Brilliant staff. Excellent service.
Staff so helpful and welcoming. Nothing too much trouble. Opened the door when they saw us arriving with luggage and made us really welcome. We ate in the restaurant and the service was the best we have experienced in a long time.

3 star, just about good enough for a layover
3 star hotel pool is a communal leisure pool, paid 150£ for a relaxing time with my partner for his birthday. Wasn't worth it for that price. Very loud we also had a ground floor room, walls extremely thin. Wasn't comfortable, uncomfortable bed so i checked after 2hrs and left for another hotel.

Great if you like to swim, otherwise, just OK
Very mediocre. The best thing is the use of the pool and gym.
Otherwise the room is extremely basic. OK size but nowhere to put anything or even a rack for the suitcase. Ended up sharing the bed with my suitcase :(

Waterside stay
The bed was quite small which made it not overly comfortable and a poor nights sleep. We had a small double room for 2 adults, but we thought the bed would have still been a decent size. The room itself was small as expected and would probably have been better without the chunky cupboard. The shower head was not suitable for the bathroom, as it was too big for the shower space and made it difficult to use the shower without getting the dry floor wet and without getting your hair wet (as my wife didn’t want to get her hair wet). The hydrotherapy pool was nice and staff were friendly. The breakfast was nice although we did wait for 20 minutes for poached eggs after requesting them. The check in area was a bit confused and we waited longer than expected as we didn’t know where to stand for hotel check in and check out compared to the leisure complex guests. The location is good for access to East Didsbury Park and Ride for Metrolink access to central Manchester. The bar area was shut in the hotel at 11pm so we didn’t get a drink later on the nights stay which was a shame (we were told it should have been open until 1am). In terms of whether we would stay again, potentially not, due to the poor nights sleep, unless the hotel could persuade us otherwise.
