Poor this time

We have stayed at the Dakota numerous times and class it as one of our favourite hotels in Manchester Although this time was suprisingly poor, the mattress on our bed was very different. Normally they are the comfiest mattresses but this time it felt like the mattresses have been changed and not for the better. It had no support and was also sloping towards the headboard which seemed really strange. The shower head would not stay in place it continuously twisted towards the back wall meaning you had to hold it straight The make up mirror on the desk did not work or charge, they did come and change it later in the evening but this was already too late for when my partner needed it. The service is normally amazing but this time we found ourselves waiting for long periods before anyone would come an take our order for drinks or food, all together when paying the amounts the Dakota charges and expecting everything to be spot on we were left a little disappointed

STELLAs welcome was wonderful. This is one of the best hotels me and my husband have stayed in. We travel a lot and always filter for 4 or 5* hotels with 9+ rating in reviews. This hotel was beautiful, relaxed and luxurious. Fantastic in service and facilities. Great location in the middle of the city. Comfortable bed, quiet room, great shower and lush towels with molten brown toiletries, clean room with plenty of space to relax. Thank you Stella for such a warm reception and Andrew for getting our stored luggage before we left. We hope to be back soon :)

The hotel itself was good. The canal at the back of the hotel is filled with trash which should be cleaned up by the council if the hotel contacts the authorities about it
