Medieval lighting

The apartment was really nice and spacious, a bonus was the large electric fan in the lounge area. The major downfall of this apartment and the reason I would never stay here again is the lighting in the apartment, I have never stayed in a hotel with such dark and dingy lighting. was horrendous, any period of time spent in the room makes you feel like you are staying in a medieval castle. The hotel, room, staff, facilities are excellent but the poor lighting lets the hotel down.

Great living/staying

Great spot on a great location of Manchester. Staff here were excellent always trying to help with recommendations. It is more like apartment style which is fun and different. They offer any amenities you need but won't bug you everyday for housekeeping. Had everything in the kitchen including dishwasher and washing machine which we didn't expect. Gym was another added luxury with new machines boxing equipment and other unique items for a cool different workout experience as well. Would definitely go back here next time we are in Manchester.
