    Large room, friendly staff, great facilities

    Nothing! Will definitely come again!

    8HannahPosted on: 12-22-2025

    Staff really friendly, food was decent and a good price

    Bed was a bit small

    6StevePosted on: 12-16-2025

    The gym is really well equipped but extremely busy to the point of overcrowding at 8pm when I went in. I gave up and returned at 5:45am, it was busy but usable then.

    My room, a king room, was fairly small and cramped. Decor was bland and uninspiring.

    7AndrewPosted on: 12-7-2025

    Generally good value for money, staff were very efficient and helpful

    The swimming pool had too much chlorine

    9SchwoerkePosted on: 11-11-2025

    Buffet breakfast was replete with cold and hot options of all types: meats, eggs, cereal, toast, etc. There was access to the gym/swimming pool which was another plus. Room was well titivated daily, and the shower/bathroom was all that one could desire.

    More square footage would've been nice, but much of the free space was occupied by an open wardrobe and ironing board (a plus and minus).

    8SarahPosted on: 10-25-2025

    We always like the facilities and the breakfast

    The temperature of the room was scorching hot when we arrived, almost to the point of it being unbearable and we almost asked to change rooms. We managed to bring it down by turning everything off and opening the window

    10CindyPosted on: 10-24-2025

    We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day of sightseeing. There were many places to choose from for dinner that are within walking distance. We chose to eat dinner at the hotel. Delicious breakfast. Staff was plentiful and all were very friendly and helpful.

    8CraigPosted on: 10-10-2025

    Facilities are top for the priceSpa and gym are superb Parking and accessibility is good too

    No AC and it was a hot day.

    4MorvariiPosted on: 10-2-2025

    Nice surroundings

    e internet connection was very slow, the room was very small, and the surroundings were noisy. There wasn’t even a desk to place my laptop!

    9RuthPosted on: 9-27-2025

    Excellent facilities, hydrotherapy pool was fab, staff all so friendly and helpful, easy to get to.Food in restaurant was okay, fine for the price.

    Room was cold but staff solved that problem.

    8JonPosted on: 9-15-2025

    Good facilities, well priced, friendly staff, late bar.

    Nothing - all as expected.

    10PeterPosted on: 8-28-2025

    The gym, and spa area are spectacular. Calum at the front desk was also very helpful and pleasant. We will be back to stay here again.

    Rooms were basic and small but for the price, you get what you pay for. Still great value for money

    8RachelPosted on: 7-19-2025

    Staff were very friendly and professional. Room was small and basic but clean (although there was a lid left under the bed so not sure if under the bed had been cleaned). When I asked for more milk for the room at reception some was delivered by housekeeping before I'd got back to my room and boiled the kettle.Pool was large and clean. It looked like there was a nice little spa area and large gym but I couldn't go in as was alone with my 10yo.Handy location for Parrs Wood where we went to eat.

    The room was small, especially the bathroom, and it was 26.5 degrees in the room even with the window open and fan on - it was a warm July day but not a particularly hot one. There is no aircon. I only live a few miles away and appreciate we don't normally need it in Manchester but it wasn't 26 degrees outside so not sure why the room was so hot.

    8DarrenPosted on: 5-25-2025

    Great room, clean and comfy. Breakfast decent.

    Busy health club too, meaning a quiet swim was out of the question

    7RossPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Good hotel, nice area, great spa, room was a little bit pokey and had no room for luggage

    6MichaelPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Front desk staff professional yet accommodating

    Breakfast Hot food was cold

    10MPosted on: 4-27-2025

    Room was small but nice. And manager gave us an upgrade which we really appreciated. Super nice breakfast and access to the gym. We even managed to do early yoga. Was a special stay
