the window was broken. The police was informed. I was told that CCTV cameras at the front of the hotel facing the road/car park was not working. I was told only my room was broken in to. Obviously the thieves knew that I was going to work at night, they knew the exact room I was staying as other rooms were not broken into and they knew the CCTV cameras were not working. I have concerns about the safety of guests staying in this hotel. I complained to Travelodge and and I received a response saying they took my comments seriously and district manager investigated my concerns and no evidence to suggest that an employee of Travelodge was involved. However they didn't comment on my concern how did the thief/thieves know the exact room I was staying (as other rooms were not broken in to), my working times and the CCTV cameras were not working.

The Talbot is another of Burnley's pubs with a reputation for fine live music. There's nearly…read morealways a band playing on a Friday and Saturday night and they attract some good local bands and artists. It's not located in the town centre, but it's only a couple of minute's walk away and this does mean you're less likely to find drunken louts and fights breaking out. The pub is a bit old and tired inside but they have a nice open fire at this time of year and there's plenty of seating. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is nice for a chilled night out for a few drinks, especially if you appreciate decent live music.
