I had a generally pleasant stay at the AC Hotel By Marriott Manchester Salford Quays. The staff were friendly and quick during check-in, and I appreciated the clean and cozy rooms.

I had an enjoyable stay at the AC Hotel By Marriott Manchester Salford Quays, highlighted by the comfortable bedding and cleanliness throughout the hotel. However, the breakfast experience left something to be desired—served in takeaway bags and lacking warmth, it didn't match the rest of the stay. Overall, the location and service were excellent, making it a good choice for future visits despite a couple of minor issues. 🙂
