Holiday Inn Express Manchester - Salford Quays, an IHG Hotel

The staff at this hotel were absolutely amazing. We booked a last minute stay for our daughters cheerleading competition close by and as soon as we arrived and entered the building we felt safe and comfortable to stay there. The hotel was clean and fresh and secure. A lovely little bar area which meant we could have a quiet drink after a long day at comps before heading to our room to do it all again. We had breakfast included from 7am the next day which was amazing as it meant we could let our daughter choose what she wanting to eat to get her energy levels up before competing at her 2nd day at comps. The staff were very helpful with any questions we had showed us round the breakfast area as this was our first stay (definitely won't be our last we will be re-booking for her next comps in June) the little goody bad the staff gave her at breakfast made her day. Discounted on-site parking rate when staying here. A lovely river right outside our window which we enjoyed having a walk round. Shops close by in walking distance. Free WiFi, tv in the room, kettle,cups,tea and coffee In the room. Our room smelt lovely on our arrival beds made perfectly. Dove toiletries in the bathroom (which was ideal as we didn't have any with us to take a shower). Air-conditioning/heating in the bedroom. Overall an absolute amazing experience staying here and would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay.

Second time to visit and came for my birthday to see a local event , got a nice free drink and snack for my partner and myself for my Birthday upon arrival. Thank you ! Really nice staff and they remembered us from last visit ! I love the atmosphere in the lounge and from the hotel in general, good for lone travellers to have company if wanted. A very warm welcome and very hospitable, nothing is too much trouble , staff are always happy to help. and the personal touches they give for everyone is lovely Room was so comfortable , those beds and duvets are so comfy . Very quiet and no noise from hallway or neighbours . I love the breakfast , so much choice and staff always about to help if needed. The decking area outside is nice and by the water , lots of ducks ,swans, geese just happily plodding about and sitting with a drink watching them is so relaxing . Many water sport actives to watch or join if you like. Beautiful area to have a walk by the waterways , the view here at night is stunning. I look forward to my future stays because I know when I come here I have everything I need with very welcoming staff. See you again soon ! Photos are different views from the hotel premises

Location was fantastic close to Media village and Old Trafford, all within walking distance, right on the canal with fantastic indoor food market where you could buy street food from all over the world at a great price. Walked into Manchester city centre along the canal it took about 40 mins stopping to shop and have drinks on the way took the tram back to the hotel which took about 12 mins , Tram to Trafford centre also only took 15 min journey . You could book outdoor swimming and boating on the canal right on the hotels doorstep . Overall a perfect location

Perfect location walking distance to lots of things to see and places to eat. Easy to find and park, lovely views of the waterfront and the staff couldn't do enough for you. We stayed here for my son's 4th birthday as we were going for a day out locally, they were so kind to my son giving him a birthday treat. The main bed was comfortable and sheets clean.

The breakfast was great. We travelled for a show at the lowry so the location was perfect for us. We were able to check in early. The staff were all very friendly and the room was very clean
