Lovely little hotel in Manchester, and most importantly for us, it's conveniently close to the…read moreairport. We stayed here for two nights over the last few weeks - once on our way into England, and once on our way out - and both times were seamless.
I booked ahead online, via booking.com, and would say the prices are reasonable. It's not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. The whole place was very clean and well kept, all staff we interacted with were very friendly, it's equipped with a large (and beautiful) bar/restaurant, and there is even a big outdoor patio space in their courtyard to enjoy.
Our room had one queen size bed, a big chair, standard tv/desk, and a good size bathroom. It was literally spick and span, spotless. Almost to a fault because you could really smell the cleaning products/bleach in the bathroom.
What was very important for us is to have a pack-n-play (or "cot" as they call it in England) in our room for our 10-month old son. I saw online ahead of time that they provide these upon request, so I called to reserve one and lo and behold there was one waiting for us in the room upon arrival. Plus it was very nice quality, looking pretty much unused. So, so appreciated!
On our first night in, we ordered room service. The menu has a decent amount of options, but is a little on the pricey end if you ask me. We both opted for a burger, and it was so-so. Most importantly was the tasty wine and beer that we'd ordered as well. Very speedy delivery to the room as well. And on our second night in, we dined in the restaurant - Brasserie Blanc. What a lovely experience! The decor and atmosphere is truly delightful. Very open and spacious, with a glass ceiling in one area. The booths and seating are very pretty, with different colored couches and chairs, made up of well-match patterns and colors. The menu here is an expansion of the room service. I throughly enjoyed my fish curry!
Other last things to note: there is an airport shuttle, however it's not for everyone. I believe you have to have some special kind of booking in order to use it, and it also only runs beginning at 9am. So that was a bit of a bummer having to order taxis both ways.
