Stayed here on NYE and New Year’s Day, the price was over inflated for the occasion but similarly priced to other similar quality hotels. This hotel as the name suggests is near Piccadilly station in central Manchester, very convenient if you are shopping, going out or going to the arena. The hotel itself is very easy to find and has reduced price parking right in front which is £13 for 24hrs which is over half the price of other car parks and the NPC ones. Lobby areas are clean and modern, the hotel offers a self service check in which in my opinion was alright but quite a few people were having to go to the bar to speak to someone or to get help with the check-in which defeats the purpose of self check-in. Also because the screens won’t allow you to any earlier check in than 3pm there was quite a queue to use them and there want many of them available so expect to wait if you arrive at 3pm. Our rooms was a standard premier inn room, if you’ve stayed in one before you should know what your getting, this room was ok, didn’t feel tired like some can feel, it was clean and relatively fresh, our only criticism really was the 2 teabags, 2 coffee’s and 2 sugars in the tea tray with no spoons. (They do have a help yourself supply room downstairs) . We also had to ask for 2 additional pillows (1 each supplied) and extra toilet roll. Breakfast is a help yourself buffet which is extra, didn’t really feel that this particular premier inn’s offering was worth the money, food wasn’t replenished quick enough and those that were there had been standing a while. Other premier inn’s have been better so could have just been an off day. What little interaction we had with staff was pleasant and they genuinely seemed willing to help. If it wasn’t for the reasonable parking and location I would have scored this a 3 star as I don’t think it was worth the price despite being NYE.
