Not an Oddfellow at all.
Great value for money. Peter was a great host and was also helpful prior to us arriving by offering a different room for our dogs who were also on our mini road trip.

Nice and cheap stay
We had a nice stay here. We picked it as it wasn't to far from where we were headed for the Manchester comic con, it was good enough for what we needed it for, bed was a bit soft but this is personal preference and we had okay sleep. Was loud on night but your above a pub so expected with territory, flashing lights outside window were distracting when getting to sleep. Chef was unavailable on Saturday morning which happens and he came and explained to us that night and offered a refund for that, which was very much appreciated and we thank you so much for this, i think the chef must have not been in sunday morning either but we had a portable hob and a few things left for us to fix our own in the breakfast area so this was okay. Emergencies are bound to happen so thanks for the explanation on Saturday evening. I'm sorry we didnt mention but i just would like to bring the owners attention to the photos on hotels.com, when i booked the images showed a double room with a tv in and a little seperate sink, im not sure whether this was a little mistake or overbooking of that room type etc but would just not want others to book and expect a tv etc in their room and then complain about it. Saying that we both were not overly bothered since the wifi was great and when we had a busy day we were able to watch some things using our phone. Unfortunately the bin had been missed in the room when we checked in but I understand things can get overlooked when your busy. Good overall, thankyou.

Worried about using the showers, as lots of black mould. The single toilet was clean, though. Spilled coffee/liquid on the floor outside our room door. Room dated and in need of decorating. Aerial for the tv was loose, so the tv kept going off. Rusty radiator. Coffee granules on the carpet, stuck to my feet. Dried up coffee. Dirty mugs. Blood and scratches on our van in the morning, after parking it in the side street! Bits in the bitter. Had to cook our own breakfast and no eggs available, so a full cooked breakfast ended up being bacon on toast. Still, you get what you pay for.

We would definitely stay again
Second time of staying at the Oddfellows Arms (M27). I really enjoyed the stay here, the first night myself and my girlfriend were in a dorm room. We easily fit onto a single bed which was surprisingly comfortable. The second night we stayed in a double room which are priced amazingly. The bed was comfortable, you could not hear anything from the dorms and the showers were always hot, which is a bonus at cheaper hotels. You have fresh bedding, towels, topped up teas and coffees everyday! Free parking nearby too! Well definitely be back. A massive thanks to Pete who is a great manager. - Josh & Beth

Stay at your own risk
This place was terrible in every way possible, dirty bedding, bin overflowing with dirty tissue, lock on bedroom doors didn't work, owner said the hall was longer than it should be so if there was a fire we would have no choice but to get into another room that might have an emergency window. Breakfast left out from 12 midnight for the next morning, but told not to eat to much, the smell of weed was terrible, the owner literally stuck his nose in the cup to smell the milk in the room to see if it was ok, coffee in the jar was black and dried to the sides, dirty red towel in room. I left the building and drove around searching for somewhere else to stay and i found a lovely place that i would highly recommend called britaina Hotel, i lost out on money as i paid in full at the Oddfellows, omg i cant put into words the state of this place,
