The Whitworth Locke was in a fabulous location and looks stunning. Luckily we bumped into a helpful member of staff who directed us to the right entrance. The room was incredibly spacious and loved the kitchenette area. We will definitely be staying again but with our dog next time!!

I love renovated industrial properties, and this one was really well done. We had a small apartment that was perfect for our group of 3. The neighborhood was really fun and it was easy to walk all over downtown and even out to the concert venue. On to the not so great part. Our flight was delayed and I sent the property a message through our booking site letting them know of the long delay. I also pre-registered through the link the property sent me, so they knew we would be arriving. Still, when we arrived, the staff person blocked our entrance into the building at first and was very annoyed that we were there. For some reason, he had to check us in again even though I had already done that. Besides that, the atrium lobby is heavily scented, so I had to hold my breath through there. And our shower did not work correctly and was not fixed when we reported it.

Nice, clean, and centrally situated.

It was perfect for my trip, hey you have 12 hangers, and most of the hotels you stay at will give you 5 or 6 and you struggle to figure out how to hang your clothes, it was a nice hotel with friendly staff, it is located close to tram and train station, very convenient, thank you!

ONLY caveat is the parking situation. What you save on the room will cost you in the parking lot you have to pay for around the corner. DO NOT park at the parking lot listed here on Expedia. It is an uphill hike for a couple blocks. There is a NCP parking lot right around the corner. It's a little pricier, but it saves you the hike to the hotel. The apartment rooms are wonderful. It was nice to be able cook in the room and to bring back leftovers from O'Sheas which has great pub food one block away.

A fantastic experience worth far more than what I paid for, the rooms were of immaculate quality, and the staff all approachable and incredibly kind. Roomy and well stocked, I didn't feel like I needed anything during my stay. 5 out of 5.

The hotel is average value for money. A cosy room in a building with classic English architecture. I should also mention that the rooms were of old construction. However, everything in the room was as it should be and worked properly. The entrance to the hotel is a bit unusual. The reception is to the right of the entrance and looks a little cramped as there were tables and chairs from the hotel cafe right in front of it. However, the reception staff were very attentive. They found my coat, which I had left outside the hotel, and when I asked if they had seen it, they immediately checked and returned it to me. I would like to thank them.

Overall stay has been great. Unfortunately, my check in experience wasn't smooth at all. Danz was very rude and I didn't appreciate her really negative attitude and behaviour towards me especially as I am a long standing and loyal customer. She didn't bother to listen to anything I was saying and charged my card when she shouldn't have. I was very disappointed with the way I was spoken to by Danz and this has left quite a bitter taste. I hope to never experience anything like this again particularly with Danz. Having said that, when I saw Nour later in the evening, as always he was so friendly and welcoming. He is such a great team member and I'm grateful that he was there when I came back. He listened to my complaint and was so understanding. Thanks to Nour for putting a smile on my face and making my stay more enjoyable.
