Oldie

Tonight's hotel: Jurys Inn, Manchester

So good to be back in Manchester.

Last night's hotel: Radisson Blu, Manchester airport

Eye wateringly expendive I believe. Jolly nice. Breakfast a bit over fancy for my taste.  Wifi excellent and free.  Shower a bit feeble.  Excellent view, and quiet.

Midland hotel, Manchester

Reassuringly expensive as they say. But I had no complaints.  Good free wifi, good breakfast, pleasant staff, a bar on someone else's expense account.  You may not have the last of those.

Mercure Piccadilly Manchester

A standard room, not the suite I had last time.  They had just had a flood so it was freezing, but otherwise fine

Tonight's hotel: Mercure Piccadilly Manchester

I don't know what I did to deserve it but I must have been upgraded.  The Graden suite is rather lovely. Not sure about the apple though.
