Reception had organised our 4 rooms to be on the same floor without us even asking! Arranged a taxi for 7 of us the following morning. Nothing was too much trouble. Dimissi in the breakfast hall was great every morning -moving furniture to get all 7 of us sat together. Greeted us both mornings with a great smile and happy attitude. Again nothing too much trouble! 5 min walk to the Trafford Centre!

Room was clean. Included breakfast had hot items including bacon, sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and beans. There was also yoghurt, cereal, croissants, muffins and juices. Coffee machines were excellent. I had a couple pints at the bar in the evenings and they were reasonably priced too. Bed was comfortable. Air-conditioning was excellent. A little far away from the city centre but there is a bus stop called the Parkway right on the other side of the tram tracks.

Brilliant location for the Trafford Centre and right by the Trafford Palazzo Tram stop to get into the city centre (red line takes you straight to Victoria). We used it as a base to get to the AO Arena, handy McDonald's opposite the hotel open til midnight!

Breakfast is included but when I said we'd had to check out really early they said they'd made us up a grab and go bag each - I asked if they could do a vegan one and they made me up a veggie sausage bap at 4am, top customer service!!

Room was nice and had everything you'd expect, there was a gym on site which I didn't have time to try but was a nice addition!

Recommend!

Check in was effortless and the staff were attentive throughout my stay. Breakfast was of average quality, but there was a nice variety of options to suit everyone. The bedroom was clean with fresh sheets; however, the stained carpet was off‑putting. You would expect an IHG‑owned hotel to invest in proper industrial carpet cleaning.

The location is convenient, within walking distance of the tram stop and the Trafford Centre. Parking was only £5 per night, which I think is very good value

We had an accessible room which was really nice and a good amount of space, but if you were a full time wheelchair user the soap dispenser by the bathroom sink would be too high to use.
Could do with a few more blue badge parking spaces.

Room was clean, large and comfortable. Towels that typical \"washed too many times\" feel. Good to have both an internal lock and physical lock for lone travellers.

Downside is (albeit included) breakfast was poor quality with defrosted fruit \"compote\" and poor quality low meat content sausages. Parking also costs £5 extra and also on checking in there was a card preapproval for \"any damage\" which boggles the mind on what is typical. Not the nicest way to be greeted on arrival and the breakfast wasn't the nicest end to the stay. Plenty of it though so perhaps reduce quantity increase quality? Or have options to upgrade to something better?

Apart from that, front facing rooms may get some tram noise if you're a light sleeper but good location for the Trafford Centre and trams. Well priced when I stayed but I can imagine the prices will flex a lot.

I ended up thinking this would be good if you're an engineering contractor wanting a full stomach for a long day, less good for business travellers.

The hotel is convenient for business in the area. It has a decent size car park. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is much better quality than most hotels this price. My room had stains on the carpet I’m hoping were spilled coffee. I had some minor issues with the heating in the room but this was resolved. Overall good and I would certainly use this hotel again when in the area for business again

My welcome was excellent, the lady checking me in took good care of me & when I said I have Coeliac Disease and cannot eat anything contaminated with gluten, she took great care to show me a card that I simply had to complete and put on my table when having dinner or breakfast & the team would ensure I was provided suitable food. The dinner menu didn't appeal but luckily the pub next door had a good gluten free menu so I had dinner there. My room was reasonably apponted and everythign was where I needed it, or so I thought. In the morning preparing for my day I stepped into the shower washed my hair and reached for the bodywash, much as I pumped the bottle it had run dry and I was left with shampoo to use as a body wash - not the end of the world but anoying as I had no choice. Having finished my all over shampoo I completed my dietary card and headed off to th elift, only 1 of the 2 were working so I joined on the 1st floor then proceded to visit 5,4,3 & 2 before squeezing out of the now cramped lift to have breakfast. I went in, nobody to greet me, no staff in site so I found a table & went to get coffee with my card sat on my table. Nobody came to check the card, I got some hopefully safe food & ate, several staff noticed the card & actively swerved my table! I think the dietary card is a great idea but the lack of any staff engagement makes it a wasted gesture. Checkout was fine, I just wished all the staff were as customer focussed as others are.

Number of disappointing aspects. Bathroom was a wet room for disabled access with bad drainage so half the floor was covered in water, didn't feel like a hotel bathroom. The automatic sensor tap was extremely annoying, needed at least a few seconds flow of water as it was tricky being able to rinse your toothbrush.

Breakfast was very disappointing, tiny plate and had to be kept waiting a number of times, firstly no cutlery, then had to wait for sausage and bacon as there were none, then went back for orange juice but no glasses, then no pastries. I appreciate it was busy, but seemed really under staffed, and to not have the basics ready and constantly topped up meant I had to keep getting back up off my table multiple times to get aspects of my breakfast.

Staff were friendly and I didn't want to complain there and then when they already looked overworked and fed up.

Queue for check-in was very long, took around 20 minutes after a long drive. My booking was for 2 rooms, both were meant to have king beds and a sofa bed in, one of the rooms was a double which I ended up having to share with my 19 year old son… and he hogs the bed! Every time I wasn’t to reception there was a large queue so I didn’t have time to try and get the matter resolved.
