I was only in Manchester for the night, but I couldn't have chosen a better hotel to stay in. The staff was professional, helpful, and courteous. My room was clean, comfortable and quiet, which is exactly what I needed.
The hotel itself seemed rather new so everything was up-to-date. There is a restaurant/bar area open until 10:00 P.M. for food and 11:00 P.M. for drinks. I ordered in because I was staying with my dog, but they really seemed to do a great business and the atmosphere was very lively. I also took advantage of the whirlpool spa and pool area.
If you have an event, convention, business or are just visiting, I highly recommend the Hilton Garden.
