Another brilliant stay it this hotel. The location is perfect for the Trafford centre and the tram stop is just outside to get into the city centre. The staff were great as we were going to the AO Arena and had never used the tram before and they were so helpful giving us a map and explained which line to get on. The hotel itself is really clean and the rooms are lovely. Breakfast was included and the food was great, the staff never stopped cleaning. Wi-Fi was also really fast! I’ve used other hotels in the same area, but this is by far the best one.

Stayed with family including someone who was gluten free and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. From the housekeepers to reception staff and the breakfast team everyone was helpful and great with the kids. Gluten free options were provided each morning. Lots to do in the area. The staff made us all feel very welcome and will definitely be returning.

This is my go to hotel in Manchester despite the choice of many in the area. It is ideally located near motorway and less than 5 mins walk to the Trafford Centre and tram into city centre. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable with the reception/bar/restaurant area being pleasant, with a good menu and food is decent quality too..... however the main reason that I come back here almost every week is the team that looks after me there. They do everything they can to ensure I have a great stay and that I am happy with everything and they really do show that they value my custom., Right from checking in to checking out every member of the team is friendly, welcoming and professional, a credit to the brand. I have been staying here regularly for over a year and have never had an issue, would definitely recommend.…

Despite the fact that the room had already been paid for by the company, they would not let me check in without paying a £50 damage deposit, not at all welcoming. Then they mentioned the breakfast and I asked what gluten free options they had, they said ‘Not much!’ Poor ventilation in the rooms, had difficulty sleeping as you can not turn the aircon fans off, one for the noise but also because it dries the air out so much, it affected my breathing. Was tempted to go and sleep in my car. Wafts of the smell of weed floated through the hotel. Would not recommend.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this feedback and for bringing your experience to our attention, we appreciate it very much. In regards to your complaint about the £50 deposit, Credit cards are increasingly used in fraudulent circumstances, hence hotels such as ours and other ihg hotels must be vigilant. This is also used to cover for any incidentals and additional extras such as parking or any food and drink charged to the room. This is released on check-out. Your company specified that they were only paying for bed & breakfast and nothing else which why you were asked to provide a card for a deposit which again is standard practice in many ihg hotels. This is a requirement of everyone who checks in. The hotel provides Gluten free options, these are available on request with our breakfast staff. All of our gluten free options are documented on allergen sheets which can be found printed in the breakfast area and at the bar. I apologise this information was not made more clear on arrival. I'm sorry to hear that that you did not have a comfortable night and that you were having trouble with the a/c unit. Any problems should be reported to the front desk where a member of the team will always be on hand and happy to help resolve any issues. Furthermore, I hope you give us a chance by staying with us again to show you that your unsatisfactory stay was a exception. Kind regards

Stayed one night, three people sharing a room with a king double bed and a sofa bed. The room was too small for this arrangement and could be considered dangerous as there was less than adequate room to walk safely around the end of the beds, See photo. Breakfast was far from relaxing as the food was very slow to be replenished so much so that people were diving in before it vanished again ! Not a pleasant stay !

Very happy with our choice. Hotel is very clean and has a nice interior design. Better than other Expresses we have stayed before. Rooms ad a nice view - we booked 2 interconnected and housekeeping staff was very helpful and polite when asking to have the sofa bed made up. Bathrooms were spotless, nice towelling and good amenities. Great value for money

Stayed here for 1 one whilst visiting a show BEC. The room was really spacious and the bathroom was great but it could have done with a bit of a clean. There was half a glass of water on the table in the room and the carpets could have done with a clean as stained. Breakfast was very limited too.

I was visiting to watch a rugby match between Christmas and New Year. The hotel was easy to find and near a tram station. I went to the city for lunch and came back later both to check-in and then head off for breakfast. Was a bit surprised by the made up sofa bed, was in the way, but it as just one night stay so didn't raise the matter. Nice room and bathroom. Good breakfast in the morning. Good parking and easy access to public transport links and the Trafford Centre.

Stayed one night mid-week after visiting Trafford centre. It was ideal. Clean, modern, QUIET room which is a must for me. Only a short walk to shopping. Limited menu in restaurant and just an ordinary breakfast but would definitely stay again.
