I have an experience of lots of travels in many European countries. I may say there aren't many places where I've seen so good reception. The staff was friendly. I did not expect to see anything special inside the room, but apart of cold floor in the bathroom (my room was 26 in the basement), which I had to fix by using one of my 3 towels, other things were nice. Special words for the bed, pillow and blanket. Good night sleep is what you need after long travel or long day of walking in the city. As for the bistro, I may say that I liked this food. It was not something special, but for me it was quite OK, specially lovely mushroom soup and butternut squash soup. Beer price did not surprise really as it should be slightly higher than in the pubs, but now may say that these prices are of London pub prices level for the same sorts.
As for the breakfast, for me (the man of almost 130 kg weight) the full English breakfast was more than enough, plus couple of wonderful chocolate pies to round the breakfast up. All in all, when I'm in Manchester again, I'll stay there.
My room was one of the furthest to Regent road, so I was not troubled at all by any traffic noise. Even the started engines in the parking where my window looked at, did not bother me much, only if the window was open.
