Stayed in a room with single beds and both were very hard and caused both of us to have a disturbed nights sleep. I an used to a firm mattress but this was way too hard to sleep on. Have stayed here before and the double beds are OK but the singles are very poor.
Yes, clean room with a fridge very comfortable bed & pillows very nice stay, staff in hotel very polite & nice not to much trouble for any of them, Micheal in the bar who served us was really nice, and served us some food
Yes very nice stay 👍

The room was lovely. Staff were brilliant. Excellent location for the Lowry
Fairly standard buffet breakfast, coffee machine wasn’t working but staff member offered to get a drink from another part of the hotel for us. An example of service above and beyond.
