Short break over Easter

Some rooms have connecting doors to neighbours even though we didn't know them and this means if you get "noisy neighbours" you can't do a lot about it. Some rooms on the first floor are near the outside air conditioning units which can also be a little noisy. Staff were friendly and helpful despite it being very busy at times - Easter combined with MUFC maches. Very handy for the media city area restaurants and the IWM Manchester and only a relatively short walk to a tram stop. Good food choise at breakfast

poor conditions

The rooms were so small for families, and the sofa bed was uncomfortable. Our room's air conditioning system was not working, they offered to send a heater, and change the room for the next day. But the night was freezing, we didn't want to stay any longer. We left early. At least, the team was helpful to our needs, they were kind.

I had a tough time reviewing this property. For example, every staff member I talked to was polite, knowledgeable and helpful. However, the toilet in our room got stopped up and there was not only no maintenance staff available, but not even a plunger. We were advised we could use the public bathroom off the lobby and it turn out there was only one stall in the men’s room and that stall had a broken door that could not be locked! We were also told a maintenance man would come the next day, but we never saw him. It should also be noted that our room was not cleaned one of the three days we were booked in the hotel. On suggestion for improving the overall customer experiences is that the facility should subscribe to at least one of the TV services that provide coverage of football games. The facilities location is a real plus. Easily walkable to a plethora of nice eating places, Old Trafford, and public transportation.

Great location near Old Trafford and the shops and restaurants of Salford Quay. Walkable to trams if going further into Manchester. So many convenient options around. Breakfast was pretty good and very well managed by the staff.
