Brilliant breakfast My second stay, recommend the Eggs Benedict
The room was a little cramped, but as I was alone, it didn't matter, the bed was a double, but without access to one side. A minor thing The light switch didn't work from the bedside, again not a major issue

Everything, the place is amazing and so clean
How other residents were not respectful of us, who ever stayed on our floor was very very loud and I was not happy about that

Really liked the location, the staff were very nice. And the much commented on breakfast was really good. Very well priced and would definately return there if going to Manchester again.
Minor, minor niggle and to be honest if you weren't expecting a bit of noise from the pub in the evening. Then kinda naive. All said, I slept well both nights I spent there.

Poor
I was disappointed with my stay. The room was very noisy, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The reception staff were not welcoming or friendly, which made the overall experience less pleasant. I was also surprised that the hotel charges guests to store their luggage. In addition, the checkout time is too early and feels inconvenient. To make matters worse, the shower and pillowcases were not clean, which is unacceptable. Overall, I would not recommend staying here unless these issues are addressed.

Wonderful
Breakfast was nice, the bed was comfortable. The shower was a good size great temperature and pressure and the shower gel smelt lovely. I really like the addition of a fan in the room as this was needed to cool the temperature down. Location was also good.
There was a partially broken blind in my room that let the light in and the toilet flush was a little weak with a lose trigger.
