Village Manchester Cheadle

A mixed review of this hotel. Beware of getting a first floor room above the gym. We were awakened at 6:30am with the BOM BOOM BOOM of a gym class swinging into action. (The gym opens early during the week - a lttle later at weekends.) The bedrooms walls aren't well insulated - so I hope you don't have noisy neighbours as we did on a couple of nights. Our room was serviced just one during our 4 night stay. But I managed to catch one of the room staff in the evening and she did come and service the room for us right away. Breakfast was excellent! Great choice and delicious. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. The reception staff were very helpful when we wanted to check-in a little earlier than 3pm. Car parking is limited and £5 per day. Location is good for motorway access. As I said - a mixed review.

I would say 2.5 stars is fair, but if forced to choose between 2 and 3, I have to round down. I stayed here for one night for work. Check-in was good - there are some self-service terminals, but I had a question and so was checked in by a staff member quickly. However, I wasn't told anything about breakfast times, prices, whether it was included, etc - nor was I told check-out times or any other hotel information. The room was quite disappointing. There was chipped paint and damaged wood around the doorframe, and some marks and scuffs on the wallpaper in various locations. The windows were very stiff to open and close, and there was no air-conditioning so the room was very hot. There was a Dyson fan, but even on full, it didn't really blow out any cold air and it was very loud (which at least blocked some of the sound of planes coming into the airport every minute or so). The bed was comfortable, but the four pillows were all extremely lumpy and difficult to find a comfortable spot on. The sheet didn't really fit the bed, and when I woke in the morning, it had come off the mattress and was a bit tangled. There was one large ceiling light just in the entrance to the room, but otherwise only bedside lights (and only one worked), so in the evening the room was very dark even with all the lights on - difficult to dig around in a bag or generally sort out my things. The bathroom was small but clean and in good condition, and the provided shower gel and shampoo seemed good quality. However, it was difficult to get the cold tap to run cold, resulting in only lukewarm drinking water. Breakfast was not included in my booking - to add on would have been £17.50 which I think is quite expensive for a buffet breakfast. I opted to use the Starbucks in the hotel instead. All in all a mediocre stay due to the quality of the hotel room. I wouldn't return, given that there are plenty of other choices in the area.

Shockingly bad. No air-con, noisy rooms, very poor reception and bar service, no EV charging points, heavily regulated swimming pool times for kids, very expensive and underwhelming menu. Would not re-viait following 2 evenings there in August.
