Your staff went above and beyond.  I had trouble connecting to the internet and everybody dropped what they were doing to help me connect.  Every cleaner, gardener and staff personally greeted us!

Your unbelievable humanity in taking in an utterly exhausted senior citizen and granting her a room at a cost she could afford.  Your rooms are beautifully appointed and your baths usable by an arthritis stricken guest like me.

We would like to thank all of the staff for making our stay at your hotel with Manchester City a fantastic one on so many levels.  Results apart, Garry, Mark the players and all the support staff we delighted with how everything went at the hotel.  The organization and management from the Ranch was, without question the best that I have experienced.  You’re a great team!  Nothing was too much trouble and whatever time of day I called, I knew that I would receive a rapid response.
