Up your game.
Check in was good the room is pretty clean and comfortable. The breakfast services and provision needs a major uplift. Staff with sad gloomy faces. Food options very limited. There was no mushrooms and the hush brown was very suggy. 30 minutes before end of breakfast and they had already run out of food options.

Last minute getaway
We booked last minute as we were already in manchester. Great price for 3 of us with breakfast included. The room was a decent size for 3 of us and would stay again with it being next door to the trafford centre.
