Budget hotels.

I doubt very much City want to go down to those budget hotel price levels.

The impression I get is that City want the hotel to be more of an up market hotel all year round, even during the week when there are no matches or concerts on. I think the standard of the rooms and the service will be second to none around the hotel room price range, especially as the rooms tie in with match day packages during the football season. Constant good reviews for the hotel and the match day packages will be crucial.

I’m not saying there aren’t plans for a 2nd or 3rd hotel. I think City will see how the Medlock performs first before starting on anymore hotels on the Etihad Campus. The next hotel could well be a budget hotel.

Doesn't that suggest the club decided to move the hotel from from the Collar site to where it is now?

Having 2 separate hotels next to each, and filling over 600 hotel rooms per week is a very big ask and financial commitment for the club. Poor performaning hotels are notorious for losing money, just ask Gary Neville.

We also have to remember there are no football matches between May and August, roughly 4 months. Admittedly there will more concerts and events at the Coop Live Arena.

As I posted earlier, I'm more inclined to think City will stick with 1 hotel for now. Assess how the hotel is performing, stays, profit, etc, and if the hotel is doing very well, and the club thinks it can sustain another hotel close by, only then will the club build a 2nd hotel.

Might mean that, but think itnis too coincidental and with those couple images then appearing in the PA for this one, suggests it is still in the long term plan. But think you are likely right, might be some time before they go for it, seeing how thisnone is going or what other content they might generate on site to make it worthwhile.

A big fck off Wetherspoons with a Travelodge built next to it is what is needed. It would be an absolute gold mine. Even with budget prices.

I think the club are positioning the Medlock as an exclusive hotel due to its position and unique offering.

It’s attached to the stadium, it’s on the Etihad Campus, and it’s the only hotel
in the area, with the closest hotels being on Great Ancoats Street.(I stand corrected on that point) Bar Diamonds Hotel on Hyde Road in Gorton. ;-)

So if you want to stay at the Medlock, you will have to pay for it.

Good, it was the best one for me before they got rid ten years ago with the extra tier.

Next the Timpson's clock back.

is that an 'exclusive' direct from the club? I'm still struggling to see how that will work with the iron work that had to go in to shore up the wonky South Stand roof corners
