Holiday Inn Express Manchester - East, an IHG Hotel

Room was basic and a little run down, the grout in the bathroom was cracked.It was a little bit noisy on the ground floor as people were heading to their rooms.Breakfast was very basic and the menu was very limited in choices.

I have stayed various parts of Holiday Inn in UK.This is one of the best Holiday Inn hotels in UK. My friend and I stayed for two nights. Sadly we have to leave today. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room are big enough and clean. The bed are so comfy. The breakfast were the best compared to other Holiday Inn hotel in UK. I would stay here if and when I next visit Manchester.Location is good if you have a car. It's quiet and car park is spacious.

Stayed here for for 4 nights in a twin room with our dog. It had everything you would expect to find such as a desk, chair, warbrobe with hangers, tea/coffee station, television, phone, ironing board and iron, Hairdryer & also plenty of sockets etc. The beds were comfortable with both synthetic & down pillows. Unfortunately, the lighting was quite poor in the room, the bulbs gave off a very dingy orange glow. There was an electric radiator for heat & a while there was no AC, there was a plug in electric fan & the windows could be opened as well. The bathroom had a standing shower cubicle, toilet & sink, with dove toiletries & soft, clean towels. I quite liked that the door of the bathroom could be closed in 2 different positions, so that it either closed in the room completely or just infront of the toilet, creating a private cubicle for it alone, separating the rest of the bathroom to be used if needed by who you're sharing with. Very clever space saver.The location isn't the most glamorous, it's right next to a McDonald's, a retail park with some shops & a 24 hour gym. There is also a park though, which was very handy for us as we were travelling with our dog. Its only a short drive to Piccadilly though & we were actually in town to visit friends living in Reddish so was quite perfect for us but would also be good for tourists who dont mind a small car journey into town. The breakfast was an average buffet, with hot food & continental style available as well. We did experience some issues with the housekeeping & while it was handled quite poorly at first, this was soon rectified by Beata, who ensured everything was sorted out & that we were satisfied.We overall enjoyed our stay & would return again.I would recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere affordable, practical, comfortable, dog friendly & that provides parking.

Clean & warm. Friendly, efficient & helpful staff in every department. Nothing was too much trouble. For the price I expected a basic continental breakfast which was available along with a hot full English. Terrific value for money! Thank you.
