Great Location for a hotel. In the courtyard you have a choice of 5 or 6 restaurants as well as a very short walk to many more and also to the centre of town. The tram stop was right outside the door, which made it easy to get to the outlying areas of Manchester, although you don’t need it to get around the central area of Manchester. The whole area was fantastic. The room was a great size (always enjoy an upgrade) and very comfortable. The bed and pillows were great. The staff were very obliging and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
