Marvelous location within Manchester's cool Northern Quarter, only a 5-minute walk from the Piccadilly train station. The little room was very clean and well equipped for making a simple meal (2 burner hot plate, pots, utensils), but the room has no decor or anything to make it interesting. Our room's window looked out on an alley with windows in the nearby facing building. The back door of a bar or restaurant is below, so we got a momentary musical of hundreds of crashing empty beer bottles being dumped into the bin at bedtime, but we laughed it off and then it was over. The check-in system is a bit nerve-wracking because the company's policy (yes, it seems to be a company with multiple rooms) is to not give the door codes until just before check-in. That's a little bothersome if you're trying to avoid roaming charges, though once you're outside the property, they'll give you the company's wi-fi code. Mike was also very kind to give us a slightly early check-in. Bottomline: If we came again to explore Manchester and needed a bargain place to stay, we'd probably return.
