The hotel was a bit on the expensive side at £156 per night for a double, but we got everything we requested in room 111. Although the room wasn't ready upon arrival, the service was very polite and helpful and the location was amazing, especially for visiting the Lowry and Old Trafford. The dining was very tasty with a good selection, and the facilities were top-notch.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and perfect for my family, with a great walk-in shower that was convenient for my husband who is disabled. The view overlooking the water was lovely, although there was a slight issue with a strong smell of wee that was quite bothersome at night. The location was excellent, especially for our plans near the Trafford Centre, and the staff provided exceptional service throughout our stay, giving us valuable local tips despite nearby road works. The dining options had some variety but lacked certain breakfast items I would have preferred. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers beautiful views of the Quays and is wheelchair accessible, but the rooms are very basic and small. The service is outstanding, especially when assisting with account issues and providing helpful information. The location is fantastic for amenities and attractions but may be confusing for specific destinations. The dining experience has a good variety, although some areas may not be as fresh. In terms of facilities, the hotel offers convenient amenities for guests.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious, with a huge bed and great bathroom, but being right above a generator and next to the lifts was a bit inconvenient. The service was really helpful and the staff were welcoming and friendly, resolving any issues promptly. The location was fantastic, with easy access to Media City and the city center. However, the dining options were lacking, especially with limited breakfast choices.
