The rooms in this hotel are very spacious and clean but the decor is somewhat tired and dated. The food was good but I do have issue when the receptionists says how can I help without even looking at you.

We stayed over on a Saturday night as we were going to see Eddie Izzard at the MEN and wanted a central location. Check in was very quick and easy - the valet parking was excellent meaning that we just parked right outside the door (in the rain) and took our bags in! My friend and I had a twin... more

Right in the heart of the City Centre, 5 min walk to the M.E.N arena which was our reason for visiting Manchester. We managed to book the hotel directly through the marriot website and got a King room with breakfast included for £88 and as the breakfast is £17 per person this has got to be a bargain!

Really central location in Manchester, walking distance from everywhere. Also, not noisy at all. Staff were friendly and really helpful. Our room (room 808) was fantastic! It was massive with two double beds, and a seating area. Beds were comfortable (great sheets), and the bathroom was clean and had a powerful shower. I would stay here again. more

Large room with all the necessities. Comfy huge bed. Didn't have breakfast there so I can't comment on that. Parking for 24 hours is £14-... more

The room... more

My Husband and I stayed at the Renaissance during the recent Conservative Party Conference. We had not stayed there before, but we found it suited our needs very well. The Reception staff were friendly, and the check-in was quick and efficient. The room was large with a couch and table at one end. Nice not to have to sit on... more
