Hôtel moderne parfait pour découvrir Manchester
Pros:

Parfait comme hôtel, rien à dire! Chambre moderne et ultra confortable. L'arrêt de tram qui permet d'arriver en 8 minutes au centre ville est à 100m. Petit déjeuner excellent!

Cons:

Rien à dire.

Pros:

I really liked that you can get tea and proper coffee 24/7 from the machines in the restaurant area and that they provide a bed and bowls for food and water if you're staying with a pet.

Cons:

Not many gluten free options on the menu in the restaurant

Single duvets, life changer.
Pros:

The staff were friendly, hotel was nicely decorated, the room was clean, the bed was comfy. I thought the 2 single quilts were weird to begin with but after the sleep I had I'm now thinking I should get 2 singles for my bed at home. The air-conditioning was a great addition as it was a hot night.

Cons:

The few things I didnt like was the scrambled eggs that you could have with your breakfast. They were awful, like inedible awful. They were dry, but it was the texture of them that got me. Also the hot chocolate wasnt good either.
A plug socket is needed for the mirror area in the room. I had to blindly straighten my hair.
Otherwise no complaints.

Over-harped!
Pros:

The place can just barely be classed as holiday Express

Cons:

The place is choked up. And bed is just a standard double bed.

There isn't any tea making facility in the room, talk less of a fridge!! You have to walk '10 miles'! to make tea at 11.00pm at night! Travelodge is much better.
It has been wrongly classified as Holiday Inn.
