Tollgate Hotel & Leisure
A sports bar and gym alongside free parking
About this hotel
Tollgate Hotel & Leisure combines simply furnished, straightforward rooms with a sports bar, fitness centre, restaurant and free parking, a short drive from Trentham Estate. It sits at a genuinely mid-range price point but with amenities, a proper gym and sports bar among them, that punch above a standard budget stay. For a family who wants somewhere to watch a match or grab a drink in the evening after Water World, alongside free parking and free Wi-Fi throughout, this is one of the more rounded options in the city without stepping up to a full spa hotel rate. Free Wi-Fi throughout and an accessible layout round out a stay that punches above a standard budget rate on genuine amenities.

Our take
This suits a family who wants a sports bar and gym alongside free parking, without paying spa-hotel rates for it. It's not the pick if you want a pool or spa specifically, this leans toward fitness and sports viewing rather than wellness amenities. The sports bar and gym on site are genuine extras over a standard budget stay, without pushing the rate up to spa-hotel levels.
- ✓Check the sports bar's match schedule if catching a game in the evening is part of your plan.
- ✓Use the on-site gym if a parent wants a workout in after a day spent watching kids at Water World.
- ✓Take advantage of free parking and free Wi-Fi, both included as standard here.

Why guests love itWe appreciated having somewhere to catch a match in the evening after Water World, the sports bar had a proper atmosphere without being rowdy for the kids. Free parking and Wi-Fi being included took a couple of small costs off the table, and the gym meant one of us could get a workout in while the other watched the kids wind down.
