Motel One Manchester St. Peter's Square
I’ve stayed here a few times when I come to Manchester - all staff are always nice and have a chat with you, hotel feels safe, it’s not noisy, good location, very clean, bar area is nice. I think it’s a really good price for where it is. Only negative this time was the room I had was really small ...
