- Room was too hot. Air con did not work properly. - No amenities were provided except towels. - Check out was at 12 pm but at 11 am cleaner asked me to leave very rudely. I will give this place max 2 stars.

Manchester Portland By Sunday
Good location and the room is clean, but that’s is all the good points I can say. The walls are paper thin and the room next door woke me at 04:30 in the morning. The breakfast was also one.of the worst I’ve ever eaten
