Saschas reception I Saschas reception II

 

This hotel mostly sucks, but with a good corporate rate, a gym and being very close to work I find it handy and have found myself routinely booking here when I'm working in Manchester.

Why does it mostly suck?

  • TV remotes regularly broken, batteryless or missing.
  • Bathrooms regularly leak.
  • Free wifi (although free) is very unstable.
  • TV's have bad connections to the rooms ariel sockets resulting in bad reception for a lot of channels.
  • Air conditioning mostly a whisper and when you really need it, it's useless.

Quirks?

  • Try and find the stairs from the 5th floor to the 4th floor, go on try.

Good stuff?

  • When the wifi is working, it's available pretty much on every floor now, and it's free.
  • Breakfast buffet is good, aside from the stewed coffee plonked on (not every) table before you get there.
  • The gym is cheap (although small, only 4 running machines, and the swimming pool is rather small too). 

That's all I can think of for now. Back there next week, so I may update again then.
