    Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport - Clean bath

    Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport

    (5 reviews)

    My first business trip ever for 3 weeks and got put up here and so glad I did! First I must note…read moresince 2005 I've kind of blacked out holiday inns since being robbed at gunpoint not once, but twice at Holiday inns at New Orleans and Memphis , but actually did t hesitate here as it was NOT USA and a clean safe location in Stockport by the airport. Only a short walk to the office , I had an upper room in a corner , a very comfy bed and clean bath to spend my time. Breakfast every day was an English breakfast with scrambled eggs, beans, sausage, bacon, tomatoes, yogurt, cereal, breads, fruit, really all I needed for an early start to the office for this stay. The ladies managing the breakfast were so pleasant and attentive. I actually look forward to seeing them in the morning and missing them a good day. Coffee machines offered plenty of options, including espresso, Americano, really whatever you want as well as fresh orange juice and apple juice every morning. There were quite a few large groups of kids coming in throughout this period but the staff seemed to manage them quite well, mostly in for dance or sporting events but boy did they take up the hallways and breakfast some mornings. They do have an all night menu or at least a couple of taps for beer , but the location was perfect to walk into town finding many options for dinner and entertainment after a busy day at work. Located next to the train station actually was quite a perfect location as excursions for the weekend to York for Liverpool easy and inexpensive . Fitzpatricks just out the front door for a bite, grocery, and gym all next to the hotel were well utilized and made the trip pleasant. For a business traveler or personal., very pleased with the stay and again could not be happier with this staff mostly managing breakfast who I engaged with Dailey for just a pleasant stay for an extremely long time in from the states. Highly recommend.!!!

We arrived late in the evening and were quickly given our room. The host recognized us as IHG Priority Club members and offered us additional points or free beverages. We took the points towards our next free night and the nice host still gave us a couple drink tickets. From that moment on I knew we were going to have a good stay at the Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport. We took our luggage to the room and came back down to enjoy some dinner in the restaurant on the ground floor. We ordered some garlic bread, a side of fries, mac and cheese bites and the loaded nachos with Texas spicy bean and vegetable chili. The meal was good for hotel food. Breakfast was included and even starts at 04:00 for the people with early flights. Fresh start is 04:00-06:30 daily and Express start is 06:30-10:00 daily. They also offer to go sacks for those that want to take your breakfast with you. Highly recommended and would stay here again if the opportunity arises.

    This is an airport location so it comes with caveats. First…read moreoff somehow this airport has very early morning flights so if one wants to avoid traffic or trekking in from suburbs this would do the trick. It's within a short walk from the terminals provided you aren't hauling large suitcases. There is a shuttle service but one has to book ahead at a nominal charge. I would say this is one more like a motel as opposed to a hotel with rooms starting at ground level sans opening out to the elements. The ground level can get really loud with kids running around and extreme level of noise from the bar restaurant area. Luckily the service is really good and helpful so kudos for that. Room is ok and clean. Surprisingly I did hear planes thinking it would have next level sound proofing. After cleaning up I slept well and got an early start to trek back.

    Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. Typical airport hotel in the sticks that has nothing around…read moreit within walking distance sadly. A couple positives however are the Asian restaurant in the lobby, and the shuttle bus driver, Paul. The restaurant has a spread of curries, fried rice, and other mixed asian fare. I tried the duck curry and was not disappointed by the large chunks of meat and generous helping of sauce and veggies. Sadly, you have to order a side of rice as it doesn't come with any. I asked why not, they said that not everyone eats curry with rice. If it weren't good curry, I'd have been more pissed about this. Another positive is their shuttle bus driver Paul, who gave us a ride to a local pub in the hotel shuttle. Very friendly and willing to help out some stranded travelers find a hot meal outside of the hotel. He even picked us up at a predesignated time! Go Paul! Make sure to tip well, this guy deserves it. Huge downside was the morning shuttle ride to the airport. A shuttle driver in a hurry said he would take us to the terminal for United Airlines. Instead drops us off at the wrong terminal and we end up walking 15 minutes to the correct one with luggage. I'm not sure what his problem was, but I can't imagine him not knowing what the correct terminal was, especially since the airlines are listed on a placard at curbside. A sign we only read closely after he sped off post dumping our luggage out of the rear of the van. I guess there are always a few bad apples in the bunch.

