Advantages: Location, standard,staff and food and drink Disadvantages: None for me!
I live quite close to the cresta court hotel and also used to work in Altrincham around the corner from the hotel so our company used it a few times for training in the function rooms. I have also stayed here too so I thought I would give readers some information on as many aspects of the hotel as I possibly can!
Location:
Fantastic location depending on why you are wanting to stay in Altrincham. It is literally round the corner from the main shopping street (george street) and is only 15 minutes away from Manchester city centre and 10 minutes from manchester airport. The hotel is also conveniently located for those guest wanting to go into dunham massey or other surrounding areas such as wilmslow or hale barns etc. There are lots of little bars in altrincham including lots of pubs, little cafes and chic little bars and lots ...
Advantages: It has buses and trams in one place Disadvantages: Not many at allfacilities
I have lived in Manchester all my life - right near Manchester Airport and so obviously the surrounding areas are somewhere that I have frequented quite often! One place that I have been to many times is Altrincham. Literally minutes away down the country lanes from myself and the airport and a 20-25 minute bus ride away down the main roads.
I have to be honest and Say that now that I can drive I don't often use the local transport as often and it tends to only be when I need to with no other option available! I did use the Altrincham bus station a lot more when I was younger and actually working in Altrincham but, to be fair there isn't much difference nowadays from nearly 7 years ago!
Location:
The station is located just off the main road which is Stamford New road and it is this main road that the majority of the shops are ...
Advantages: Get's you from place to place! Disadvantages: Evil bus drivers and cold!
INTRODUCTION
I know the chances are that you wont use Altrincham Bus station but I haven't written a review in a while and nobody else has written a review on it. Initially I thought there wouldn't be much to write about but as I've been thinking - several ideas are coming through.
Everything I will mention:-

ALTRINCHAM / AROUND THE STATION
Altrincham is not a very big place, all of the actual shops aren't far from the station. If you don't want to get the bus you can always use the Taxi rank or the Metrolink. The Taxi rank also has some seats, a phone box and that big clock (picture) I used to think was Big Ben ...
