The reason for my stay was because I was running the marathon the following day. After a long day of travelling, I arrived at 5 pm to find a long check-in queue, which was expected since it was marathon weekend. Thankfully, I wasn't standing in the queue for long. When it was my turn to check in, I was told that I was upgraded to a Suite (I didn't quite catch that I was upgraded at the time and realised what was said later on), and because I was running the marathon, they were able to offer me an extended check-out for free (this was because of my start time). Two bonuses before entering my room. The process of checking in was swift and flawless. After I got my key, I headed to my room (thinking I was going to the Studio room I booked). I opened the door and was surprised to see a Suite. The room was magnificent and spacious. It was extremely clean, so much so that when I walked without any socks on, there was no dirt on the bottom of my feet. The bed was super comfy. The view of the city was stunning. It had everything you possibly need for a relaxing night before a marathon. The only annoying thing was that I could not connect my phone to the TV, but I didn't bother to ask reception to sort it out, as I couldn't be bothered, so that's my fault. Unfortunately, I was too slow to take advantage of the extended check-out, but after the run, they kindly allowed me to use a room to shower in. 10/10 would recommend to anyone staying in the city of Manchester.
