About Tollgate Hotel & Leisure
The Tollgate opened its doors 34 years ago as a squash club. Today, they've become the perfect destination for a hotel stay and leisure activities.
Each room has a view of the Longton Cricket Club next door. The rooms feature TV's, telephones, and modem points for data transfer.
Guests can unwind in the snooker room or have their hair styled in the salon. But the real highlight of the Tollgate is their fitness facilities, which includes aerobics, cardiovascular machines, and a squash court.
The food at The Gate restaurant is prepared from the finest ingredients fresh from the market, and the bar boasts an excellent selection of beverages.
Located just ten minutes away from Stoke on Trent's city centre, which offers a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Discount tickets to the nearby Alton Towers can be purchased at the front desk.

Some of the rooms lack water pressure.

A covered walkway would be an improvement.
The building is motel style, where each room has its own outside entrance. A few guests complained that the walkways were uncovered, so you may get wet loading and unloading your luggage in inclement weather.
