Bad Points: Perfect, only two thinks that I don't understand. They give me a handicapped person room, and the bathroom was so disconcerting. And someone use my name and my number room to take dinner in the Temple bar, and at the check out, include this in my account. But I realise obout that and don't pay.
Further Comments: The hotel was incledible! Was so so nice and majestous!

Good Points: Friendliness of the staff, and a good breakfast. Interesting building.
Bad Points: Small room and small double bed compared to all other hotels that have stayed in. Slight unpleasant smell in the room and all this after an upgrade.
Further Comments: Nicely situated om the edge of the city center. Nice public areas. The girl on reception when we checked in was terrific, a good ambassador for the hotel. ￃﾂￂﾣ22 for parking was a disgrace and ￃﾂￂﾣ14 more than I was advised. Noisy unloading of lorrys in the service yard, we got the impression that it went on all night. A noisy couple next door proved the wall sound insulation to be inadequate. Interesting building for anyone like me that has an interest in Civil Engineering or Victoriana.

Good Points: Room was very comfortable.
Further Comments: Some confusion at check-in as to how many rooms had been booked. Tried to charge for breakfast that we had not had at checkout. Hotel was in a good central location for exploring Manchester on foot. Car parking at NCP was expensive. Would have preferred to be able to book online rather than having to telephone.

Good Points: The accommodation was clean and very comfortable,a very good size room which is unusual, we had a lovely room, it was an upgrade to a contempary room. It's well worth paying alittle extra.
Bad Points: I didn't dislike anything about the room, we thought it was great, the only thing i'd mention is the lighting could have been alittle brighter, but thats hardly worth complaining about.
Further Comments: We had a wonderful weekend, the staff were great and extremely helpful, the only thing we didn't have was a map but that wasn't for long as when we booked in we were given an extremely good map that we carried around all weekend and never got lost once, we really can't complain about anything.
