Perfect staycation for central Manchester
Pros:

The hotel receptionists Brianna and Ethan were brilliant. They looked after us so well and couldnt do enough to help. They were so warm and welcoming, and nothing was to much trouble.
The room was lovely. Basic but very clean and tidy. Perfect for a central Manchester stay near the Cathedral. We will be back 100%
The hotel management should be very proud of their team. Thank you for a lovely stay

Cons:

Nothing

Globalement, une grande déception.
Pros:

Uniquement l’emplacement

Cons:

Nous avons séjourné 4 jours et 3 nuits dans cet hôtel et l’expérience n’a malheureusement pas été à la hauteur d’un 4 étoiles. Dès notre arrivée, l’accueil a été froid et peu professionnel. L’hôtesse à la réception ne nous a adressé aucune formule de politesse et s’est contentée d’un « c’est à 15h », sans nous donner d’informations sur les services de l’hôtel, notamment les horaires du petit déjeuner.En cherchant une boucle d’oreille tombée sous le lit, nous avons découvert un sous-vêtement usagé laissé par un précédent client. Le problème a été réglé rapidement, mais cela reste inacceptable en termes de propreté.Concernant le petit déjeuner, il nous a été indiqué que nous pourrions régler plus tard au check-out. Pourtant, le montant a été débité directement sur mon compte deux jours plus tard, sans information préalable, alors que nous étions plusieurs à partager les frais. Enfin, durant tout le séjour, aucun ménage n’a été effectué : ni changement de serviettes ni vidage des poubelles.
