“The Townhouse Manchester occupies a Grade II listed building, giving it immediate historical appeal. I noted the hotel's refurbishment of its 101 Bar and Brasserie with interest-on-site dining using local produce always catches my attention. Its central location near the Arndale shopping center and other attractions makes it quite convenient, though some rooms seem to need attention. I appreciate that it welcomes pets, but it's the extensive meeting facilities catering to business needs that stand out to me.”

the room was spacious and very clean. the bathroom included both a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower. i found a lot of storage space available in the room. the location is quite convenient for accessing nearby amenities.

i had to wait unnecessarily to be dealt with at check-in. the person helping me did not acknowledge the wait. the request for a city view room was not honored.
