Staff were extremely friendly , kind and welcoming For a 4 star hotel i would have hoped for a little more in certain areas. They did not supply anti allergy bedding which made for a very unpleasant morning after a sneezy night. Similarly there are no bathrobes in the rooms. Finally the parking is £12 a day . But the hotel was clean and quiet. The gym was good , but only 1 bench so if more than 2 people were exercising it would be impossible.

Unfortunately the cladding is currently being replaced, so dark rooms and some noise and associated disruption. Car-park tiny for the hotel, no details given of where else to park (opposite hotel there is a pub, adjacent to this is a car-park for £7.50/24hrs). Staff friendly and efficient but not so great service at breakfast- tables not cleaned after previous guests, no cutlery set out, poor range of items on one day, better next.

The hotel itself, and the breakfast, were both good, and overall our stay was nice. We were disappointed, however, with the staff in some instances (whether they were maybe just new - but checking in, taking payments, sorting parking, etc all seemed to take forever). We were also disappointed with the cleanliness. Granted it was a busy weekend with a football match on, but there were hairs left in the bathroom, toenail clippings on the bedroom floor, and the surfaces were dirty from previous occupants.

Could do with redecorating rooms. Room was ok duvet cover had a small hole in it and head board on bed was scratched a lot. They need to move chairs when cleaning as sat down and crumbs under chair by windows. Staff friendly enough and the complimentary water in the fridge was a good touch. Food overpriced so didn’t bother with breakfast

The lady serving at the bar was very friendly and offered to carry our drinks to where we were sitting. The reception and lounge areas were immaculate, the outside area was a lovely place to sit and relax.

Booked a 2 night stay. Paid for parking and breakfast, when I checked I had been overcharged. The room was comfortable, pillows not so much! Went for breakfast- self service, went to the tea and coffee station and it was covered in ants- I know in January, it was dirty, explained this to the waitress. Went to get breakfast- no plates! When I asked for a plate, the waitress got some dinner plates and I said sorry I wanted a small plate, she got them out of the cupboard slammed them down and stormed off, saying that she was too busy! The whole food area was dirty, dried on beans on the servery all the utensils had caked on food on them, the bacon was hard as nails… goodness knows how long it had been there and everything else was cold and inedible. I had a piece of toast and that was it. I went to inform reception, they were polite, but unable to do anything as there was no manager on shift! We didn’t have breakfast the 2nd morning, I couldn’t face eating there. Still waiting to find out if we are going to be refunded, if not I paid £12 for a piece of toast. There are very few places to park by the hotel and overnight parking is £14 per night. Would I return? No, there are plenty of other hotels in the area that I am sure have a better standard of cleanliness Also, I plugged the hair dryer in and when I switched it on the lights in the room were flicking!! There is only one mirror in the room that is on the back of the door, so nowhere to sit and do your hair or makeup

Great hotel with pleasant staff. Comfortable and spacious rooms. Been to this hotel a few times now and it's always a good experience. There was a problem with teh TV's this time however, they kept freezing and losing their connection to the server which was anoying. I did report to reception and they were aware of the problem and apologised. They always have the subtitles turned on as well which is anoyying as you can't turn them off. Very distracting for those of us that don't need them turned on.

The hotel was really conveniently situated for our trip to the Lowry theatre. The room was a good size and very clean. However there was no mirror anywhere near a plug socket so trying to style your hair is a bit tricky. We were also really disappointed to find a very tatty and peeling leather headboard which had been strategically covered by the position of the pillows. With parking this hotel was nearly £200 for a night - not what you would expect at all.

An excellent stay at the AC by Marriott in Salford. Excellent welcome and customer service by all staff. Lovely breakfast. The only two minor drawbacks were that the bed was on the small side compared to recent stays in two local hotels, Innside by Amelia in Manchester and Radisson Red in Liverpool, which had spoiled us a bit. The bed had also obviously been used a lot for solo stays, as we both rolled into the middle which led to a restless nights sleep. As someone with slightly reduced mobility, the step up over the bath was a bit tricky. Overall though, an excellent stay.

Booked via hotels.com and paid in full which was confirmed at the hotel. Then paid for parking and the deposit from a separate account at arrival. The morning of check out the hotel had charged us a further £102.90 despite confirming the payment (£180ish) was accepted in full before check in. We have reached out to chase our money back and still have not recieved an answer. We were left with next to no money for our trip which extremely dampened our experience. We have still not recieved any response for the hotel despite the receptionist apologising but the reasoning for why this has occurred was not provided. The hotel itself was lovely, clean and felt incredibly homely. It is a shame that we have been charged an extra £100 as we will not stay in a Marriott again as it is clear they cannot be trusted to handle a simple check in check out procedure.

This hotel is a great budget option—much better than places like Ibis or Premier Inn. We experienced an issue with the air conditioning not working, but an engineer arrived promptly, explained that the room’s thermostat needed replacing, and arranged a room change within 30 minutes. He was very polite and went above and beyond to help. On the morning of checkout, we felt like taking it easy and decided to request a late checkout. When we called reception, we were told we had to come down in person to pay for it. This was quite inconvenient and led us to just check out at the regular time instead. We also noticed silverfish in the bathroom, and the sink wasn't draining properly. When we mentioned this at checkout, the reception staff didn’t seem particularly concerned, which was disappointing. It’s not reassuring to see pests in a hotel bathroom. Despite these issues, the check-in staff and maintenance team were excellent, and overall, we had a good stay. Still, we left wondering—why not allow late checkout payment over the phone or at checkout time? A little more flexibility and communication would go a long way.

If your Hotel Chain had more than one Mariyam at your reception, It would grow its customer base by at least 10 percent more. At your Salford unit, she is the epitope of customer service. As for Ricardo, the less said the better.

The quality of the food served was bland sloppy mess of a lasagna and 10 minutes later the fries arrived. The waiter looked shocked when he asked if everything was ok ?? I replied no with an explanation, he just moved away
