Manchester Airport Hotels

There are several Manchester airport hotels if an overnight is required. The Bewley Hotel and The Crown Plaza are 2 that are just 5 minutes walk from either terminals 1 or 3.

Regardless of the day of the week, a room at The Bewley will cost you 79 ($160). Regarded as a 3 star, I would class it a 3.5 thanks to the newly fitted wireless system that is included in the price of your room.

The rooms are nice enough and if you are looking for manchester airport hotels than chances are you just need somewhere to get your head down while you await your connecting flight and you will find Bewleys hotel ideally suited for just that purpose.

You will find reasonably priced food in the dining area as well as bar and an ATM. A nice touch was the receptionist asking what time my flight was in the morning and then receiving an early morning call making sure I was up and reminding me how long before my flight check in was open. Having showered and gone down to check out of The Bewley, I was then offered a complimentary shuttle service to the departures.

Several Manchester airport hotels, not suprisingly, cater for the business traveler. The one I checked in to review was The Crown Plaza. Situated next door to The Bewley, The Crown Plaza cost me 135 ($270) with breakfast included. It is classed a 4 star and I would say just about makes the grade. Room service, although on the expensive side, was available throughout the night. The TV comes with an entertainment system such as playstation games, movies etc. but all were charged to your credit card.

An internet service was freely available through LAN as was a shuttle service although no cash machine, which is a problem for people having a stop over at one of the manchester airport hotels.

One major plus for the Crown Plaza was its airport car parking facilities. At around 15 ($30) a day it seemed to be priced competitively for short stays, for instance if you were flying Manchester Gatwick for a days business in London.

I was a guest at both these hotels during July 2007 and at the time of writing would have no problems recommending either. Both the Crown Plaza and The Bewley hotel staff were pleasant and well trained. If you are on a business trip or are meeting clients at your hotel then The Crown Plaza offers that little extra luxury. If you are looking for somewhere to rest while you wait for a connecting flight then try The Bewley first as it offers good value for money compared to other Manchester airport hotels.
