A very stylish and comfortable place to stay close to Central Manchester. Would Highly recommend.
Pros:

Very nice Hotel, with spacious comfortable rooms. Only about 10 minute walk into the main shopping area. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. The only negative I have is the Restaurant staff were somewhat inattentive and I had to wait a very long time between my starter and my main course having to go seek the waiters to find out what was happening , which detracted very much from my experience, also I felt it was rather bad form having to pay a 10 pound deposit to book into the restaurant when I was a guest at the hotel. I’m still not sure if I received the 10 pound deducted from my bill given the complicated way in which bills are laid out.

Cons:

Did not like the system with the mini bar and the snacks whereby if you remove an item it is automatically charged. I accidentally picked up four items from the snack bar to examine them before I realized this was the case. But I informed the staff what had happened and I did not get charged. A normal mini bar fridge in the room would be better and then you could put some items of your own in the fridge without incurring a charge for removing items that are payable..

Pros:

Everything about our stay was brilliant from pulling up outside to leaving.
The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

The room was amazing so spacious and had everything you'd need to enjoy your stay.

The breakfast again was spot on plenty of options and again staff were very helpful and assertive

Not very happy
Pros:

Close proximity to the city

Cons:

They charged us a deposit of £50 per night for the 4 nights, which was way too expensive compared to what’s in the fridge. By the who wanted the bar fridge anyway. It’s not reasonable

Excellent, met every expectation
Pros:

Had a fantastic greeting from Joseph on the door who went the extra mile to make our stay extra special especially as we were there for my partners birthday. He had a card and chocolates sent to the room which was a lovely touch. Joseph gave us the 5 star experience, he’s a credit to your hotel.

Good but could be improved with little attention
Pros:

Comfortable bed, spacious room, friendly staff.

Cons:

Would have liked more fresh fruit options at breakfast - and salt & pepper! Sink in the room slow to drain and coffee machine didn't work.
