It was just ok

Hotel is in a convenient location, quite modern and clean. Staff were overall nice and professional although the breakfast staff were especially friendly and worked really hard. Breakfast was a zoo! So busy, not enough tables and food kept running out. The staff did their best but just couldn't cope with the demand and the small space. Beds were also very, very soft - made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. We were also placed on the first floor, overlooking a builders yard, this meant that we were woken up by lots of noise every morning - bring ear plugs!

Great location and friendly helpful staff. Room was clean and well presented with a well appointed bathroom. Perfect stopover if visiting Manchester for a night or longer. Breakfast was plentiful and although busy seats became available pretty quickly with a constant turnover of folks.
