Firstly the location is brill! Just a short walk to the Arndale & Print works. We walked from Piccadilly Station which was about 20mins. We had arrived early but the hotel kindly looked after our bags until check in. First impression as you walk in the door is a very friendly, clean & inviting reception area. The room was spotless & the sofa bed was already made up. Breakfast was plentiful & hot which was lovely as sometimes self service breakfast can be cold. Overall would recommend & would definitely stay again. 10/10.
