The staff was friendly. Mani was very polite and addressed all my questions. The room was warm. It was quite cozy (I liked it very much). The location suited me perfectly, a short walk to the University of Salford. The price was also quite reasonable.
The bathroom door did not shut properly. This was inconvenient. I found a dead spider on the wall when I first entered the room. The lock on the main door was a bit difficult to operate.
