    "Very good and good value for money"

    The service was good and prompt and place was very clean. People at reception were very helpful and efficient. Although the room was small it had all the necessary things and the free wifi is a bonus.

    None but maybe some refurbishment would make the place look even better

    "Comfortable and convenient stay"

    "We enjoyed our short over night stay and when staying in Manchester again will probably book into this hotel."

    The room was lovely and spacious enough for three adults - the shower was great

    Our room was directly on to a busy main road so could of probably benefit from a triple glaze window !! But we managed to sleep through the traffic so it didn't affect us too much.

    from Weston-super-mare UK, stayed on May 17, 2009

    "Ideally situated for my purposes, i.e. visiting MEN Arena. Although the room was mainly clean, there were cobwebs on the ceiling, which spoilt the overall impression of cleanliness of the room. The bed sheets had holes, which is not particularly impressive. It's a personal preference I'm sure, but I didn't like the bed cover; it tended to slip off during the night, which caused me to wake up cold. My wife found the same problem with the bed cover."

    Location. Parking.

    Holes in bed linen. Cobwebs on room ceiling. Tiny bathroom.

    "The hotel was close to the facilities in Manchester that we were using, but the room was a little disappointing compared to rooms we have had in other hotels for a cheaper price."

    The staff were very friendly and efficient. The car park was handy too.

    The rooms were very small, they were clean but rather worn and tired. The outside of the hotel looked quite presentable, as did reception, but we were a bit disappointed with the rooms.

    "With the exception of what has been stated above, I enjoyed my stay. "

    The staff was very well helpful and the room very clean and tidy!

    Not much of a selection for breakfast, no refrigerator in the room, and not dvd player connection on television.

    "Adequate without being exciting"

    Cheerful staff, Good breakfast.

    Waste pipe from wash hand basin blocked and did not drain properly. Booking online did not permit me to book as a single visitor. to the surprise of the otherwise very friendly staff who thought that they were expecting two visitors. Disappointing supper meal. Menu items or part menu items not available and too much use made I think of microwave.

    "Despite the above minor issues i was fully satisfied with my stay."

    In room T.V had poor signal on some of the channels. When payment was taken from my debit card, the reception took my card out of my view as his dek is much lower than the counter. I do not think anything suspicious occured at all, but would recommend that thi process is conducted on the main counter in front of the customer. I personnally feel uneasy about my card leaving my sight.

    "Apart from the minor points mentioned above, which did not really inconvenience us. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel and would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and owners for a very pleasant stay."

    Friendly and polite staff, room was very clean and secure with ample facilities. Wireless network within hotel was also a very welcome extra.

    No bad points to speak of, only unsatisfactory point if any, was only one pillow for myself and my wife on the bed, with only one other spare. Also we were unable to locate any sky television channels.

    "I do not feel that some of the previous reviews are fair about this hotel. Yes the hotel rooms are small and the shower and toilet area is very small however the room was clean and for £60 per night what do people expect. It was very accessible to the town and the MEN Arena with free parking on site. It was suitable for a short stay and would use again."

    The proximity to the town centre and the MEN Arena.

    I felt the room was a bit small

    "Was adequate stay to meet our needs. Would not like to stay more than one night due to shower facilities. Would recommend as a one night stay"

    Cheap and cheerful. Near to where we wanted to go

    The bathrooms in particular the showers. Feel they need to be updated
