The hotel was very clean and the reception area was stylish. The room itself is exactly what I would expect from a budget Ibis; small, but with a comfy bed and an excellent shower. The only issue for us was the lack of storage.  …

Due to an error with myself I booked an Accessible Double Sweet Room instead of a normal room. I requested a quiet room but none were available as on the Friday night it was busy. The nice gentleman put me in the top floor room (401) which was very quite so I'm grateful he found that room. The stay was very good!!

Poor experience with staff.Initially when I arrived the staff were too busy having their own chat to check me in. I had to interrupt them speaking to get their attention. However, after a fairly pleasant stay I realised on the train home I’d left a fairly expensive charger in my hotel room. Therefore, I emailed to ask if they could hang on to it as I was returning to Manchester a week later. Their response to these emails were shockingly poor as I had to chase most of them up. Apparently no items were found left in my room which I can only assume is that my property has been misplaced due to their laziness or a member of staff has taken it for themselves (I used to work in hospitality and have seen this happen)Wouldn’t return and stay here again
