I always take a yoga mat with me where ever I go- so on recent trips to Manchester (where my son is at  university) my mat came with me. I stayed in the city centres Crown plaza which is in a fantastic location for wandering around the city centre...The beds in this hotel are AMAZING as are the staff, and they have a great Sunday night deal should you ever find yourself in Manchester on a Sunday night... Wouldn't it be fantastic if hotel rooms provided yoga mats along side the mini bar-thus catering for all needs ;-) I definitely will always pick this hotel over the others I have stayed in-in Manchester 70 SHUDEHILL    MANCHESTER  ,      M4 4AF   ENGLAND
