Up your game.

Check in was good the room is pretty clean and comfortable. The breakfast services and provision needs a major uplift. Staff with sad gloomy faces. Food options very limited. There was no mushrooms and the hush brown was very suggy. 30 minutes before end of breakfast and they had already run out of food options.

Convenient for a business trip

Staff were friendly and helpful, clean comfortable modern room. Decent breakfast and a good amount of parking (which was cheap). Convenient location for the Trafford centre and Salford. All in all, perfect for a short business trip.
