Reception had organised our 4 rooms to be on the same floor without us even asking! Arranged a taxi for 7 of us the following morning. Nothing was too much trouble. Dimissi in the breakfast hall was great every morning -moving furniture to get all 7 of us sat together. Greeted us both mornings with a great smile and happy attitude. Again nothing too much trouble! 5 min walk to the Trafford Centre!

First-time stay and genuinely impressed. The family room was spacious and well-equipped, and the amenities exceeded expectations. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Parking was easy and reasonably priced, which made the stay even more convenient. The location was ideal too—close to the tram and great shopping at the Trafford Centre . Overall, a fantastic experience and would happily return.

Staff were really welcoming. Really nice atmosphere. Bright and clean in all areas. We had an accessible room which was really nice and a good amount of space, but if you were a full time wheelchair user the soap dispenser by the bathroom sink would be too high to use. Could do with a few more blue badge parking spaces. Would recommend
