Great Location!

The staff was welcoming from the front desk to the restaurant. Rooms were clean and spacious. Location was great for us! We stayed to check out Coronation Street and it was a quick walk over to the studio and to pubs and restaurants where we had a pint with a couple of Corrie stars!

Clearly set up for business travel with a huge desk taking pride of place in the room. The area is not very busy at the weekend. Couldn't make us a cup of tea in the evening at the bar.
