Not what I expected at all, in a bad way
Pros:

The breakfast was ok as was location to city centre

Cons:

Marks in bed sheet in arrival, dust on cupboard and debris under the bed. There was only handwashing in the bathroom to use in the shower which was grubby, the tap flow on the sink was just a trickle as well. All in all room was bad, could r have stayed more than one night. The lock on door didn’t seem to work and where looked like it had a chain this was also removed and not present

Pros:

The room is very clean and the bed is really soft. I have a conference at the University of Manchester, and it's just a couple of block walk. Overall, worth staying.

Cons:

I think 2 pm check in is a bit late.

Pros:

The location is very convenient, especially for the price. The staff were all really nice.

Cons:

Nothing major. The hotel could do with a few repairs and decorating here and there, as it felt neglected in places. No plug sockets near the bed, and my TV remote hardly worked. Nothing too serious, especially for the price.

Alright

Great location for what I was there for

Will return to Ibis again next year, at least there rooms aren't falling apart
Pros:

Bed was comfortable and good water pressure in the shower

Cons:

The cleanliness and facilities in the room

The flush of the toilet fell off immediately, I went to make a cup of tea and the lid fell off, I am not a smoker but found filters lying around the room, there was also dust on the shelf

The price versus what you get was definitely off

There are much better choices in the area. I wouldn't stay here again
