Last minute getaway

We booked last minute as we were already in manchester. Great price for 3 of us with breakfast included. The room was a decent size for 3 of us and would stay again with it being next door to the trafford centre.

Reviews

The toilet was dirty and the lift was dirty with dirty tissues and a dummy. Breakfast the service was good but the staff just waited around you and the food went cold very quickly. The bed was very comfy but sleep was poor for people running around the corridor and slamming the doors in the early hours.

This was left in the lift at around 7ish in the morning

Evening burger meal was just ok. Chips and onion rings were burnt. Shower creme bottle was empty. Rookie error. Otherwise, it was pretty clean, comfortable. Lots to chose for breakfast which was great. Handy for trafford centre and short walk to tram stop (bee network) which can get you round most of manchester. Would stay again.
