Cool decor and cool music- ranging from New Order to alternative . Menu was legit British pub bar food - pies, burgers, fish and chips etc. But lemme tell ya their haddock fish and chips was one of de best I've ever had to far. A large more than generous portion battered and fried perfectly. Imma steak fry cut girl and their chips were delicious ! - thick cut, the way I like them and fried with a delicate crispy outside. We did have to ask for some ketchup. I thoroughly enjoyed the side of mushy peas- seasoned lightly, partially mush with partial full size peas. The steak and ale pie was delicious. Drizzled the yummy gravy all over. Order food at bar, they'll bring food to your table when ready. Great food, reasonable pricing for generous portions! Cool vibes

NQ never ceases to amaze!…read more "Lets goto the new pub round the corner from where we live" retorted a friend when quizzed on the P of A for the night. I was intrigued and then a flashback. On a particular night the week before I witnessed a 2am refurb going on, builders were hard at work transforming this particular building into something very appealing. As we walked in a week later, Abel Heywood was born in our reality. What an establishment! Let's get one thing straight, I love the NQ. But, as I've mentioned numerous times in previous reviews, Thomas street on a late Saturday night has begun (unfortunately) to resemble (much like somewhere like Printworks or Deansgate locks) a George Romero film from the 70's. That's exactly how we felt driving through it on our way to Abel. Now Turner street on the other hand has always been my favourite. It's that street in the George Romero film the Zombies haven't discovered yet. So we quietly parked there and tiptoed into the Abel avoiding attention of the Thomas street crowd. And wow, what an oasis. Calming music plentiful booths and comfy couches to sit on and timely bar service with friendly staff. The drinks range I've been told is fairly decent and there's a restaurant and a boutique hotel on the first and second floor respectively. Most of all the chilled out vibe on a saturday night was a clear winner. The seating booths are super comfy with heaters lined in between, which is likely to be a God send in the upcoming winter chill.

I have stayed in normal rooms and most recently the club floor. Very comfy beds and the pillow spray will have your drifting off before you know it. The restroom boasts The White Company, London amenities. Good size tub and dual sinks. Shower is a stand-alone corner style with sliding doors, so if your 6'+ you will bang your elbows and knees. The club rooms also have separate sleeping quarters and a nice couch, desk and table with chairs. The room has a couple large flat screen TV's with a good amount of channels. There is an ironing board, small refrigerator, hot water heater and coffee machine. Everyday they drop off a couple cookies and chocolates. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which offers room service and plenty of meeting rooms and banquet halls. With the club floor access, I had access to the club lounge where you could have a variety of beverages and free breakfast. I believe from 18:00-20:00 they have appetizers and free alcoholic beverages available. Nice views of the city from the 8th floor lounge. Tip: Join the IHG rewards to earn night stays and access to the club lounge for FREE drinks and appetizers. Pleasant staff and you can even review your bill and check out on your TV before you leave.

I wanted to spend the weekend shopping and eating and Indigo is located near millions of options. For shopping, across the street from a huge mall as well as Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. Better yet, a five minute walk to the North Quarter, where there are lots of cool shops and galleries. Tons of food options, even the Spinningfields area is only a 15 min walk. The hotel itself was very clean, rooms new and comfortable and incredibly quiet given the location. Seemed like it had a great restaurant but never tried it. Highly recommended.

The all you can eat breakfasts that premier inn offer are the best I have had.

I need to stay here again very soon.

The best thing about this hotel was the breakfast in the morning, normally its a buffet but due to…read morecovid restrictions its table service only. I placed my order and about ten minutes later it arrived, freshly cooked, piping hot and beautifully laid out in the plate; all for 8.99. The room had a reasonable size TV and free wifi is an essential these days. They have an arrangement with the NCP car park round the corner for discounted rates. The staff were very helpful, in the evening I needed directions to get to This and That (you can read my review here on Yelp) and the lady printed out a map for me to follow. The duty manager in the morning ensured a smooth checkout and served the aforementioned breakfast beautifully. The only thing I would improve is to empower the staff more like in the best hotels, when I arrived after a long drive from London there was a problem with my reservation so I was hanging around in the lobby for half an hour while this was sorted when all I wanted to do was freshen up. When this has happened to me previously receptionists have said just go up to the room and relax while we get this sorted.

I ate once in the restaurant downstairs - it made me feel sick - really not nice at all, stale and microwaved overpriced food. Breakfast buffet is decent size, but again scrambled eggs are hard chewy and flavourless, sausages taste cheap, tomatoes are rock hard. The area itself isn't the nicest in Manchester. I've always got a taxi from the train station, but I've seen a bus stop nearby. The only pluses are the customer service, staff are always attentive and friendly - and the water heat and pressure in the shower is good.

