A Few Minor Issues
great locationclean facilitiesmissing soapused toilet roll
The location worked well! I found a McDonald's and a shopping center very close to the hotel. The provided facilities were also nice and clean.
I noticed there was only one partially used toilet roll in the room. I had to request another one! The body wash dispenser in the shower was empty too. I only discovered this after I started showering.

i found the value for money excellent. the breakfast included many options. the location next door to the trafford centre proved very convenient for shopping and dining. i appreciated the easy access to nearby attractions.
the absence of hand soap in the dispenser in the bathroom was a noticeable oversight. this is an essential item, especially considering current hygiene standards. i hope they address such issues quickly.
