The ibis Manchester Centre 96 Portland Street Hotel Review: August 2019
Rock up to Marvellous Manchester, for a chic city break with friends, family or a loved one, and stay in the ibis Manchester Centre 96 Portland Street Hotel. Located near Manchester Piccadilly train station, the Arndale shopping centre you are right in the heart of all the exciting city action.
Recently refurbished, the hotel’s lovely lobby provides a contemporary space to kick back and chill or a relaxed place to get out the laptop and work your way to the top. Love the Manchester Bee wallpaper too.
The moment you arrive, the whole vibe is friendly, fab and warm, even as you wait for the lift you get a big beautiful textual hug, “From the heart is personal, a genuine one-off”.
Stay connected in your Sweetroom with free high-speed wifi, large 22-inch flat screen TV and unique USB charging hub.
The all new Double Sweetroom, provides a modern modular accommodation, with private bathroom including shower and mirrored sink area.
The main bedroom with splashes of colour vibes, blackout curtain, featured a super snug and cosy SweetBed, a desk area with complimentary tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel kept us sweet with a fab welcome platter, packed with sweet treats such a lovely touch.
Spellbound 
It’s the Old Magical Academy annual school reunion, the ideal time for you all to sneak into the school, but Shush…as you are not meant to be there, so don’t get discovered!
Rock up to Harry Ramsden Blackpool, no bucket and spade required, to enjoy Fish & Chips inside Blackpool’s most prestigious and iconic landmark – Blackpool Tower.
From Beach to bar, Harry’s has taken Blackpool’s signature seaside theme, as the inspiration for their new look restaurant. Why not enjoy a martini or a virgin Pina colada at the bar before you chow down?
Décor a classy chic vibe with intimate booth style seating, ideal for family, friends or a casual date night out.
The restaurant boasts airy, contemporary décor which gives a chic cool vibe to the place.
Super scrummy starters began with their brilliant baked brie and one of my ultimate fav Wildwood dishes bruschetta Caprese. Along with some marinated olives, this makes for the perfect starter.
Marvellous mouth-watering mains included the tasty tagliatelle alla norma, I can not walk in a Wildwood without ordering this dish! Also, their signature Smokey bbq ribs which my plus one scoffed in full and washed down with a Day Time!
These are dark times, so we had to prepare to do battle for what was rightfully ours, as we team Falcon, are the rightful heirs to the throne.

Game master Guy…what a Guy…friendly, plenty of patience and just a lovely chap. Guy let us into a secret shush…Jamie Sherman, ingenious inventor, has actually managed to invent the world’s first-time machine.
However, hold off the celebrations, as things have gone a little bit wrong, as Jamie noticed a serious glitch and needs your help.
We were recruited as MI6 top agents to find and destroy this weaponry, within 60 minutes, reporting back to HQ with our successes.

Warmly welcomed by the Lane7 team, we decided to start by hitting the bar and enjoying a craft beer and mocktail, before getting into some serious play.
