It is closed after an agreement between the owners and the operators of asylum accommodation Serco.
According to Connor Rand, MP for Altrincham and Sale West, and a spokesperson for Trafford Council, it is to be used for asylum seekers who are awaiting caseworker consideration.
The hotel, which The Messenger is not naming, is at least the second hotel in the area to be used in this way after another at the start of last year.
There is a big backlog of around 120,000 cases across the country and the use of hotels comes at a cost of an average of around £8m a day.
There is a commitment by central government to cease the use of hotels but the Home Office said the system is under “unprecedented strain”.
Mr Rand is in contact with colleague and Asylum Minister Dame Angela Eagle to ask for a resolution to the situation “as quickly as possible”.
He said: “I’ll push the Home Office to get the claims of those in [the hotel] processed as quickly as possible so the situation can be resolved.”
A spokesperson for Trafford Council said: “This is a Home Office decision and not a council decision but we’ll be supporting the asylum seekers with their immediate needs including safeguarding.”
The Trafford Conservatives are arranging a community meeting with invitees including Mr Rand, the council and the police.
A post on social media said the details of the community meeting are to be determined but due to demand it will be ticketed.
A spokesperson for the Home Office said: “We remain absolutely committed to ending the use of hotels for asylum seekers and we continue to identify a range of accommodation options to end their use.”
