Great hotel in a great location. There were areas that needed a bit of work, but you get that with any hotel in the same category. For the money, we had a great stay, right on the doorstep of Manchester.

We liked the breakfast area, staff was very friendly and helpful. Was close to Printworks, for restaurants. It was only about a 10 min walk to the AO Arena. Room was very clean, it had all we wanted, tea coffee. Shower was really good. The only think for me was the bed was a bit to soft, so I found it uncomfy.
