Hi Lee and thanks for your lovely review. Think you took advantage of our super special Sunday rates Hallelujah! see there is a God after all. Really pleased you had a lovely night away. Don't forget our 'free night' offers for next time.

'Really lovely place and just as lovely staff'
I was completely bowled over by how nice the rooms were and for the price we paid. we stopped in the busby suite and we found it a good size and well maintained. the staff were very friendly and helpful i.e. booking taxis etc. we were only there for one night to watch the soccer aid game at old trafford but could have stayed there quite easily for a few nights more. Loved it.

Thanks John for your great review. I'm glad you liked my 'local restaurant & pub review' and found us ideally located for your needs. Look forward to seeing you next time you're in Manchester. All the best Mike.
'Comfortable & so handy for transport'
Really enjoyed our long weekend stay in Manchester which included our 3 nights at the Lennox Lea. Our room (no 26) was very comfortable with what looked like a brand new bathroom. The only down side was that we were at the top of the hotel which was a bit of a hike (suggest you may want to ask about your room in advance if you have mobility problems). All of the staff were genuinely friendly and extremely helpful (especially if you are unfamiliar with the Manchester area). Although we did not eat in the hotel (too lazy to rise for breakfast) the hotel does provide a very good guide to the restaurants and bars nearby (we tried a couple and agree with the comments provided). The hotel is no more than 10 minutes from the tram stop (Sale) which takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach the centre of Manchester. The tram links around and across Greater Manchester are first class and will be getting even better over the next couple of years as the service is being extended and will even include a route direct to the airport. We chose to take a taxi to/from the airport to the Lennox Lea which cost almost exactly what the owners predicted (£15) each way. We will be back to Manchester and will certainly consider the Lennox Lea in future.

Thought the Lennox Lea was a lovely hotel, would definitely go back, 5 mins away from Old Trafford by Metro. It felt more like a 4 star hotel. We booked an Executive room, was worth the small extra cost.

'WEEKEND BREAK'
This was a last minute booking and the extra night free was a real bonus. Although we were in a budget room there was sufficient space so as not to feel cramped and there was a choice of options if we wanted to upgrade. The breakfast was delicious and served promptly. All in all , and including the great location, tremendous value for money and we would not hesitate to return.

'The executive rooms are spacious, well decorated & very comfortable'
The hotel is a lovely Victorian house close to Sale town centre with easy access to tram line to Manchester/Altrincham. The staff are friendly & professional & any problems were quickly resolved. The restaurant serves good quality food & wine & it's possible to eat in the bar area. A good stock of tea/coffee/biscuit supplies are provided daily. The rooms were warm, even during the depths of winter. We've actually stayed here a few times because of it's location, good value & comfort, it seems many other clients are regulars. The executive rooms are spacious, well decorated & very comfortable. In all, a very pleasant stay

'The knowledgeable staff were friendly & helpful'
Had a great stay. The knowledgeable staff were friendly & helpful. It felt much more personal than a chain hotel without being intrusive, a great balance. We extended our stay & got a free upgrade to a lovely large room with comfortable, modern furnishings. Great little restaurant serving delicious food. Veggies catered for & they were able to offer alternatives to menu. Location is quiet but < 5 mins to tram station & a variety of restaurants & shops. I'm sure we'll be back.

'Thanks again, we really enjoyed our stay and for such a great price'
We rarely take the time to review hotels but after our stay at the Lennox Lea Hotel, we felt we had to. We have visited Manchester on numerous occasions, usually to watch a show or go to the football but with the price of such activities these days we have always opted for a value hotel, and more often than not been disappointed with the stay. We were recommended the Lennox Lea by a work colleague and assured we would not be disappointed. The hotel is in a great location, only 15mins from the centre, but on a quiet, road. We opted for a budget room and that’s exactly what we got, it wasn’t the most modern of rooms but it had everything we needed, it was clean and it gave us a comfortable night’s stay. We were unsure of whether to pay the extra price for the breakfast but thought we’d give it a try and I have to say it was excellent! It is rare to find these days a hotel which serves a proper, home cooked, full English breakfast, it certainly set us up for the day, and I would definitely recommend it. The real credit to this hotel must go to the team of dedicated, hard working staff. They could not have been more helpful and really made us feel welcome. Unfortunately on this visit we were unable to try Alexander’s Bistro, but the menu sounded great and we will certainly make time to try it on our next visit. Thanks again, we really enjoyed our stay and for such a great price, we look forward to seeing you all again soon! Keith and Gill

Morning Keith & Gill
What a lovely review, i think you have summed us up very nicely. We have some 'Cheap & Cheerful' budget rooms which we think for the money, offer exceptional value. They are a little dated and yes some do still have the classic 'Avocado bathroom suites!' this is not by choice but due to lack of funds!! however we let these rooms at a reduced rate to reflect this. We also think they may come back in fashion soon then we can call them 'Retro' ha ha that's a joke(bad). But we also have some lovely Executive & Superior rooms available which for a few pounds more are well worth a look. Thankyou also for your comments on our staff,i will put up your kind review for all to see. Best regards and hope to see you soon.

