Reception staff are a credit to the company and couldn't have been more helpful. Rooms have been renovated to a good standard and are clean and comfortable. Was less impressed with the choice of food and service in the local beefeater next to the hotel. children's menu was very good value though

I have stayed at this hotel recently for several consecutive weeks. I have found this hotel to be extremely comfortable and I couldn't ask for more from a hotel of such good value.
The best thing about this hotel is definitely the reception staff who really did go the extra mile on several occasions, they are a credit to the hotel.

Paid a very good price for the room when offers were on and booked for the "all you can eat" breakfast as well which was lovely - a real treat with loads of choice and it was replenished all the time- we also enjoyed having it later at 10am (they serve until 11am on a Sunday).Big wide screen tv in room - we booked a twin room which consisted of one comfy double bed and a sofa bed that was already made up and again very comfy with plenty of pillows. We were going to a gig at the Ritz so I was a bit worried about how easy it was to get into the centre of Manchester but the Bowker Vale tram stop is about a 10-15 minute walk (turn left from the hotel and walk along the main road past the petrol station then cross over and the tram stop is along a short path and up some steps. The service takes you straight into central Manchester in about 25 mins and you catch the tram maked Bury to come home. (If you get on it at Manchester Piccadilly Station you can get a seat before it fills up). Would definitely recommend the hotel and use it again rather than paying higher prices for a city centre hotel and the tram fare was £2.80 return off peak (as Dec 2012). The staff are lovely too :-)

This one is a good one. Stayed here a number of times and even better since the refurbishment. Foods very good, beds great, quality sleep time after a good night out. Good price and popular place. Staff all very good as well as in the Beefeater for breakfast, fantastic spread buffet style. V. Good, :-) Happy Client.
