Lovely staff, spacious room great fast shower, came with daughter to watch concert at Co op live arena.
Location perfect! when travelling to arena uber was easy to get only £5-£6, coming out the arena make sure you pre book taxi or uber!
Breakfast was good, variety of hot food including pancakes which was our favourite.
We parked in the recommended car park by the hotel and this was super easy, five minute walk to hotel.

We had a fantastic stay in Manchester I was there with my daughter to see Billie Ellish in concert. Everyone was lovely and kind and asked straight away if we needed help with getting to the concert and ordered a taxi for us as soon as we was checked in....The room was lovely and very clean.... This is definitely a 5* hotel for me couldn't of asked for anymore.....

Average stage overall
Breakfast was average from what can you expect from a budget chain hotel.
What it was a bit annoying is that the bed was a bit small for a couple and definitely not comfortable. Not what I expected from a huge chain hotel.
Location was excellent and very convenient to walk around the city and on the North Quarter neighbourhood.
Average stay overall, nothing extra
