Are stay was pretty good but there were some things that could improve for example i had to go down twice to reception due to my key card not working but the issue was dealt with quickly and the staff apologised for the inconvenience. Also the room had some age related issues such as the main light housing in the room was peeling away and there were cracks in the tiles in the bathroom which made the tiles move a little when you stepped on them but, overall is was a good hotel and the staff were amazing.

It would have been handy if there was a usb socket. Also the room above was very squeaky on the floorboards and noisy people in the hallways.

Great Stay
Great stay, lovely hotel and helpful staff. Hotel smelt lovely when you walked in, nice decor, toiletries were fab and the room was very spacious. The only downfall was our room had skylights and the blinds didn't cover the windows so it was very light, very early. Didn't ruin the stay though!

First off the property is great! Really good location in the centre of Manchester. Fixtures in the hotel are amazing e.g. great bed, amazing bathroom (huge bathtub), coffee machine and tv. Balcony also great!!! However, the hotel is let down by its housekeeping which dampened my experience. For example, under the beds there was used tissues and half a biscuit. There were also several long hours which clearly are not mine. There was Also an earring under the cupboard area. This all suggests that cleanliness needs to be improved. If this was better I would have no issues in offering a five star rating! I would go back for sure if cleanliness was better.
