Room not cleaned, no air con, uncomfortable.
Pros:

The rooms were big.

Cons:

My tv was really far from the bed and small so you literally couldn’t watch tv in bed. There was no air conditioning in the rooms so we literally boiled. Couldn’t sleep at all. My room was also very noisy with noise being made outside the property at 4.30am. The worst thing was they don’t service the rooms so didn’t clean the bathrooms or empty the bins. I was there 5 nights and my bin was overflowing. When I asked the receptionist why they don’t clean the rooms she said they clean them every 4 days but mine hadn’t been done. This is the first hotel I’ve ever stayed in which hadn’t cleaned my room in 5 days. Really awful. I wanted to be able to ring my son on the phone in his room but I asked three members of staff how the phones worked and none of them could tell me. We had breakfast the first morning but it advertises as having halal options but in fact halal was the ONlY option for sausages and bacon. I don’t understand why a hotel in Manchester only offers halal meat. The breakfast looked nothing like the photo on the posters all around the hotel. All in all a disappointing and uncomfortable stay. I am sure there are much better options if you want to stay in Manchester. The rooms were ok but the facilities and staff let it down.

The room was decent, the location too. The staff was great.

The room that was supposed to have a bath, there was just a shower, hotel was fully booked so staff were not able to provide a room with a bath. There is no AC in the rooms

Halal only breakfast
Pros:

The staff are great, the rooms are spacious and clean

Cons:

We had breakfast. Unfortunately the breakfast was Halal which we were not told about, and no other option available for the cooked breakfast I expect proper bacon and proper sausage not some fake derivatives. We have stayed here several times before, but never again.

It was fine for a night, room was comfortable but very warm.
Pros:

It was average.

Cons:

It’s not noted that rooms with a window don’t have air con. Both would have been ideal.

Friendly stay, unusual room, comfortable stay.
Pros:

An unusual layout of the room as I’ve never stayed in a mezzanine style room before. Great location and loved the little kitchen area.

Cons:

The car park was quite expensive. Would have liked a discount for people staying there. The carpets in the room could have done with a refresh.
