The staff on reception and in other departments are amazing, so very friendly and welcoming! The room had a few bits that perhaps needed a little light maintenance yet extremely clean. The hotel seems to cater for all needs and nothing too much trouble. Right on Salford Quays and we visited for the Corrie experience which is literally 5 minutes away! Great tour BTW if you’re a lifelong fan like me. Also don’t miss the imperial war museum, sad, interactive, but definitely worth a visit and free! Tram into centre of Manchester in 10 minutes too, although over two nights we didn’t have time, due to lots to see in Salford quays media city! Hotel car parking was easy once we knew where it was, multi storey near co-op. Would definitely stay here again rather than in Manchester and we come from near Bath so long journey but overall so worth it. We have been to May hotels all over the world and the staff are always the most important element of the experience and the staff at this hotel are excellent!

Hotel starting to feel a little bit tired and in need of a refresh. Staff excellent as usual. Parking relatively convenient although not sure if there is an offline way to pay for those without a smartphone.

From the moment we arrived the service was exceptional. Reception ,bar and breakfast staff all went above and beyond in making us feel welcome guests. Nothing was too much trouble and all done with a smile. Will definitely book again when we are in Manchester. The location was very good and car park is just around the corner. Lots of attractions near bye including sports grounds, galleries and museums

Booked a king room executive for £199.00 over 6 months in advance. On check in at 2 pm they told me I had been downgraded to the same room, but one floor lower and the rate had been reduced £20.00. No problem. On arriving at room it had only a double bed. Not happy. Told hotel was sold out. Only solution was to refund my stay and I could go elsewhere. On a night the city is sold out. Deal agent claimed she did not know the hotels in area all sold out. Laughable. Complained to duty manager who offered a 20% discount, but could do nothing else. Told again I could get a full refund and leave. The reason for the downgrade changed with each person I spoke to. I felt a 50% refund was reasonable. So we endured a terrible nights sleep at top rates. One star.

This hotel is always a delight to stay in. It’s perfect for the Manchester Marathon and other city even highlights as it’s only a short metro ride from the town centre.

The room was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay including a fridge and tea and coffee.

Breakfast is served buffet style and always has a great and varied choice

We absolutely loved staying here, we were here for Manchester marathon and the hotel was just what we needed and more for our stay. Great location, a short walk from Old Trafford where the race started, but also has a tram stop close by to get into the centre. The hotel was so clean and well kept, the staff were so lovely and helpful. Our room was really spacious, clean, great amenities. The breakfast was also probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had, every hotel does similar things as you’d expect, but the food here was hot, perfectly cooked, full of choice and just very delicious. If you’re visiting Manchester I would recommend staying here 100%!!

Only downside was the breakfast quality. Due to an incredibly quiet day with hardly any guests the cooked breakfast offerings were not really edible! Hard bacon, concrete fried eggs - basically all sat there for hours. The breakfast staff were lovely and lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt replaced but the cooked was not really an option.

After spending over £200 on the room booking (£140), refundable deposit (£50 - pay on arrival and refunds 3-5 working days) and parking (£11), I was left very disappointed and expected much better customer service. I've heard bad reviews before, but I had never experienced anything myself. I will now avoid Holiday Inn hotels and choose to stay at other hotels, even if it costs more. We were not aware of a £50 additional deposit to pay on arrival, and some may not be fortunate enough to pay this.

We first entered our room to find hairs on our bed. I then went down to reception and was told by the receptionist that housekeeping would be with us straight away. I had another conversation with the duty manager, who requested that I email pictures. There was no urgency to this request, so I thought I would do this when I returned home and not spoil our experience further.

Two hours had gone by since check-in and we had no visit from housekeeping to change the bed. I returned to the reception, this time far more assertive. The duty manager said the housekeeping request was cancelled as I had not sent any pictures. Firstly, what has happened to the customer always being right and secondly, why did they not come up to the room and take pictures for housekeeping in the first instance, if this was needed. I find this absolutely illogical.

Anyway, after this fiasco and stress, 2:30 hours after check-in to our £200 stay, housekeeping arrived and they changed the bed.

The hotel looked great from the outside however, when we arrived at our room there was issue with the cistern running constantly. Despite raising this issue twice, no-one came to fix it. The cistern ran continually and noisily all night. It was so loud it kept us awake. We spoke to the receptionist the next morning who shrugged her shoulders and said they’d look into it. Very disappointing.

Check in was at 2pm but there were no rooms available. We checked in during the evening and the room was basic. The toilet seat was broken and the room was tired looking.

We ate in the restaurant at 8.30pm and I asked for a vodka and Diet Coke and was given a Diet Coke. I asked again for a vodka and was told that it was in the glass but it didn’t seem so as it was only a single. There was actually no liquid in the glass, only ice. The waitress took the bottle of Coke and the glass away and came back with the Diet Coke in the glass and said it had vodka in it . I couldn’t taste any.

The meal was very average. My husband had a ribeye steak which was gristly. I had a Malaysian curry which tasted like a microwave meal. We would not eat here again.
