Great Location!
The staff was welcoming from the front desk to the restaurant. Rooms were clean and spacious. Location was great for us! We stayed to check out Coronation Street and it was a quick walk over to the studio and to pubs and restaurants where we had a pint with a couple of Corrie stars!

Quays stay
Location excellent in media city and adjacent to multi story ( don’t park outside hotel). Room was large and airy and breakfast was excellent. Staff all amazingly friendly and helpful.
I’ve noticed a big change in holiday inn over past few years but this is by far the best I’ve used. Thank you.
