Good location. Staff are friendly. Discount parking for the multi story car park-£11 for 24 hours. Room is clean and comfortable. Free of charge for late check out which is superb so I could get a quick shower after ran the Manchester half! Dog friendly hotel. Love it! My dog enjoyed the view.

I wanted new towels to be able to shower before dinner and it was ear...

I initially planned for a 2 day stay but eventually ended up staying for 3.5 days. The location is very good, surrounded by many established companies like BBC and the University of Salford. The rooms are very good and spacious. Over and above, I really appreciate the good work by the front desk and also people who worked at the bar area. The menu was small, but the food was amazing. The stay ha...
