Lovely staff, tired hotel.
Pros:

The staff are lovely, very friendly and welcoming

It is quite tired - there was a damp smell in one of the corridors and it generally feels like it needs a refresh.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Had a booking. Was called during the day by the staff asking what time I was arriving. Advised them 9.30pm. They asked if I was there for the football, I wasn't. On my way to the hotel circa 9pm I get another call saying your booking has been cancelled and the only other they could put me up in was in Wigan!! Knowing full well they had occupancy in Manchester. I had signed up to IHG and was promised I would get perks and a guarantee of the room. For them to call me at 9pm on the day of arrival is disgusting service. Leaving me stranded at night and unable to find a hotel!!!
