I waited for 5 mins to get an answer regarding wifi 2. Waited at the bar for 15 mins and no one came... More

“Massive room & quality spa...”

Stayed one night for business and must admit I thought it was cracking. The staff were helpful and the service was very good. The room was massive and the bed was very comfory and quite with little or no noise through the walls from other guest. The only slight let down was there was no bath but the big powerful... More

“Nice Hotel, Lovely Staff”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

I stayed with friends to celebrate a birthday weekend. We had one double double room and one king sized room. The double double is ideal for friends sharing a room, although there was a table and chair at the bottom of one of the beds which made it a bit tricky for getting up in the night. The rooms are...

“Not worth the room rate...”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We stayed 1 night in a 'superior' room Was an advance booking £110 -'bargain' rate Breakfast not included - £19 each or £15 if we decided the day before!! No free wifi - you can connect to BT but for a fee. Cheese sandwich £7.20 Car park £17.50! Really over priced! You'd think if you were paying that much that... More

Dear AlyPea, I can see by your other review that you have very high standards and a liking for a bargain and there's no harm in that so if I can politely advise the best opportunity pricewise to book breakfast is always, always, always to book through our Brand Website. Sincerely I'm sorry that we let you down and as... More

“Really liked this hotel”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Stayed here for one night in April for a training course the next day. After a long train journey up, I was so pleased to see how close it is to Piccadilly. Check in was really easy and I had a seriously lovely, huge room looking over the front of the hotel. Bath was great and filled instantly, taking away... More

“How to find the car park”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Great location to walk into the city or use the central train station. Very comfortable room and pleasant staff. Excellent breakfast options though a bit expensive at £15.50. One big issue we had was with locating the car park. The hotel website suggests a post code to use on your sat nav but our device, having found the hotel, couldn't... More

Dear Colin, Thanks so much for taking the time to review us. To be fair like many hotels we provide a Sat Nav postcode specifically designed to get you straight to the car park even though it is literally 5m from the hotel. The car park gate opens automatically as you approach it and its secure 24/7. Many thanks for... More

“Good hotel with great staff in excellent location”

First stay in a Macdonald hotel and it won't be our last. We chose it for its' location in central Manchester but only 10 minutes walk to the O2 Apollo or £3 taxi ride. We had a superior double for a midweek £105 including a very good buffet breakfast. The room was large, on the top, 8th, floor with a... More

“Shameful”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We checked into the room to be faced with a stiffling smell of smoke but didn't want to mention it believing that the last guest or cleaner must have recently had a cigarette and the smell would naturally pass. We left to go shopping and when we returned the room was just as smelly and quite overwhelming. Closer inspection of... More

Dear Mr Smith, Many thanks for your feedback although as I mentioned in my message to you please try to make your reviews balanced. TripAdvisor is a great platform but it does need all comments to be justified and accurate. The commonsense resolution was always to simply check you into another room with an agreeable aroma and have a member... More

“Shame about the Internet charge! Otherwise above average”

Recently stayed one night at this hotel on business. It's large, modern and very well located particularly if you need to be close to the central station. it's a formula hotel so lacks any real charm but it seems busy and has a reasonable room rate and the rooms are sizeable and well stocked. Would stay here again on business... More

Hi 1879fulham, Many thanks for taking the time to review us and initially I was disappointed only to get a 4 star rating from you because as a senior reviewer its clear that you know what you're looking for.
