Stayed for 2 nights for a work meeting nearby, check in was a little slow, but the Hotel was busy when I arrived. Room was clean and comfortable, a little dated but nice bed, good shower, a little worn in places but what you'd expect from this type of Hotel. Breakfast was very good, good selection, friendly staff, good quality. My only gripes were, my room must of been located above the kitchen, I could hear the staff preparing things, banging pans etc about 6 each morning, didn't bother me too much as I was getting up fairly early anyway, the 2 lifts can take forever to get you down stairs, I was on floor 2 and on 2 occasions I waited at least 5 mins, I could hear them going up and down with people in but they weren't stopping, maybe because they were full? There doesn't seem to be any stairs near the lifts either?

I arrived at Copthorne Hotel Manchester before the available check-in time and could not check in yet.

My purpose was to catch a weekend game at Old Trafford, Manchester United FC. The stay was alright, twin bed rooms were full although I requested for it when booking a room. Shampoo and shower foam quality are poor, so I suggest you bring your own.

Located away from the City though, one has to take the tram to get to the city. It's about a 10-15 minutes tram ride.

Check in was friendly and quick - Twin room booked and provided (room 237). Comfortable beds and whilst not palacial the room was totally adequate for our needs especially having booked for a reasonable price with Laterooms. Shower was hot and had good pressure. The only down side was that like most mid-range hotels that sound-deadening wasn't brilliant once other guests were up and about. As our stay was mid week the hotel might have had proportionally more early risers. Full breakfast was very pleasant with egg-chef station to prepare freshly fried eggs when wanted. Waitress was efficient and friendly. Dining room looks out over the Quays which is nice. Checkout was painless as the computer was down! Reception staff offered helpful onward travel advice. Plenty of free parking and very close to Man Utd ground, Imperial war museum & cricket ground.

Stayed for 3 nights whilst on a training course.
Good deal for BB with parking and training centre within walking distance.
Very convenient for Man Utd FC and Salford Quays - shopping/Lowry Theater, 5 mins (back way) to Trafford Centre and a tram stop outside to take you to town.
Room upgrade to overlook the rear water-ways nice and quiet and clean, room service very good too, if a bit limited in choice.
