TRIBE Manchester Airport
Parking extremely poor, very far to walk with suitcase in the dark alone. Even though paid at front desk I had extreme difficulty leaving and they tried to charge me a further $60. Towels smelled stale

a&o Manchester City Centre
Slow and annoying check in process - not user friendly. They need to improve that because almost 10mins to check in through a slow online questionnaire platform isnt great. The hotel is a maze.. with a lack of signage. No kettle or even hairdryer which are basics! Good location.
