Good quality in excellent location
Pros:

Excellent location near the tram station, Lowry and Imperial War museum with restaurants around. We had a beautiful view over Manchester. Although I didn't use it during a one night stay, there were ironing facilities in the room and space to hang up clothes. Breakfast offered a good range with many healthy choices and vegetarian options could be requested.

Cons:

Sadly the pillows were an non-standard size and I found them uncomfortable - this may be a personal thing though.

Good well-located comfortable Salford Quays hotel
Pros:

We were staying in the area for one night and had chosen the hotel as it was located in Salford Quays, with access to easy parking and it had air conditioning (as we were in the middle of a heat wave). The hotel was comfortable and the reception team were friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Nothing

A pleasant one night stay with a full day exploring Media City.
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, breakfast

Cons:

Hard pillows & confusion in the parking app on the check in desk. I paid for 24hrs as instructed by the clerk but was sent a penalty notice claiming I had overstayed. I appealed successfully but think the instruction at the hotel desk was confusing.

За свою ціну цілком нормально
Pros:

Хороший номер з великим зручним ліжком. Непоганий вид з вікна. Все є в наявності, персонал привітний, ліжко не скрипить, постіль приємна, сподобалось що в номері є тверді і м'які подушки. Душ теж чистий.

Cons:

Не працював кондиціонер в номері і вікна теж не має змоги відкрити, погода була не жаркою але це неприємно, кухня теж досить бідна як на таку ціну, в інших готелях Holiday inn було набагато більше вибору на сніданок.
