Great location and friendly helpful staff. Room was clean and well presented with a well appointed bathroom. Perfect stopover if visiting Manchester for a night or longer. Breakfast was plentiful and although busy seats became available pretty quickly with a constant turnover of folks.

My wife stayed with my grandaughter and she was next to a room of rowdy men who must have been on a night out. They were very noisy in the hallway and in their room and woke them and kept them awake around 3-5am. Other than that stay was fine.

It was just ok
Hotel is in a convenient location, quite modern and clean. Staff were overall nice and professional although the breakfast staff were especially friendly and worked really hard. Breakfast was a zoo! So busy, not enough tables and food kept running out. The staff did their best but just couldn't cope with the demand and the small space.
Beds were also very, very soft - made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. We were also placed on the first floor, overlooking a builders yard, this meant that we were woken up by lots of noise every morning - bring ear plugs!
