Categories

Cleanliness
9.3
Many guests repeatedly described rooms as very clean/spotless and 'super clean'; isolated mentions of stained carpet and an unhoovered corridor reduce a perfect score.
Service
9.4
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, helpful and welcoming; one report of an unwelcoming receptionist lowers but overall service is a consistent strength.
Location
9.2
Location is frequently called ideal/convenient for Manchester/events and benefits from an adjacent pub/beer garden; occasional noise from the pub is noted.
Room Quality
7.6
Rooms are described as comfortable with good beds and adequate size, but issues noted include rooms being extremely hot (no AC), soft/uncomfortable pillows, small TV and occasional dated elements or stained carpet.
Amenities
7.8
Good on parking, on-site restaurant/adjacent pub and breakfast facilities, but several guests complained about lack of air conditioning/fans, no glasses for water and occasional broken fans.
Value for Money
8.6
Multiple guests described breakfast and meals as good value; one guest flagged a sharp price increase for future booking, but overall perceived value is positive.
Food and Beverage
9.1
Breakfast and restaurant meals are frequently praised as plentiful, good quality and relaxing (steak cited as excellent); isolated comment about a poor breakfast reduces a perfect score.
Overall Experience
9.4
Most guests report enjoyable, relaxing stays, repeat visits and would recommend; occasional negatives (heat, minor staff issue, dated elements) temper but do not dominate overall impressions.

Just an easy weekend and surprisingly quiet even though a hen party were there.
Pros:

It was easy to locate. There were plenty of parking spaces. It was easy to find help if you needed it.

Ideal place to stay for my place of work.
Pros:

The location for the work place was excellent. Easy check in with very amicable staff. The room was clean and I especially liked the fact I had a 2 seater sofa and and arm chair as well as a chair to sit on. The shower was good and powerful with a bowed curtain to give plenty of space. The restaurant adjacent provided good wholesome food for the evening meal and breakfast.

Cons:

Can’t think of anything off hand that I didn’t like.

I received a parking ticket twice for the same day £100 each which of course I am appeling.
Pros:

The property looks nice from the outside but no drinking water facilities in the whole hotel.

Cons:

We had to go to the pub next door during opening hours to get available drinking water. The one staff I saw in reception did not speak good English and was ignorant also.
