Medlock Apartments @ City Road East  

I like this hotel. The peole are very good.

No cork screw No Washing-up liquid or sponge. Only one tab for dish washer, but there two nights No shampoo Over-priced, but had to book at last minute after previously booked accomodation fell through

The beds were comfortable

The guy who showed us to the room (Sunny) was rude. I asked a receipt for the cash I was giving him and he said he would email it to me. I refused to hand over cash unless I got a receipt and although he was reluctant I got him to sign my booking confirmation form. He was hard to understand and not helpful at all. He said he would drop my change under the door but never did. Plus he tried to sell me parking for £8 (outside) or £10 (undercover) but as we arrived at 4pm on Sat, I checked the meters outside the apartments and parking is free after 6pm and all day Sunday so he was trying to rip us off. We paid £2.30 for 2 hrs parking up to 6pm right outside the apartment. The apartments were not clean at all. The floors were dusty and dirty and the carpets were grotty. Unusable drawers in one of the bedroom as they were broken. Very basic stuff in the kitchen, no bottle opener, can opener, dishcloth, washing up liquid or brush. Advertised as a "luxury" apartment but far from it. Very basic throughout! Advertised with free tea, coffee, milk & sugar but none of this in our apartment. Even the 2 sets of s & p shakers were empty. Grubby stains on the couch in the lounge and one of the dining table chairs was broken.Nothing handy nearby is you need shops either. I've stayed at better and would certainly pay more to stay elsewhere next time. Sunny needs to improve his customer service skills as this place will lose business because of him! Definitely better places in Manchester!
