Reviews
What our customers say about us…
Very clean
“We had no problem getting a table for dinner. The room was very large & comfortable. We had a superior room with nice little touches such as robes & a good coffee machine. We would definitely stay again when flying from Manchester airport.”
Expedia
Exceptional Hotel
“Stayed for 1 night before our flight and it was a good choice as in the morning we were at the airport in 10 minutes. Bedroom was a good size , huge comfortable bed, a tv that actually works and drinks facilities.
We also had dinner here which was priced fairly and good portion size. Breakfast buffet was nice with really good bacon and sausage. What made our short stay even better was the staff , which made us feel very welcome. We’ll be stopping here again in July before our next break. No hesitation in recommending.”

Friendly Staff
“I can honestly say that I was blown away by the staff at this hotel. Reception and bar staff went above and beyond to help my family and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble and all this while dealing with 2 or 3 conferences on the go. I will definitely be returning. Food was delicious and room comfy.”
