The Midland. Manchester

Nice old grand hotel in the centre of Manchester. Entrance quite imposing. first room smelled of damp. a unique smell that really only inhabitants of the fair isle can appreciate. second room [610] was excellent. thin blankets of material that seems to be from the Apollo space program....sort of mass-less but offers a bit of comfort. they have yet to catch on to the improved sanitation of the cotton covered duvet. most striking was the window. i went over to open it a bit as the room was slightly stuffy and fond that it was locked shut. check out the image.
'Dear Guest, due to health and Safety purposes, this window does not open'
i guess that the UK Health and Safety has now determined that the air of Manchester is unhealthy...bizarre!!!
All that said, it is a great hotel and i would return. the best one i have stayed in Manchester so far.
