Overall a nice hotel and good value for money.
Bigger TVs and a few more pieces of furniture/decorative items in the rooms would boost this up.

Excellent price & location with a few minor issues
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially on reception
The price was superb and a brilliant location to all of Manchester
The room was relatively clean but unfortunately there were 1 or 2 issues there was a discarded tissue by the desk covered in red lipstick and crumpled rubbish too, also a black curly hair on the tiles in the wc
The blind was defective and wouldn’t close so not very private
The tv wouldn’t turn off either via the remote
Internet was excellent & the location and price was excellent
The car park was handy and had plenty of spaces
The breakfast was basic and I am afraid not very tasty but the staff worked hard with what they had

Good value for money with excellent bathrooms. A few extra touches like more décor, a bit more furniture, and a larger TV would really enhance the room.

Comfortable stay and great value. The bathroom stood out – modern and well-finished. The room itself felt a little bare; a few decorative touches, some extra furniture, and a larger TV would make a big difference.
