"This hotel is right next to the Manchester Piccadilly Train Station. We chose it because of the convenient location as we were coming from Liverpool by train and needed a place to stay before our early morning flight the next day. Because our early disembarkation from our cruise in Liverpool, we arrived at the hotel at around noon. We thought that we would have to put our bags in storage there and then find something to do until the official check-in time, but instead, we were pleasantly surprised that a room was available for our immediate occupancy! Thanks so much! Thanks, too, for booking the 3:40 a.m. taxi for us. Of course, because of that early departure, we had no opportunity to experience the breakfast."
