Decent Hotels in Manchester.

I wouldn't bother with Expedia unles you're on the FRS as you don't get VAT receipts from them (or you didn't when I last used them).

Booked the Palace £79...

Abode looks good and may use that for the regular stint next month..

Cheers all.

A couple of good pubs near enough straight over the road:

The Salisbury Ale House (Manchester, England): Address, Phone Number, Bar & Club Reviews - TripAdvisor

The Thirsty Scholar, Manchester - Restaurant Reviews & Photos - TripAdvisor

Just avoid Deansgate Locks - horrendously overpriced.

Personally I'd look for boutique hotels if you are going to pay Hilton prices. It's still just a Hilton. For the same money you can get some amazing hotels. Didsbury house for example...

Didsbury House **** | A small luxury town house hotel - Didsbury House - Eclectic Hotels Manchester

Boutique hotels aren't going to give you the points and frequent flyer miles that the Hilton does - my 11 months at Orange got me two weeks in Hawaii

If you are recharging to the client ask them if they can book and pay for the hotel for you.

Indeed, they might also have a discount rate going direct. Although you are relying on someone else which introduces more chance of a screw-up



I prefer TripAdvisor for researching places, myself.

So do I but you also need to check the number of reviews.

Stayed at the Didsbury a fair bit, very nice too. Can sometimes get reasonable weekday rates as their main clientele is the weekend wedding trade.
