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.
