Excellent stay. Comfortable room, breakfast was excellent value - exceeded my expectations as a lot of hotels don’t offer or do a poor job. All the staff were so polite and attentive and somebody was always tidying/cleaning the communal areas. Location is great for Lowry Museum which was the main reason for our visit. We would stay here again. The staff were fantastic and I hope they are recognised for the standards they maintain
