Stayed here a few times. I requested a top floor room as I'm a terrible sleeper. I got allocated a ground floor room but as I was so tired after a long haul flight, the nice lady at reception let me check in early. The bathroom was nice and the room had a lovely comfy bed. The carpet and sofa chair? However were minging. I do wish rooms had soundproofing as i could hear noises from other rooms and thumping from the room above. I got very little sleep. That's with earplugs. The food in the restaurant is very good and nice to have vegan options. That was evening meal and breakfast. If this place had soundproofing and wasn't as tired in decor, it would be 9 out of 10. Overall, very happy apart from other inconsiderate noisy guests.

The check in was fast easy and very friendly helpful staff.highly recommended. The room was nice very clean but no charging points which was a surprise in this modern world. We would have liked a bigger tv.the room was cold even with the extra electric heater on.It would be nice also not to be charged for parking as youve paid for your room even if its added to your room price. Close to airport.

It was the end of a business trip to the Manchester area and need to stay close to the airport. The room was good but it is not all that close to the airport and they do not have a shuttle service.

This hotel does not have a shuttle to the airport, but the reception desk staff were helpful and arranged for a taxi. The rooms are spacious, clean and with a comfortable bed. We ate dinner in the restaurant. It had a limited menu, but the food was good and they had some healthy options.

All members of staff who I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was hot, fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend this hotel for an early morning flight.

A little tough to find with sat nav (GPS), but worth the effort. Lovely, quiet hotel with plenty of parking ($12.00 per day), a very nice restaurant for dinner, and free breakfast. I will stay here again.

Hotel is ideal and close to the airport. Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Room is nice and clean but for us the bed was very soft and pillows too hard but this is a personal thing. Second stop at the hotel and would return again

Very nice hotel but need to pay £12 a night for parking no concessions. Breakfast was good too. Accessible room very good if you have wet room like we had.
