Ardsley Holidays from £160

Spacious room, walking shower, nice decoration, big windows, good location and friendly and helpful staff.

We have been to this hotel before but it just seemed really disappointing this time. The staff seem very unwelcoming. They speak quickly in a condescending manner. The room was small and the hotel is generally dated. The breakfast was ok but cheap quality ingredients. They are charging for the car park and despite advertising spa facilities, you need to pay for this as well on top of the high price they charge for average rooms. Just disappointing!

Hotel, even without breakfast service, is lovely. Kitchen available to use. While walking I explored slightly further afield and discovered a little cafe on the beach and the stunning old Heysham Village. I heartily recommend staying at this hotel. Owner very helpful.

The room itself was a normal hotel room, when first viewed, until the smell of disinfectant hit your nose and never left until Later on in the evening after struggling to open the old sash window,which was behind a peice of furniture with the mirror and kettle on it. Taking a shower was fun, it was an old fashioned multi trick shower which came at you from all sides. One of the sliding shower doors did not come together, you had to get soaked just to get a normal shower setting. Breakfast was good, but did not have cooked breakfast, one of the other residents came in with her dog to breakfast and the dog was fed some breakfast with one of the normal dinning plates. The door locks are the American type of lock, which I had trouble with particularly as the hall light outside my room was less than good. The receptionist seemed less than pleased having to come and help me with locking my door. I would not have stayed and gone elsewhere if I had not been tired from driving all day. While it is a historic old building, it really needs an Injection of cash to make it great again.

Great place to stay for 3 nights - easy and close to get to places. Good transport links as Deansgate rail station and tram station was literally a few minutes down the road. Easy walk to Manchester city center and near museums and galleries. Thanks 👍
