My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although clean, were outdated and had a lingering cigarette smell. Unfortunately, one of the elevators was out of order, and there were noisy groups disrupting the night's peace. The lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortably warm during the night, affecting my sleep quality.

The 'club' room, despite the close proximity to the outside bar seating area, was perfectly fresh and clean, equipped with a large fan for those hot days. The room was overall clean and comfortable. Service from the attentive staff was great; they were very helpful and pleasant, although not entirely knowledgeable about the immediate area. The location was excellent, offering views of the stadium and within walking distance to the Lowry Gallery, shopping mall, and the Imperial War Museum. Dining had its ups and downs, with some issues like green scrambled eggs but complemented by excellent service. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel rooms were clean, and the staff were really helpful. However, my room was only made up for one person, and it was situated right above a function room where a noisy gathering took place in the morning with loud music. I would highly recommend lowering the bass for a more comfortable stay.

The hotel offers nice Quay views but looks a little run down. The service was lacking, with no apology for the fire alarm incident. The location is convenient but demands high prices due to its proximity to Old Trafford. The buffet breakfast was a good deal, but you need to book in advance for the best value.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with great views of the Quays, but could use a refurbishment to enhance the value for money. The service was efficient but basic, suitable for a three-star establishment. The location is perfect for a tranquil stay near Salford Quays and close to various dining options and attractions. The dining experience had its shortcomings, including limited options and slow service. Overall, the hotel provides a decent stay with some room for improvement.
