Easy to get to city centre, overlook the slight need for decor upgrade for a reasonable priced stay
Pros:

Good price and reasonable location - tram from Piccadilly Station to Salford Quays around 20mins, so it's okay for nipping in and out of the city centre. Handy for Old Trafford if going a game there, equally, can hop on tram straight to Etihad from just outside the hotel. Salford Quays nice area for a stroll, there are a few bars/restaurants around the Lowry theatre, so location is fine. Nice restaurant for breakfast overlooking the water, plenty of breakfast choices and room is spacious with all needed for a short stay.

Cons:

The Copthorne could definitely do with some investment in the bathrooms in particular. They are clean but a bit dated in terms of decor. However it's balanced by it often being reasonably priced - you get what you pay for and it has the benefit of matching city centre budget hotels that are infinitely more noisy and not as clean and comfortable. I have stayed a few times and never been disappointed so the decor is a fairly mute point for me - but if you're looking for a luxury toilet/bathroom then it's not in that league.

The breakfast and dinner was great

Didn’t like the shower over the bath because you could not take the shower head off because it was fixed on the sealing
