I didn’t like this property at all last time I stayed. It’s best feature is the unbeatable convenience practically next door to Piccadilly station. But neither the breakfast nor the room are good. The Hilton at Deansgate has the benefit of awesome views, an intriguing design and a good health club. And the HGI at Old Trafford is much newer, with better customer service and breakfast IMO.
I have seen some very good rates recently here especially on Sunday evenings.
Manchester is one of my favourite cities in the UK for a short break.
