Had the StrongBow Dark Fruit cider for £3.30 but also some beers (Old Speckled Hen and others) for only £2! Free Wifi--ask the bartender for the password.

This is quite a cosy, decent looking pub but they just didn't really serve anything I would want to drink, Boddingtons keg being the most interesting, but ultimately unrewarding option. I didn't even notice the Marilyn Monroe theme though. I guess I'm not the most observant.

Hidden away under Piccadilly…read moreStation, this kitsch hotel bar is packed with charm and Marilyn Monroe memorabilia - a combination that attracts some of Manchester's most interesting characters. From spunky pensioners to Soul devotees on their way to Manchester's legendary Twisted Wheel club, you'll meet lots of cool people here, all with their own story to tell. There's no real ale at Monroes and the prices are a little on the expensive side, but what else would you expect from a hotel bar? Anyway, when you visit this place, you don't really care about what you're drinking or even how much it costs it's all about the atmosphere!

I've stayed in diamond lodge numerous times, but after April 15th-16th I'll never go back!…read moreI arrived after a 4 hour drive and at first everything seemed ok, until it got late. My room was directly above the refrigeration plant for the kitchen, it started and stopped every 10-15 mins. To make matters worse, the window was broken and wouldn't close. I was told I couldn't be moved anywhere, then was moved at 2 am, by which time I was completely frustrated and so worked up by that time that I didn't sleep till 4 am. I was up again at half 7 and had a 4 hour drive in front of me. I complained to the front desk who insulted me by first trying to argue that the refrigeration plant didn't run at that time, then said since I was moved halfway through the night that everything must have been ok!!! I've never been treated in such a shocking way, after first trying to argue with me I got an artificially sympathetic apology! What a disgusting way to treat loyal patrons.

Stayed at a couple of Ibis hotels and this one seems slightly better than the norm (although it…read moremight be a bit smaller) and a lot cuter too. I didn't expect any Ibis hotels to have a theme but it was quite cute that this one had a rain theme with the umbrellas on the ceiling and the walls being painted with cute raindrops. As for the rooms, they were very clean. The one thing was that the they were completely out of soap in our room, was surprised they didn't check it before they let us live inside. However, I do have to give the place three stars for its breakfast. We paid extra for it but yet they completely ran out of all foods when we got there. The place was incredibly underfilled and they even didn't have any breads which is literally what these continental breakfast have an abundance of. Was quite disappointed. Would highly recommend this hotel but just don't get the breakfast. As a note, if you want to store your luggage at that place, you do need pay a pound which is not bad but just a good note to have.

The menu offers yoj a few variants of tea options, including vegan and vegetarian option. The cakes and scones were just amazing, nothing to fault.

The location is excellent and just about a 10 minute walk to everything from Piccadilly to Canal Street. The hotel has complimentary wifi, rooms were well kept and clean, and they have a great breakfast in the morning. My only quibble is I woke up at 2:am because of the singing drunks outside. Remember to keep your windows closed and once you go to bed, you'll be in a heavenly cocoon.
