This hotel is always a delight to stay in. It’s perfect for the Manchester Marathon and other city even highlights as it’s only a short metro ride from the town centre. The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay including a fridge and tea and coffee. Breakfast is served buffet style and always has a great and varied choice

We absolutely loved staying here, we were here for Manchester marathon and the hotel was just what we needed and more for our stay. Great location, a short walk from Old Trafford where the race started, but also has a tram stop close by to get into the centre. The hotel was so clean and well kept, the staff were so lovely and helpful. Our room was really spacious, clean, great amenities. The breakfast was also probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had, every hotel does similar things as you’d expect, but the food here was hot, perfectly cooked, full of choice and just very delicious. If you’re visiting Manchester I would recommend staying here 100%!!
