Great place to stay. Close to Manchester Picadilly and very easy to find. Every where we needed to go to was within walking distance. including the o2 Apollo, which we went to 2 nights in a row.
The staff at reception we're very welcoming and friendly. The room value was second to none for the cost. Free coffee, free ice cream and a free to use gym with decent cardio machines.
We'll try and stay at another COVE when we're next in a city with one.
Thanks!
