Who turned out the lights?
Review of Holiday Inn Express Manchester East, Manchester by
xxfibeexx
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. ...

sachas hotel
Review of Britannia Sachas Hotel, Manchester by
katie22008m
Advantages: good price,great location
Disadvantages: no window
****Sachas hotel- Manchester****
I booked this hotel last minute as i had a job interview in Manchester and needed somewhere quite cheap ,that was also near the centre.
**Location/Getting there**
This hotel is located in Tibb street which is a 2 minute walk from Piccadily Gardens or 10 minutes away from Chorlton street bus station.The Train station is a little bit further away say maybe a twenty minute walk but i don't think that this is that ... ...and this goes to quite a few places.You could also get a taxi to the hotel but i am not sure what parking is like if you were to take your own car.
**Reception/staff**
Since i had never been to Manchester before i phoned and asked the staff for directions -they were very nice and helped me out.When i got there i think i got the same women(was a few days later).Staff member was lovely ,you felt like she actually liked her job/was being genuine.Checking ...

Ruling in Manchester now too?
Review of Britannia Hotel Manchester, Manchester by
scuba_angel
Advantages: reasonable price if booked in advance
Disadvantages: none really
As with my previous recent reviews this forms a part of my need to get a life ethos, and even though I live a short distance from Manchester on a planned night out on the town I decided it was better worth my time staying over than drunkely seeking the nightbus home. So armed with my trusty cashback paying link to a hotelbooking site I found this one for the night.
I paid £50 for a doubleroom with no food included, the hotels standard rate is around ... ...a few days before I wanted to stay.
The hotel itself is seconds from Picadilly Gardens which is the location of a large bus station and a tram stop which runs between the two main train stations, it is also a few minutes walk from the main Bus Station in the city where the National Express coaches stop.
The hotel has a couple of bars open to none guests as well as a full complement of resturants (none guests need to book tables if they wish to ...

Manchester Hotel
Review of Holiday Inn Express Manchester - Salford Quays, Manchester by
bekibek08
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. ...

Paris Hilton? Manchester Hilton!
Review of Hilton Manchester Airport, Manchester by
hhuk
Advantages: clean close to airport
Disadvantages: poor shower not the comfiest of beds & pillows
You cannot miss the hilton as you head towards the airport terminals. As you head to T1&3, it is on the right and you just come off the slip road instead of following the road up to the Terminals. The parking is secure but finding a space can be quite tricky. The lobby looks very smart and so the staff who are very willing to help.
Our room was just a basic double and was just under £80 for one night. The windows did an excellent job of keeping ... ...could not hear noise from anywhere else. My only disappointment was the shower as it had very little power. The room was clean and nicely furnished with a large tv.
For the ladies i would recommend taking your own hair dryer to get the best results.
Our room was booked with a flight from Germany with Last Minute and we had a few problems over the payement im sure if this was done in England there would not be any problems.
You are close enough ...
