Very comfortable room, with friendly professional staff 🤩
Pros:

The hotel isn't very far at all, from the hub of where we wanted to be (The Lowry Theatre and the shopping centre!)

Cons:

The bed was really hard and uncomfortable for both my husband and I. We woke up with back ache. But I guess you can't please all the people, all of the time.

Cons:

Bed not comfortable, mattress needs replacement.
We had a standard room - the bed was not wide enough; it did not seem to be a regular king size bed.

There was a delay in getting our room serviced.

Average hotel but we were upgraded so got a bigger room.
Pros:

Ideal location .

Cons:

Parking for the hotel was quite complicated as nearby parking had to be scanned rather than ticket. Wouldn’t except our overseas phone number.
