middling stay with notable issues

broken tv remote faulty air conditioning
the staff were friendly enough, i suppose.
the room, a 'standard room' i believe, wasn't exactly what i expected. the tv remote didn't work, so i had to get up every time i wanted to change the channel. and the air conditioning kept switching itself off, quite annoying indeed.

Satisfactory City Stay

transport links nice bathroom twin room sealed windows
The hotel is close to the train station and other transport links. This made getting around the area quite easy. The bathroom was nice (especially the shower).
I requested a twin room, but it was not available. there was no fresh air because of sealed windows. I felt a bit closed in.

clean room superb location
I liked my premium king room. it was larger than i expected and very clean. the location worked well. It was only five minutes from piccadilly station! but also only five minutes to arndale centre.
noise cancellation between rooms wasn't ideal, i could easily hear a hairdryer from next door through the connecting door.
