The staff are absolutely brilliant in here. Kayleigh and Abbie always offer super service, remember me from previous visits and even remember what I drink. The welcome is always warm, the rooms are clean and comfortable and if you go on a weeknight there is always something going on - darts, pool, quiz night or football on the television.

On a night when the Brits inflated all hotel prices in Manchester this was a fine spot to stay. Clean, comfortable, good temperature, good location
Breakfast coffee was instant. Breakfast food was far from instant but very good when it finally arrived

Excellent spot, staff were all very helpful and friendly. Great value for money! Have to mention the little kebab place just around the corner "The Good Father" best kebab ever! Food in the black lion was excellent too! :)

Room was clean, staff were amazing, friendly, welcoming, one of the bar staff lent my partner a hair band because she'd forgot to pack one and the poor guy who did the night shift had to deal with myself and my insomniac fiancé going out till 4am for cigs. So again, great experience, definitely staying here again when I'm in Manchester next (if they'll have us that is)

Great location and staff were lovely. Great shower.
Breakfast could have been better, we had burnt sausages, under cooked tomatoes, and the baps were stale.
