I recently stayed at the Crowne Plaza Manchester City Centre, and to be honest, it was a mixed experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome, but the cleaning standards in my room were disappointing. The hotel’s location is perfect for exploring the city, but the dining experience left something to be desired with some issues in the lounge and restaurant setups.

I had a really nice stay at the Crowne Plaza Manchester City Centre, with excellent service from the friendly staff who were always willing to help. My room was spacious and clean, although I found the shower size a bit small. The breakfast buffet was decent, but I had to wait for items to be replenished, which was frustrating. Overall, it was a good experience, but there's room for improvement.

My stay at Crowne Plaza Manchester City Centre was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the central location, I faced several issues that detracted from my experience. The cleanliness of my room was questionable, and I encountered delays at breakfast that left me feeling overlooked. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvement.

Rooms

6.0

I had high hopes for my room but was disappointed. Initially, I was given a room next to the noisy lifts. The second room had a strong paint odor, and the twin beds took up too much space. The comfort of the bed was good, but the room temperature was too cold, making it uncomfortable until late in the evening when it finally warmed up on its own.

Service

The staff were generally friendly, and I received an apology for my issues. However, I felt neglected during breakfast when no one approached me to offer service. It was frustrating to have to seek help instead of being attended to immediately.

The hotel had some nice amenities, like the club lounge, but my experience there was not great. The space was full when I tried to access it, and there were limited snacks available. Overall, the facilities could improve to match the brand's quality.

My stay at the Crowne Plaza Manchester City Centre was quite enjoyable, though there were some hiccups. The hotel is beautifully designed and located conveniently near the city center, making it easy to explore. However, I encountered issues with the check-in process that felt a bit unwelcoming.
