I really appreciated how close the hotel was to the lowry theatre. It was an easy walk. the room was also very clean! and spacious. I liked that they tried to put our rooms close together as we had booked two rooms. limited parking was available and it was free, a great bonus.
The taps on the bath were quite difficult to turn. It would be great if they could be updated for easier use.
