Broadfield Park Hotel: Conflicting Information

The old version of this guide listed Broadfield Park Hotel on Sparrow Hill, OL16 1AF, phone 01706 639 000. Reports on this hotel conflict. Visit Rochdale and Tripadvisor still show the hotel with 29 rooms. Tripadvisor names the hotel Oyo Broadfield Park Hotel and shows reviews dated 2026. Reviews on Tripadvisor mention a closed restaurant in January 2025 and ongoing renovation.

Another local news report, quoted by The Manc, calls the building a disused hotel. The report says the hotel closed in 2020 and describes plans to convert the building into 31 apartments. The report did not state whether the council approved the plans.

We could not resolve this conflict. Do not book Broadfield Park Hotel until you speak to staff by phone and confirm the hotel is trading.

Where to Stay in Rochdale: How to Choose

The best hotels in Rochdale depend on how you plan to travel. Match the hotel to your trip before you compare listings.

If you want to walk to the shops and the Town Hall, look at Hampton by Hilton or The Flying Horse. Hampton by Hilton is next to the Riverside development. The Flying Horse sits on Town Hall Square.

If you drive and want free parking, look at Premier Inn Rochdale, Mercure Norton Grange, or The Royal Toby. Each lists on-site parking. Travelodge does not list parking on the Visit Rochdale page, so ask before you go.

If you want a spa or a celebration, look at Mercure Norton Grange. If you want a plain, low-cost room near the M62 services, look at the two Travelodge hotels at Birch. Always read recent guest reviews on the booking site you use, and confirm details by phone.

Motels and Budget Stays in Rochdale

Rochdale has no true roadside motels in the American sense. The nearest match is the budget chain hotel. Premier Inn Rochdale and Travelodge Rochdale are the two main budget chains in the town itself. Two more Travelodge hotels sit at the Birch services on the M62, and Comfort Inn Manchester North sits in Middleton.

Rates change daily and by season, so we do not quote them. Compare current offers for your dates on the booking sites, then call the hotel to confirm.
