I've stayed at the Deansgate Hilton lots recently - maybe 12 times in the last 3 months. Upgraded as a Diamond every time from a standard room to Deluxe, Exec, Exec Plus and Suite at various points.

It's always been quiet in the rooms - I've stayed on most floors between 17 and 21 and my only real gripe is the lack of plug sockets near to the beds. I like the EL even if the nibbles disappear early - I often don't get in from the client office until about 7.30pm so it's a bit of a rush. The staff are usually really good, and the restaurant staff tend to be exemplary in my experience.
