Premier Inn Manchester Altrincham

Already stayed here when we got an early flight from Manchester. Lots of free parking and the lady at reception was nice and friendly.

The hotel is very tired and in need of an upgrade. Our room was very poky and hot despite window being opened as far as possible and fan in room. Rickety chair. Hairline crack in sink. Toilet flush sometimes wouldn't work. All windows in hotel had mould along the bottom. Bedside lamps didn't work - one had no bulb (to be fair, this was remedied despite being told there was no maintenance in at weekend). Restaurant: very tatty with bits of litter on floor, even early next morning before breakfast. The food at dinner and breakfast was very good though. Windows need replacing. Pub in which the restaurant is situated very scruffy- exterior render coming off in chunks. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and you have to feel sorry for them as they work for the Whitbread Company who never seem to care about upgrading the smaller hotels.

Friendly and warm staff, and great location to get into Manchester. Rooms are fairly standard but has everything you require and had a good nights sleep. Breakfast was freshly made and cooked to order was very tasty. Went up to watch the football, but enjoyed the local restaurants which are a short walk away.
