Noisy, Smelly, Tatty Hotel Stuck In The 1970's

Advantages: Close To Manchester Airport
Disadvantages: Too Many To List, Needs A refurb, Needs A Good Clean, Noisy

BACKGROUND ******************* Ahh the Britannia Country House Hotel, a couple of miles from Manchester airport, the perfect place to stay the night before jeting off on our honeymoon, thought my new wife and I in August 2006. We booked online and only paid £64 for a double room with champagne on arrival, and it looked so modern and the name country house just added to the picture in our heads what a perfect start to our honeymoon. How wrong can ...
...We arrived on a Saturday afternoon having got married on the Thursday and stayed a couple of nights at the hotel we had got married in, and as we parked on the large car park to the front and walked up to the front we noticed there was a wedding going on and they were having some photo's taken outside, the exterior looked very nice an fairly modern and the gardens were nice. As we entered the building though everything changed, the decor inside ...

Review of Britannia Country House Hotel, Manchester

Wonderful Worsley

Advantages: Good Location, Good Quality
Disadvantages: Nobe Really

...research we booked The Marriott Worsley Park and Country Club via Superbreaks for £98 including breakfast. The hotel is a 3 star 158 room hotel and is very easy to find, being located just off the junction 13 of the M60 in a relatively quiet, pleasant residential area, with plenty of on-site parking. There is also a well equipped gym, pool and 18 hole golf course. On arriving at the hotel we were greeted by a very friendly concierge who took our ...
...The girl on reception was very friendly by after completing the usual check in forms she told us the room wasn’t quite ready yet even though it was 2:30 (check in time is 2:00 onwards). We didn’t mind too much as there are some comfy sofa in reception which we relaxed on for about 20 minutes watching the bridesmaid waiting for rest of the party of the wedding that was taking place at the hotel. Once our room was ready the concierge took our bags ...

Review of Worsley Park Marriott Hotel and Country Club, Manchester

Manchester Airport Marriott Hotel

Advantages: Just of the M56 - convenient
Disadvantages: Just of the M56 - noisy

...a complimentary shuttle to Manchester Airport and they also offer "Park & Fly" packages (around £8 per day, I think) so you can leave your car there while you jet off... For food & dring, there's firstly the "Lobby Bar" that's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and you can pick up a fresh Costa Coffee or sandwiches throughout the day (I had a nice three cheese panini). Also, "Mendelssohns Restaurant " is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast ...
...from the nearby motorway and airport was a bit disturbing. Nevermind. The staff were all very helpful, from the fellow on reception when I checked in, the telephone operator lady who helped me connect to their wifi network, the fellow who delivered my Marriott Burger (yum yum), to the maitre d' and waitresses at breakfast. A1's all round. Rates and availability vary, and Marriott do lots of special offers, so check out Expedia or your favourite ...

Review of Airport Marriott Hotel, Manchester

Not very footballers wives any more

Advantages: Convenient for Man U & Salford Quays
Disadvantages: Looking very dated

I used to live about 5 miles from this hotel and regularly visited the cinema next door which has sadly been closed. I considered it as a possible wedding night venue when I got married 8 years ago so at that time I would have rated it quite highly. We didn't stay there because there was a Man U home game that day and the place was full so I went back with a sense of expectations. The location is within crawling distance of Old Trafford. In its ...
...believe but these days the tired decor and lack of gym mean the away teams are more likely to be out at the Worsely Marriott or another higher standard hotel. Firstly I should set the scene with some background info. I booked the room through Lastminute.com and got a great rate of about £69 for a Quayside room. It was a room only rate. Man U were obviously away that weekend as the price doubles on match weekends. This isn't a hotel to choose for ...

Review of Copthorne Hotel Manchester, Manchester

Over priced average hotel

Advantages: Great Location, friendly staff
Disadvantages: over priced.

...so I went for the Thistle as it was alot cheaper than other hotels with a pool, jacuzzi and sauna. I paid £79 for one night at the weekend. We arrived about 1.30pm and although it states check in is at 2 o'clock we thought we would try a bit earlier. The staff on reception were very friendly and checking in that bit early was not a problem. The reception is quite elegant looking with security on the door of an evening and a restaurant and bar, which ...
...Overall I dont think the Thistle is worth the money they charge especially as sometimes the rooms can be over £110! The rooms are very average in need of some refurbishment, if your only after a basic hotel in a great location and are willing to pay the money for it then the Thistle is for you. If I was only looking for basic facilities as this hotel has, I personally would look to pay a bit less in another hotel. ...