Fabulous Hotel and Bar and Bistro attached what a " A LITTLE GEM"
What an absolute fabulous GEM of a hotel, The room was modern and lovely en-suite bathroom. the bar and bistro attached was great, the food was of a high standard.
The hotelier Mike even helped with the car not starting in the morning, with charging the battery and a free coffee while we waited. This anniversary weekend was great, my wife was well impressed with me and the hotel i chose. The champagne and flowers waiting in the room, done by the hotel was a great finishing touch.
We will be doing the same this year and recommend this hotel to anyone, a very pleasant experience.

Second Visit - Will defo use again
Great budget accomodation in a nice quiet setting although only 4mins from Sale Town Centre and Tram stop to Manchester. Actually looking to rent somewhere in the vacinity so will probably be back in the New Year whilst I find something.
I didn't use any facilities i.e Bar or restaurant but they seemed popular. Room was clean and tidy. A great wee place to stay overall. Booked 5 nights and ended up staying 7. Stayed before in April and found it to be the same then as now, great!

Weekend break
The room was small and somewhat old-fashioned, but we had been given fair warning of this and in all other respects we were pleased with our stay, especially the 3-for-2 nights deal. Friendly staff. The location is excellent for access to motorway, city of Manchester and Sale town centre with its ready selection of restaurants. Free wifi was a bonus. Would definitely return, but would opt for a larger room!

Stayed in a budget room and, whilst it was a small and slightly dated room, it was very clean and comfortable. The communal areas in the hotel were well decorated and attractive. The restaurant provided fast service and good quality food, and the staff were cheerful and attentive

Great Find
As someone who regularly travels with work and stays @ numerous chain hotels this was a delight to find!! What you really want when your away from home is somewhere friendly, easy to access and with good food and some atmosphere. The Lennox Lea ticks all the boxes, bags of character, friendly staff and the food is pretty good. Mike on reception is a character ( larger than life!!) My room wasn't the biggest but clean and well presented and the breakfast was spot on. All in all a great find!

Lennox Lea Hotel
This private family run Hotel advertises itself as a “Budget Friendly hotel not to be beaten on price.
As a former International Quality Assurance specialist/author I ask, ‘What are the indicators of a good hotel?’
While I have stayed at many hotels (my preference good B&B’s) throughout the UK over the years, the intimacy of this Award winning hotel makes it the best hotel for me.
People vote with their feet! Suffice to say on my last visit I met a local television personality, an overseas football agent visiting a “Big Manchester Club and 12 former senior officers of the Local Authority and of course the obligatory mobile Training Manager en route.
Or is a hotel only as good as its staff? Several of the staff have worked there for 20 years and each member was able to assist me in any matter I raised with them.
To the Epicurean, well, Alexandrer’s Bistro and where excellence is paramount, try it out for yourself and tell me if I am wrong.

I Liked It
I liked this hotel.Found it on the web while looking for somewhere that was good value for money for a christmas break and the lennox lea is excellent value for money.The location in sale is ideal - just down the road from metro station that will have you in the city centre in minutes.The staff are friendly and even when we slept it out for breakfast it wasnt a problem to serve us late. It has a nice little bar which i managed to get to myself with a paper and a pint in a high back leather chair - bliss!We had the so called dreaded room 38 from other reviews.If you are travelling with your children this room is superb.They have their own room with a sofa bed , tv with dozens of channels and even a video with some tapes in the cupboard.If i had a small gripe it's that the plumbing was very noisy, now i thought this was going to spoil it but you do kind of get used to it and to be fair it is an old building.All in all will be back, very hard to beat at the prices charged

Very pleasant
The hotel was nicely positioned and is very convenient to the local tram service but far enough away as to not be disturbed by the locals or traffic. Parking was ample and FREE which is a bonus. The room was well appointed in the price range and equipped adequately. All in all, a nice budget Hotel but with a higher grade than that in truth. I would recommend this to any visitor to the area as a relaxing and friendly place to use as a base to travel

I've been using the Lennox Lea hotel for business travel for the past three months after trying many hotels in the area. It's in a nice quite road but only a 5 minute walk into the heart of Sale's shops, restaurant and tram station that get's you into central Manchester within 10 mins.
The food is not pretentious and over priced like many other hotels, but good honest reasonably priced homemade grub served by friendly staff in a nice environment and the full english breakfast really set's you up for the day.
Rooms are modern and clean with free wi-fi and there is always ample secure parking.
I thought it was worth posting this feedback as most people don't have the luxury of trying lot's of different hotels in a area before finding the best one, so I hope this helps other travellers
