Pros:

We stayed here because it is a 2 min walk to the Lowry. The metro brought us straight to the hotel from Manchester Picadilly, just 1 min walk. The reception and bar staff were very friendly. The breakfast was good value for the cost and the breakfast staff were exceptional. The bedroom was extremely clean and tidy and the beds were comfy.

Pros:

Check in was at 2pm but there were no rooms available. We checked in during the evening and the room was basic. The toilet seat was broken and the room was tired looking.

We ate in the restaurant at 8.30pm and I asked for a vodka and Diet Coke and was given a Diet Coke. I asked again for a vodka and was told that it was in the glass but it didn’t seem so as it was only a single. There was actually no liquid in the glass, only ice. The waitress took the bottle of Coke and the glass away and came back with the Diet Coke in the glass and said it had vodka in it . I couldn’t taste any.

The meal was very average. My husband had a ribeye steak which was gristly. I had a Malaysian curry which tasted like a microwave meal. We would not eat here again.

Quays stay
Pros:

Location excellent in media city and adjacent to multi story ( don’t park outside hotel). Room was large and airy and breakfast was excellent. Staff all amazingly friendly and helpful.
I’ve noticed a big change in holiday inn over past few years but this is by far the best I’ve used. Thank you.

Great Location!
Pros:

The staff was welcoming from the front desk to the restaurant. Rooms were clean and spacious. Location was great for us! We stayed to check out Coronation Street and it was a quick walk over to the studio and to pubs and restaurants where we had a pint with a couple of Corrie stars!

Very standard
Pros:

Clearly set up for business travel with a huge desk taking pride of place in the room. The area is not very busy at the weekend. Couldn't make us a cup of tea in the evening at the bar.

Pros:

Excellent front desk staff. We were early for check in and had to wait for the room and they ended up giving us a larger room. A mini fridge in the room would have been a nice addition.

Great Hotel, in a great place
Pros:

As always our stay was brilliant. This is now the 4th time I have stayed at this hotel. The only thing I would like to see and this is a personal choice is a few more bread options for breakfast, like bagels for example (even more so when there is a big sporting event like the marathon weekend or half marathon weekend).

Apart from that, everything was spot on as always.
