Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Hotel is very outdated and needs a huge upgrade. Rooms are tired and old looking. Mould growing in the bathrooms and on the shower head so very bad housekeeping standards. There was even a rip in the duvet. I was moved twice as the first room moved to the A/C didnt work and had a fault message and then got moved into a 'nicer room' not really sure it was much nicer but better than the previous two. Had breakfast the morning, the apple juice was sour and the bacon and sausage had been sat there so long that it was rock solid! Staff at reception were very good and friendly and the location is great for the Arndale but thats the only saving grace! I would recommend staying somewhere else.
