Pleasant Manchester city stay

Location is great for exploring Manchester. The check in was good and efficient and all staff were extremely friendly. Room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was good, but could be better. I had the full English. Check out was easy. I paid £213 for a twin room the weekend before Christmas which was expensive but all hotels in Manchester were charging the same on the particular weekend. I would not pay that much usually as it was definitely toouch! Overall I would stay again as a solo traveller or with my partner.
