Interesting property. Stayed there for 2 nights and it is quite unique. The rooms have Super high ceilings, doors that are 4 inches thick and comfortable beds. This is a historic property and appears on the list of Manchester’s most haunted. It really does have that spooky vibe but it is not unpleasant and is frankly very impressive and interesting to stay here. Avoid the basement rooms. Great to explore. Fabulous breakfast. The haunted staircase is sensational.

Had a great stay at the clocktower! Everything was beautiful and clean. The reception area itself is very impressive. The only downfall was housekeeping. On the day we checked in, we received turn down service at night. Our room was left one tony’s chocolate (which is my favourite) between 2 of us. My brother and his partner did not receive anything even though they were just next to us. The following day, we didn’t receive housekeeping in the morning or the evening. Not sure why. Neither of our rooms did which was disappointing.
