Manchester (Wilmslow) Hotel

I have been visiting this hotel for many years. My stay is booked in advance for 2 nights in June/July/August. For the past 4 visits, I have hit a heat wave in Manchester! I have stayed at a range of hotel in this area. I like this hotel for its location, the walk in shower and the staff. As I spend a good deal of time out of the hotel I am not concerned that breakfast is not available on site. Some options are offered for a small fee at reception.. The rooms conform to Premier Inn spec, so one knows what to expect. The staff are friendly and helpful. The core of the team have been in Wilmslow some years and take a pride in their work. They make my stay as comfortable as they can. On this recent stay, I found the wi-fi less reliable than on previous visits, despite it having been renewed. I was upgraded to 'ultimate ' but this too was not reliable. Very frustrating. Although each room has a fan, it is noisy and makes little difference to the temperature in the room. The bedding is synthetic and not conducive to sleep on a hot night. After several years suffering these regular heatwaves, in Premier Inn, Wilmslow I will be reluctant to book again in the summer months, unless there is air con and more reliable wi-fi at the hotel. I am sure I am not the first and unlikely to be the last, to report these issues!

As with all the Premier Inns we have stayed in, the bed was really comfortable and the shower was modern and efficient. Staff were very friendly. The hotel is quite small but rooms are clean and there is a lift available to the 2 upper floors. we had a room at the back which was very quiet and the hotel is not overlooked. In fact there are lovely walks across Lindow Common which start just opposite the hotel. There is a restaurant and bar adjacent to the hotel but it is a shame there is no breakfast option without driving into Wilmslow.

Disappointing Premier Inn. Needs modernising. No air con. Wasn't given a WiFi code on checking in and room 4 next to reception has an annoying rythmic electrical noise coming from wall behind our heads which affected our sleep. Beds were comfy though and location to airport parking was convenient. Had to park in overflow car park due to busy restaurant next door but wasn't too much of an issue.

Great hotel in a good location, which was clean and well maintained. Good sized car park right next to Hickory's (although they don't do breakfast), and the staff were always super helpful. My only gripe was the lack of food on offer (there was porridge and chocolate bard etc) but given the price they charge, you can't go wrong..

Rather weirdly, the hotel is hidden behind Hickory's Smokehouse with no branding visible on the main road. It looks quite scruffy from the outside but our room was fine and, most importantly, very quiet. The only disappointment was the size of the bath - not really big enough to lie in but ok as a shower. NB. No breakfast at the Premier Inn or the Smokehouse but plenty of options in the town.
