Who turned out the lights?

Advantages: clean, good standard rooms
Disadvantages: Not central, fiddly lighting, and the staff were having a bad day, breakfast

...room at the Express by Holiday Inn. Here's where my troubles began Despite calling me Fiona on the phone and having me spell out my full name when they took my debit card details the e-mail confirmation bore a different initial. No problems I thought, I have driving lisence and anyway my card details can be checked. I set off from home for the six hour journey and all went well until I was within spitting distance and then I got lost, very lost! ...
...as you would expect from Holiday Inn. I thought it was pricey for what we got, I paid £89 and to be fair it wasn't very different from a travel lodge or premier inn. Would I stay there again? Hmmm, I guess if there was no comparable but cheaper alternatives. A resounding OK is how I'd sum up the experience. ...

Review of Holiday Inn Express Manchester East, Manchester

Manchester Hotel

Advantages: Godd value
Disadvantages: none

Holiday Inn Express Salford Quays is situated in a very nice location on the waterfront, my room looked out over the renovated canals and docklands which was good. We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who was very helpful in giving us local information and directions. All the staff were helpful and friendly ( even when we managed to lock ourselves out of our room!) The room was modern and very clean with plenty of coffee, cups , towels ...
...nice dining room, and good length of hours on the Sunday morning in which to get it. Location-wise, it's about 14 minutes on the Metrolink tram from Manchester Piccadilly station on the Eccles line, and from there about a 4-minute walk. Taxi from the city cost us £10 late on Saturday evening, as the Metrolink finishes at 12.30am. Overall I would say it was good value for money and would definatley stay again. ...

Bargain Rooms in a Fab Location

Advantages: Great location, cheap parking, great price
Disadvantages: No luxuries, all the extras cost a lot

...not a lot, but the Travelodge make no pretence about this being the reason why their prices are so low. They give you a room from 3pm to midday the following day and you can pay for any extras you want, including earlier check-in (£10), later check-out (£10), breakfast (£5.99 online or £7.50 at check-in, per person). We didn't take any of these options, so can't comment on the value for money, but considering there are so many places to eat in the ...
...though. Like I said, the Travelodge keeps their prices low by removing all the 'frills', so don't expect to find toiletries (other than one mini bar of soap), a hair-dryer, an iron or even a phone! We were also only supplied with one hand towel and one bath towel, so I would recommend asking for another at reception when you check-in to avoid problems when you get out of the shower and find nothing to dry yourself with! You can ask at reception as ...

Review of Travelodge

The Greatstone Hotel fantastic value for money

Advantages: fantastic value £20 all rooms ( no extras) perfect location
Disadvantages: No En- Suites In the middle of refurbishment

Having recently stayed at this hotel in Stretford Manchester I was lucky to get a room as the hotel is full most nights. Although the room I occupied was not en-suite it fulfilled my needs for a one night stay. The room was immaculate though small. It was spotlessly clean with obviously new decor, fittings and flat screen T.V. There were no tea facilities in the room but as much coffee and tea as I needed provided for free. The hotel was so convenient ...
...walk away. A nice little bar and large car parking facilities (free to guests) was just what I needed. In my oppinion where else could I stay for £20 . After reading past reviews that were not very good, I can honestley say that I was very pleasantly surprised and would stay here again. ...

Review of Greatstone Hotel

Greatstone Hotel Stretford - value for money

Advantages: Location and cellar bar. Cost
Disadvantages: It's not the Ritz!!!! [but it's not £200 per night either!

I came across this hotel looking on the Man Utd. site. Fantastic location [3 mins from the ground and 5 mins from Lancashire Cricket. Booked for 2 night s with three friends. This is not a luxury hotel and neither would you expect it to be for £22 per night. However it has been refurbished [ongoing] and is clean, welcoming , warm and friendly. `The jewel in the crown' is a fantastic cellar bar which was open before the match. It is a Pandora's box- ...
...United memorabilia. We couldn't believe that we had never heard of it. Saturday evening was spent in Manchester - ok if you like pushing your way through crowds of young drunken people but we don't! We arrived back at midnight - ready for an early night and were stunned to discover a fantastic [apparently one of the best in the country!] Northern Soul Club- cheap drinks- on till 2 am- brilliant music and a . great crowd. WHAT A NIGHT! We will certainly ...
