I and my long-distance partner stayed for 6 days and we felt right at home from the minute we got to our room. There are plenty of supermarkets within 2 minutes of walking distance, as well as the Arndale, tram system, restaurants, etc. The staff were very kind, helpful and fast acting if there were any issues. The area around the hotel was also pretty nice and peaceful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay, whether you're wanting to explore Manchester itself, or stay in and have a relaxing time.
