Cleanliness could be majorly improved - decor needs updating - service not the best and generally overpriced for what you are getting. The receptionist when in attendance was very pleasant though, but unfortunately what seemed to be management lacked interest and people skills.
Apparantly it has been taken over and I would personally say that has had a downhill affect on the place overall - I had stayed here previously and found it more satisfactory.
Unless they raise their standards or drop their rates I think they will find business lacking!

Found our 2 night stay at The Lodge next to The Bulls Head in Hale Barns excellent. For £56 per night it was excellent value. Large room with king size bed. Power shower and nice shower gel. Very quiet overlooking bowling green. Room exactly as you would find in a 4 star hotel. TV, trouser press, tea/coffee, hairdryer. Breakfast next door at The Bulls Head very good for £7.95 for Full English or £4.95 for Contintental. A 5 minute walk is Hale Barns precinct with an excellent Chinese, Italian and Corbans gastro pub. The Sunday morning we went to the Jewish bakery for breakfast. Only a 5 minute taxi from Manchester Airport and Altrincham. Will stay again.
