We had a lovely room on the first floor with a private terrace. Room was very comfortable and quiet. I appreciated the little bottles of milk for tea rather than the uht cups! A very nice touch! We had a one night stay and didnt have time to use the restaurant other than a quick glass of wine, and I was impressed with the choice. All the staff we came in contact with greeted us with a smile and were warm and friendly. We would love to return should we be in Manchester again.

Rude Ginger Male Receptionist! Abhorrent behaviour

Everything was great but the check-in experience ruined it for me. I had driven 3.5hrs to Dakota as a female solo traveller. I was exhausted & expected staff at reception to be as inviting and as kind as the doorman was but I was very wrong. A white ginger male was at the front desk & he was condescending, sarcastic, rude, patronising & entirely unpleasant. He did not tell me where the elevator was nor where my bags were or what was going to happen with them. I had to ask about where breakfast would be held & he spoke over everything I was saying & was being extremely patronising. I had to call my husband in the middle of his own business trip to make his way to me because or how uncomfortable this man made me feel. I am an outwardly dressed Muslim woman & I do strongly believe this ginger male receptionist treated me the way he did because of a racial and religious bias. To treat a guest who is paying a premium price for a premium experience is abhorrent.
