Will stay again if ever in Manchester.

Staff were very welcoming. Room was very nice. Breakfast was delicious and had a lot of options. As well as the in-house restaurant for evening meals etc It's next to a Macdonald's and a carvery pub so perfect for a quick pint or a coffee.

Breakfast food waa good plenty of choice, room was cleaned well, Downside to the stay is they took £50 holding deposit for any damages that may happen, that i wasn't told about and I needed the money for the weekend away which was so frustrating to not know about the £50 before going. Hotel stay let me down by the money taken on arrival from my card which I needed that money.
