    Great Hotel Very Comfortable With Excellent Staff

    • Standard King Room with Sofa Bed - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 1 night

    The breakfast is not as good as the same hotels in this chain, as a lot more variety is offered elsewhere. I don't like having to pay for parking considering I have no choice, as this is not something that I have to do mostly in other hotels or chains. My other issue is the cost of my dog as £20 per night is a bit steep compared to other places.

    The location is excellent and the room was very clean with a comfortable bed. There is a large reception and plenty of parking spaces, which is always a bonus.

    Cooked breakfast, fried foods were overcooked at breakfast e.g. hash browns were solid, unfortunately some bits were cold (sausages). No decaffeinated options for tea / coffee.

    Good location for Trafford Centre, clean, quiet, staff at check in helpful.

    Breakfast was not up to scratch. Beverage set up needs improving, waiting for cups, shortage of items, Staff stressed. Peak times are identified on displayed information, cater for that, don't expect people to get up 2 hours earlier to get breakfast.

    Friendly welcome, good location for Bowlers Exhibition Centre, clean comfy room.

    The TV remote was disgusting and looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Another small but relevant thing was the the body wash was placed in the holder by the sink and not in the shower where it was needed.

    The room was lovely. I had a slight issue at check in and staff were lovely and very patient with me. Particularly the reception manager who eventually check me in

    The cooked breakfast was the worst I’ve eaten in a long time, the sausages were cheap and nasty, there were no poached or fried eggs, the scrambled eggs tasted very rubbery, the bacon was extremely greasy and cheap looking, the hash browns were soggy and the bread was a cheap bread. The yogurt was nice and there was a fair selection of cereals. But if a let down to an otherwise nice stay!

    Close to the shops, the rooms were comfortable and the bed was nice, the staff were also lovely.

    Nothing to record

    It is an excellent location with accommodating staff like Susan and the dark horse. Honestly, the catering and servers, as I have seen with my eyes, were the busiest service ever, and they were smiling and working with high-end professionalism. Well done to Katie and the team

    A little bit small in the room and comfort was effected a little because of that. A family room but it was just a sofa bed and no room to manoeuvre.

    The breakfast was a massive let down. The sausages were burnt, the hash browns tasted like they’d been sat in water. Wasn’t much of a selection for a cooked breakfast.

    Beds were very comfortable, room was quiet, staff were very helpful.

    Small plates for breakfast are ok for toast and pastries but a bit tricky for a cooked breakfast.

    Very close to a venue I was attending. Clean and tidy rooms. The bathroom was very nice and the shower was super. Very quick and easy check in and out.
