Expensive compared to other hotels.
Pros:

Expensive for the quality of the hotel.

Lots of noise.

There are much better hotels available in Manchester for a similar price.

Pros:

Room 601 is larger than average. Double bed was small. Unable to open windows but air con was reasonably efficient and did not keep us awake. Hotel is conveniently located, a short walk from city centre.

Breakfast was awful. Poor selection. Poor quality bacon, sausages etc all poorly cooked. One of the worst breakfasts i have had in a hotel in Europe: beaten only by travelodge at euston!

Lack of car park is a disadvantage as parking in secure locations in Manchester is very expensive

Ideal for exploring the University and City centre. The free breakfast was a bit chaotic with items and cutlery in short supply, but staff were very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Worst nights sleep I've ever had. Staff were great but threadbare stained carpets , stained furniture. Lumpy bed, and a high pitched noise from the bedroom all night. If I'd been able to stay anywhere else I would have

Convenient hotel
Pros:

The hotel is located at a convenient place with many restaurants and shops around. The room felt quite dated and could benefit from some refurbishment. The breakfast is free but the restaurant is too crowded.

Basic hotel. Expected more.
Pros:

Basic hotel, a bit dated. For 4 people the room was very small. Good central location but quite loud at night. Breakfast buffet could have more choice. I expected more from a Holiday Inn and the price we paid.

Great Location and Price
Pros:

Great hotel, great location, we were going to a gig at Gorilla..3 min walk. Car park nearby and not overly expensive (I've paid a lot more to stay and park in Manchester)...Bit of a walk if you want to go into the main shopping area.
