Fantastic Stay near the Metro

onsite parkingexcellent facilitiesgreat varietyfriendly staff
I found the on-site parking very convenient. The leisure facilities were great. I enjoyed the vegan breakfast. It offered a great variety. The staff were friendly, always ready to help. The location was very close to the east didsbury metro link station. My room was clean and very well equipped with a comfortable bed. I also enjoyed the codfish in the restaurant.
The small double room, while cozy, felt a little smaller than expected for two adults. It was only for sleeping overnight.
