Beautiful new facility, new rooms were great and comfortable. Kind staff, great breakfast in the morning and little touches like fresh milk in the fridge. Close to the airport and great to have a nice pub attached!!

We wouldn’t book this hotel again. It was 135 per night for poor quality accommodation & breakfast. Pub adjoining th
Pros:

Location. We booked accommodation on the basis of proximity to Manchester airport for an early flight

Cons:

No soundproofing and doors constantly shutting could be heard throughout the night. The room was decorated nicely but carpet was quite dirty and as you entered the hotel an untidy cleaning trolley was at the entrance for the duration of the stay.
