This is well located for getting into Manchester city centre. We were there for a show at Home and it was a 25 minute walk - fine for us. The building itself seemed quiet enough and the traffic noise, although noticeable, was not disturbing. Residents, or their visitors, seem to have a game where they switch round the lift buttons, which was interesting and I'd imagine could be a bit annoying. However, we didn't actually meet anybody in the building at all (including the host). Getting a car into and out of the car park is a bit convoluted due to having to use a remote control to open the gate both on arrival (you need to get it first) and when leaving (you need to open the gate and then drop off the remote and get the car out before the gate closes again). All in all, it did it's job - but I think next time we may just book in at the Premier Inn.
