The Pad is excellent! I stayed for 2 months on a long term let rate. Sian is extremely friendly, helpful, hospitable and accommodating. The check-in and out procedure was very easy and she was available to answer any questions that I had. The room is large, modern, bright and well appointed. The Pad is in a great part of Manchester and is well serviced by public transport. I would not hesitate recommending this to single or couple travellers on both a short term and longer term basis.
