Better than expected for the price bracket.
For a holiday Inn express it was much better than expected, room was clean, few bits of damage to furniture but overall good condition. Staff on checking in were quick and efficient, good have been a little more attentive to start though as we were ignored until a supervisor highlighted to one member of staff we were waiting. Breakfast was good for an included in the rate breakfast however it is chaotic, it's a buffet style and there's no real system so it's a free for all, they really should implement a queue at one side and work your way along system, you end up with people joining at both ends others randomly pushing into the middle, frustrating to say the least. Overall a good hotel, few bits to polish on but we'd recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap and cheerful stay for a night

Good for short stay
Short one night stay next to Trafford centre which made it convenient. Otherwise hotel was a typical Holiday Inn standard with quaint rooms. Had to carry my own luggage with a trolley back and forth the rooms. Cheap parking was a bonus. Breakfast was average but can’t complain.
