Solid
Pros:

One thing I would say is many people come from far to this travel lodge
I’m aware that check in is at certain times however i feel there should be different timings on what time your able to check in.
Besides the wait for checking in as I arrived 1 hour before and I had to wait an hour to get into my room. I feel the rooms should be prepared maybe slightly earlier just in case someone like myself arrived earlier. The room was absolutely wonderful no complaints.

Great, no-frills hotel
Pros:

We stayed here for one night with friends after a day in Manchester. The hotel was very clean, easily accessible and had great amenities. The highlight of the stay was the buffet-style breakfast which had everything you could want. Kayleigh was especially hospitable, ensuring that everyone’s food and drink was up to standard and overall providing great service with a smile. I would definitely return if I needed a no-frills place to stay in Manchester.

Great as always but not worth extra for standard plus
Pros:

We have stayed in this travelodge before so we knew what to expect. We paid extra for a standard plus but I don't think I would again. We got a coffee machine which had 2 regular and 2 decaf pods but no extra milk. The usb charging ports in the walls, only 1 out of 3 worked. The room itself was no bigger than a regular standard, it actually seemed smaller. It was quieter on the top floor. We bought food in the bar and that was nice and also reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They helped us book a taxi for the show and took our complaint about a person who was not actually staying there just having a drink who was being very rude to us and other customers. The breakfast was great and plenty to choose from. Overall it's been a great stay but I would t pay the extra for standard plus again.

Outstanding example of customer service
Pros:

Fantastic experience my wife and I weren’t sure what to expect from a city hotel, but we were meet by a fantastic team of professionals. They were all extremely professional and very friendly with a can do attitude. We were looked after during our stay by Morgan Kande and Danielle and we could not have been more grateful for their hospitality and outstanding customer service. Absolutely recommend staying here and we certainly will in the future.

Pleasant stay all round.
Pros:

Staying here at Manchester Central Arena as temporary accommodation and can't praise it enough. Reception staff are really friendly and helpful. Housekeeping staff are great, will top up with fresh towels and bedding whenever you leave the sign on the door.
Tried the restaurant tonight and food was lovely and tasty and hot. Yet to have the unlimited breakfast so can't comment on that.
Overall, a pleasant stay.

The amazing Kayleigh
Pros:

Stayed for 3 nights. Very much appreciated being moved to a quiet room on the 5th room away from the construction works next door. Had breakfast each morning and was looked after by the amazing Kayleigh. I can honestly say that she was the most helpful and bubbly member of staff that I’ve ever been looked after by in ANY hotel. Look after her Travelodge …
