Good Points: Location, was very quiet and clean
Bad Points: Internal room I was allocated had no air con but to be fair, the reception changed me to a better room straight away. I did phone room service to request a pint glass at one point though, and was advised this would be subject to a ￃﾂￂﾣ5 charge.
Further Comments: Reception were quick to change my room without any problems internal room with air con would have been fine but they happily gave me a room with window

12 Business Trip - 01/02/08	40%
Good Points: Architecturally, the hotel is magnificent but sadly the decor needed a little refreshment.
Bad Points: Severla spects. The check-in and check-out process was much longer than at most hotels. We had a queue of 3 people with only one receptionist attending. The rooms had had their central lights removed and hence were quite dark. The lifts were inadequate for ahotel of its size.
Further Comments: A conveniently located hotel for the centre of Manchester that has known better days. If you like architecture, then the wrought iron staircases are worth a stay to see. Apart from that the hotel has little to recommend it. Overall it was adequate for the price. It is a shame really as the place could be made superb with a lick of paint and better staff and management. Also being in the centre of the city, it can be noisy at nights.
