Château de Thirlwall

Let’s start with the positive: personnel was gracious, beds were comfortable, it’s a 1 min walk to the nearest tram station (forget cars in Manchester, take the tram!) It was acceptably clean when we arrived. The room was very basic. Small, but functional. An air extractor is really needed in the bathroom however. There is a loud on and off noise of some sort of machinery that made sleep a little difficult. The hotel is not situated in a super interesting part of town, but the 8-10 min walk to the Emirates stadium made it worthwhile for us. There is an on site steakhouse that seemed very nice, but we didn’t try it. All and all, very nice for the price range.
