“The quirky weather-themed décor sets this hotel apart. Near Piccadilly Gardens and the Northern Quarter, it places you in the heart of Manchester's nightlife. Jamboree's modern brasserie menu and lively bar contribute to its energetic atmosphere; just be sure to request a room away from the lifts if you prefer quiet.”

The room had plenty of space. extras like a kettle with tea and coffee. The location was close to the train station.

I was disappointed. The AC unit in the room made a lot of noise. I asked to be moved, but staff said nothing was available in the same size. A receptionist told me I would have to check out, bring my luggage to the foyer, and hope a similar room became available, though I was still traveling.
