Ok
Served a purpose as a place to stay while we were in Manchester. Funny smell in the room and some wear and tear issues. Toiletries provided were good quality. Bed was comfortable.

Wedding Anniversary!
Celebrating our wedding anniversary. Had a lovely welcome drink of Prosecco. Walked into a beautiful room, decorated with heart shaped balloons, little snacks and a hand written note. This made it so special and welcoming. Did not expect this at all. The bed was so comfortable and all areas including the bathroom were clean. The room was very spacious. The fridge was full of drinks and there was a snack basket in the corner. Tea & coffee facilities. Breakfast arrived on time. A standard continental breakfast with pastries. All staff were lovely and attentive.

10/10 Exceptional

Expensive room but overall very good.
Hotel was easy-ish to find, needed google maps as its entrance is really just the name on the door, no big entrance like most, on arrival i got a glass of prosecco and a quick professional check in from the young lady behind the desk. The room was a balcony room, it was clean but the lighting was a little less than im used to, big chandalier on a dimmer and two small lamps , my only complaints were that there were no complimentary bottles of water, there were some in the mini bar at £2.50 each but i feel for a room with that price tag, water should be complimentary and the inevitable noise from outside being in the centre of the gay village and a balcony room it kept me up a while. The balcony was smallish but had a heat lamp so it wasnt cold, my guest smokes so they were able to partake comfortably, all in all a little too pricey (imo) but very nice.