I decided to stay at Park Inn by Radisson Manchester City Centre before getting an early morning…read moretrain to use my RadissonRewards points, This is one of two Radisson branded hotels within the city centre (There is one at the airport too), One of my favourite hotels I've ever stayed in was The Edwardian which is part of the Radisson Collection (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-edwardian-manchester-manchester), so being the other Radisson in the city the Park Inn has a lot of living up to do. It is much cheaper, I managed to get a night here for 38,000 reward points which sadly didn't include Breakfast, generally, it would have been pretty cheap and worked out between £60-70 a night (Possibly down to the VAT cuts by the UK government to help recover from COVID pandemic?) Before my stay, I received an email detailing the precautions which they are taking ahead of the pandemic - The restauraunt is closed and they are currently only serving a continental breakfast in grab and go bags delivered to the room at 6:30 am (I hate how they can't offer a cooked breakfast again this makes no sense as the majority of hotels at least offer room service) - Mini Bars locked or removed (This is the most bizarre COVID precaution I've seen - I can't keep milk or other items in a fridge in my room but I can use a shared fridge at reception?) - They only clean rooms after each guest or every 6 days if you're staying longer unless you ask them too (surely during a pandemic they should be aiming to clean more frequently rather than less?) The hotel was clean as you'd expect and it's also in a great location, it's next to a bus stop for the 135 and 41 and also a 24-hour garage which stocks essentials. It's also a couple of minutes away from Manchester city centre, a great nightlife scene with the Printworks nearby as well as Manchester Arena and Victoria Station, I also have to note I find it rather amusing that despite being called the Park Inn, there are no car parking facilities other than sharing the nearby NCP Arena car park. They had a good amount of lifts which is essential right now due to social distancing, with 8 floors (including two basement) , they moved pretty quick too. The only problem was one of the lifts had an awful smell. I was pleased with the look of my room, it had everything I needed (apart from extra pillows which they delivered on request), there were also a good amount of tables around the room including a dining table, bedside table and desk. It was a little dark but they did have numerous lamps and a light around the bed which I loved. Even with this though, it still seemed rather dark in the room, a light directly above the bed would have been much better to add much-needed brightness into that area of the room. The bed was comfortable, the pillows were fine albeit they were rather small, the blinds seem to block out the majority of the light. There was a good amount of plug sockets including USB's which is again essential for me. The hotel seemed quiet from exterior noise but interior wise, you could regularly hear the slamming of doors and shouting in the corridors going into the night, which was even more frustrating given the fact my room was towards the end of the corridor. I could even hear someone's phone ring and then proceed to answer the phone. It seemed to go on in the early hours of the morning. The staff in the hotel seemed friendly, they also had no problem bringing my milk to me which I stored in their fridge. They were happy to show me to my room, show me around and answer any questions. They did an incredible job dealing with a difficult customer who was being confrontational and shouting in the lobby, credit to the lady for keeping calm and professional throughout his abuse to her and demanding she be sacked to her manager - Radisson if you're reading, she did a terrific job and made my stay better. She's the type of employees you want in your team. In the morning, I was able to pick my Breakfast up from reception as they forgot to take it to my room, the breakfast bag was basic and sadly didn't include much gluten-free, I did get yoghurt and a fruit juice and a pastry for my friend, considering the limited facilities right now it wasn't too bad. I did sleep well, obviously, the corridor noise was a distraction as mentioned above. I did have a rather enjoyable stay and found this much better than some other Radisson hotels I've stayed in which are of a higher category, while I wouldn't say this is a luxury hotel, it is a nice and comfortable hotel in a great city-centre location with really low room-rates, for the price it offers a lot more than other more expensive hotels, the staff also being happy and always to help and no card holds makes it much better than me. 4* - An extra star based on value for money and the other factors mentioned benefit into this.

Granted it is slightly outside the town centre, but nothing to complain about at all. The night I stayed, Jay-Z was playing across the street so I had the pleasure of having breakfast with lots of people who had pink hair - I assume they were his backing dancers! Back to the hotel... it has a delightful pool and spa which is I believe available to all guests. I was up early and in the steam. The Nu Spa supplies free towels, a reasonable sized locker room and powerful showers. Oh how I love a power shower. Honestly, that is pretty much a deal-breaker for me when it comes to my affairs with hotels. If I don't leave the shower feeling like I have been peed on by Niagara's little bro. I'm done!

We didn't have much time to do anything in Manchester, but I was able to squeeze in a little walk in the area - saw Piccadilly Garden, Chinatown, the Alan Turing Memorial in a nice little park and walked through the colorful streets of the Gay Village neighborhood. Lots of dining options near the hotel, and a Tesco for big bottled waters (for us Americans, haha).
