Dyllan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

My welcome was excellent, the lady checking me in took good care of me & when I said I have Coeliac Disease and cannot eat anything contaminated with gluten, she took great care to show me a card that I simply had to complete and put on my table when having dinner or breakfast & the team would ensure I was provided suitable food. The dinner menu didn't appeal but luckily the pub next door had a good gluten free menu so I had dinner there. My room was reasonably apponted and everythign was where I needed it, or so I thought. In the morning preparing for my day I stepped into the shower washed my hair and reached for the bodywash, much as I pumped the bottle it had run dry and I was left with shampoo to use as a body wash - not the end of the world but anoying as I had no choice. Having finished my all over shampoo I completed my dietary card and headed off to th elift, only 1 of the 2 were working so I joined on the 1st floor then proceded to visit 5,4,3 & 2 before squeezing out of the now cramped lift to have breakfast. I went in, nobody to greet me, no staff in site so I found a table & went to get coffee with my card sat on my table. Nobody came to check the card, I got some hopefully safe food & ate, several staff noticed the card & actively swerved my table! I think the dietary card is a great idea but the lack of any staff engagement makes it a wasted gesture. Checkout was fine, I just wished all the staff were as customer focussed as others are.

Room was very small give it was meant to be a family room. Breakfast was crowded with hardly any available seating. Half the cutlery or foods weren’t available. Staff were initially pre occupied speaking to each other rather than checking us in on arrival.

The rooms are ok just need more attention to detail with regards to dirt carpets and lack of cleaning of full length mirror. Breakfast is ok, crap tea/coffee, scrambled eggs is not made with fresh eggs, tasted awful. Staff are friendly and nice.

Staff were good Except for then nighttime manager when he lied to me, eventually though he did refund me I’m a bit concerned why I’ve paid £50 more than advertised Room was good except for big pink stain on carpet

Perfect for what we needed, we were flying from Manchester Airport early the next morning so we stayed at the Trafford centre location and had tea at the Trafford Centre which was only a five minute walk away, there was plenty of parking available too.

4/10 Fair

The room was not particularly clean- with items of rubbish left under the sofa bed & stains on the carpet. The biggest problem was that the heating wasn't working- my son had to sleep in his tracksuit & used his coat as an additional cover. Very disappointing.

Staff were lovely, first rooms we were allocated hadnt been cleaned. We reported and got moved to other rooms. Then our heating wasnt working. Eventualy got it working, then woke next morning to being freezing as it wasnt working again. Breakfast was cold

2/10 Poor

Queue for check-in was very long, took around 20 minutes after a long drive. My booking was for 2 rooms, both were meant to have king beds and a sofa bed in, one of the rooms was a double which I ended up having to share with my 19 year old son… and he hogs the bed! Every time I wasn’t to reception there was a large queue so I didn’t have time to try and get the matter resolved.

Room was alright but I have to paid extra for the hot breakfast which was terrible, no taste, overcooked. There was no option for 1 room / 4 (family) and no intercontinental room.
