Not the cleanest Hotel I've stated in and the reception staff had know clue about the basics such as when breakfast was.
The bistro staff were pleasant and the food was average.
Location wise it was close to a car park which cost £15 for 24 hours, but the ticket machines at the exit where not working and it took considerable time, phone calls and hassle to exit. Overall an average hotel. Very overlooked with snall rooms and some facilities, but very pricey for the deal. It said on the front sign rooms from £45 but I was charged £110. It was worth £45.

The worst thing about this hotel was not having saved or worried about an order that I asked to be delivered there for me. Before placing the order, I called the hotel and asked if they would keep the order and deliver it to me later. They said Yes.
During the entire stay at the hotel I asked for the order several times and nobody knew about the order. What is certain is that the carrier (Royal Mail) delivered the package there. In other words, i suppose the hotel lost an order I paid. Show no interest in helping or concern. And i lost money. Furthermore, the quality/price ratio is very low. Rooms

Stayed here last night. It's part of a block of student accommodation, although it was denied by reception, I strongly suspect there were a bunch of student staying on our floor. Why else would they be noisy from midnight until 4am on a Sunday night/Monday morning?
We complained at the reception and got an insincere apology.
If you want sleep, don't stay at the pendulum hotel Manchester.

To list all the issues would be pretty, suffice to say the room had less than the required number of beds and things went downhill from there.
I'm glad my own dispar set in as the willingness of the staff to help or even appear sympathetic would have been an annoyance.
While not the worse (and therefore most interesting) place I have stayed in for the cost it certainly was the most disappointing

A hotel of halves. Lovely lobby area, intriguing pendulum, surprisingly good cooked breakfast. The rooms, however, are very shabby. Things are clean, but there is plenty of scraped paint, missing fittings and generally a low quality finish. There is also no parking, though they do say so and a multi-storey car park is a two minute walk away.

Nightmare of a stay on 16/10/2021 checked in..
Bathroom sink was clogged and there was a tissue peace covered in blood in the wash sink.
An open can of coke in the drawer from who knows when they left it.
We were given a half used tissue roll and full one.. we ran out they didn't even change it.
Elevator felt like it was gonna fall apart. Was taped inside as well..
We got charges 128£ on Saturday for the room where they usually charge for 56£. Double the amount
You will find probably more comfort in your car than sleeping in this teeny tiny room.
Went over for a night thank god it was

A solid 3 star hotel.
The staff are excellent, along with the bar and food. The hotel was relatively clean, however someone dumped a tray of leftover food from their room service out in the hallway the evening I arrived and when I was ready to check out at 10:30am the next morning, it was still there!
The doors have a massive gap under them, allowing me to hear what is going on in other rooms and also the hallway. The place, whilst mostly clean and decently decorated, does feel outdated. The room had enough 13A sockets, but only on the table across from the bed, which is fine, but one by the

Only visited for a course in one of the meeting rooms so can't comment on the hotel side. But the place itself was great. Really helpful and friendly staff. The meeting room was very spacious and well set up for a variety of purposes. And the pendulum itself... Which is an actual pendulum... Is amazing to look at. It hangs down through 2 or 3 stories and fascinating to look at.

This hotel was cosy, comfortable and a home away from home.
Although the outside reminded me a bit of student halls, I had a great time here and the outdoor area was very nice, especially with the great weather we had.
The room was quite compact, and small. However the cleanliness was immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. The only downside was that the room was so small with 2 people and it got very hot with the window not being able to open past around 10cm wide.
The drinks at the bar were average priced, the staff were very welcoming and friendly and I would stay again, in a bigger

So this is the Manchester Conference Centre, Weston Hall and Days Hotel. I'm not sure which name is current! I had a booking under the Days hotel, and they told me it had changed names recently but it was all seamless.
This is a large sprawling hotel and a mix of halls and hotel. I had booked a single room for three night, with breakfast that came to around 60 pounds a night. My room was small but quite nicely set up, and included a free piggy bank.
The breakfast buffet was middling and I was a little confused when they changed the venue, but I found it without too much early morning bewildered
