loud air conditioninglimited breakfast
The room was quite small and seemed dated. The air conditioning unit was excessively loud at night. It made sleeping difficult. Breakfast also lacked variety. The options seemed limited and uninspired.

filling breakfastconvenient location
The provided hot breakfast was quite tasty. The hotel location is near Manchester United stadium and also close to Salford Quays. I did found it very convenient.
the location proved great for visiting the lowry theatre. i also found the late check out and ability to park all day beneficial to my plans.
the room was very noisy. i could hear a low level bassy grumbling sound from the wall from late in the evening onward. it was a real struggle to get any sleep that night
