Liked: A substantial, cosy & characterful, somewhat 'creaky', historic Inn. The location is IDEAL for Truro Centre, literally just a 1 minute stroll to the heart of shopping and right on Lemon Quay. The availability of secure free parking is also a major bonus. The staff were helpful, and the older ladies serving at Breakfast were so very cheery & welcoming. Room was comfortable enough, with aircon available on the 3rd floor (only). Clean and functional bathroom. Disliked: It wasn't ideal to discover that our room was on the 3rd floor - and the hotel has *no lift* (Grade 2 Listed), since my wife currently has a dodgy knee - but this was entirely MY fault for not checking at the time of booking (We probably should have queried whether anything lower was available at check-in, but hey-ho.) We were somewhat surprised to learn that any cooked items were charged in addition to the continental breakfast included in the room rate - which took the edge off our breakfast experience a little. A really hearty breakfast is an easy way for Hotels to differentiate their service in a cost-effective manner, so we felt that this was a strategic mis-step at Mannings. We didn't eat at the Hotel otherwise, but menu looked good.
