Pros:

Location is decent, less than 20 minutes walk to most places of interest in Manchester.
Room was decent, good facilities and clean.

Cons:

The room was boiling hot in the bedroom piazza.
Really difficult to sleep because of this.
All radiators in the room were switched off but I ended up sleeping on the sofa downstairs with the window open as it was too hot to sleep upstairs in the bed.

Definitely recommend as a place to stay with car parking
Pros:

Great location right next to the tattoo studio we were working at, parking prices was reasonable compared to the other car parks and the staff were super nice

Cons:

If I had to be super picky the room could use some new pillows and the bathroom a little TLC but the stay was great

Not worth the price
Pros:

The staff were reasonable

Cons:

The only place clean was the bathroom, but I had a bath, and the plug was broken so it wouldn't empty. I stayed two nights, but the room wasn't cleaned, so there was no refill of drinks or fresh towels. For the price of over £250 , which didn't include breakfast, I was stunned they didn't service the room. Not value for money at all.

Friendly staff, clean rooms but bathrooms could do with a door
Pros:

The staff were friendly, there was a bath in the room, the rooms were clean, there was a tv.

Cons:

The plug for the bath was broken, the only coffee they provided in the rooms were decaf, there was no door for the bathroom, the bed was small and uncomfortable and I was not aware you had to pay £14.50 to park your car.
