Marion says:
"Copthorne Manchester has a pretty waterfront location on the prestigious Salford Quays development but is only a short distance from the city centre. Good Metrolink tram link near the hotel and 20 minutes drive from Piccadilly mainline railway station and Manchester International Airport. Perfect place to stay if you are going to see Manchester United at Old Trafford... not so good if you don't like football and there happens to be a game on."