    Our experience here has been top shelf since I walked through the door. A man named Pavel, at the…read morefront desk, started off our stay, by treating us like royalty. He gave us warm cookies and thanked us for being Diamond members. We were early and he found an open room for us anyway and we were in our room five minutes after arrival. Thank you so much Pavel. You made us feel extremely welcome. Our room itself was clean and comfortable. The mattress was exceptional and the pillows were awesome. I enjoyed actually being able to open the window and get fresh air. So many hotels these days do not have windows that open. I hate that. The room service good is spectacular and shows arrives within 15 minutes of ordering which is fantastic. The tuba crunch sandwich and the fish and chips were quite tasty. The breakfast is one of the better we've ever had in a hotel. Plenty of fresh choices and laid out so well. The area is immaculate and its floorspace is open and bright. The manager, an Indian man, was extremely organized and delightfully pleasant. It's clear he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend this hotel. We had a fantastic experience and will gladly stay here again.

    Doubletree by Hilton Manchester Airport is a solid choice of airport hotel if you're looking to…read morestay at or near Manchester Airport. The location is good, cross the street and it's a short walk to the train station and terminals using the skybridge. Although, depending on your luggage and the weather, you may wish to use the hotel's paid shuttle service which departs to your Terminal from the hotel's main entrance. NOTE: The hotel was originally a Hilton property but quietly branded to Doubletree in late 2020, with no other changes over than joining the Doubletree sub-brand of Hilton Hotels. The pricing at the hotel does tend to be pricey, and can often cost more than the locations in the city centre, you're basically paying for the convenience of being right near the airport. I paid £127 for a standard room. Although as a Diamond Hilton Honors member, my room was upgraded and breakfast was provided complimentary. It is a very busy hotel, so you may have a bit of a wait at check-in and to answer the phone if calling the hotel directly. There was a very pleasant staff member who helped serve me at the front desk, he provided free parking for my friends dropping me off and helped sort out a further upgrade to my room. Originally, I had only been upgraded to a Deluxe Room, but I did further enquire if it was possible to get a Junior Suite and he confirmed it would be. I was very impressed with my room, the interior of the room was comfortable, and combined with the comfort and facilities, it would be very well suited to a long hotel, and didn't seem like the usual standard of an airport hotel at all. I appreciated the mini fridge in the room which had two bottles of soda, and a small carton of milk complimentary (only provided in Junior Suites but this is a make or break for me when staying in a hotel), as well as a sofa, work area, and small dining table. I wasn't impressed with the bathroom, the shower was a standalone shower inside the bath, I found it very difficult to use as the shower was mounted to the wall, meaning you had to stand on the edge of the bath which carries the risk of the bath overflowing during your shower, or tripping over the plug. I also found the controls difficult and if my stay was any longer than one night, I would have had to make alternate arrangements. The wall-mounted soaps also would have been too high for anyone sitting in the bath to reach. I would much prefer them going back to the cute little plastic bottles which are much more convenient to use. The waste bin in the bathroom also had not been emptied from the previous guest. Gross! I did have some issues with the noise within the room, there was a lot of noise coming from the corridor. I was placed in a room on the ground level of the hotel, which could be why. The noise coming from outside the hotel was minimal, I didn't get any plane noise though, which was good considering how close they are to the airport. Breakfast as I recall starts VERY early at 5:00 am for continental, with a cooked offering starting half an hour later. I recall it ending at around 10 am. This is an idea I like, rather than starting and ending the cooked options early, they have an offering for the early birds while keeping it on a little later for the late-risers as at an airport hotel like this one in particular, they MUST cater to those with morning flights. Breakfast in general was reasonable and up to the brand's standards, in particular, I liked how they had a small gluten-free area and the freshly prepared omelettes were VERY good. Perhaps a renovation is needed of some areas of the hotel, which could be the reason the hotel was downgraded in Hilton's standards from a Hilton Property to Doubletree, but despite a couple of glaring flaws, they delivered a comfortable stay, exceeding my expectations for an airport hotel with impressive service and a good breakfast, making it the ideal stop off before or after a flight at any of Manchester Airport's three terminals. 4*

    Kind of surprised to see the low overall rating here. We thought it was plenty nice for an airport…read morehotel! We recently stayed for just one night, ahead of our early flight out of Manchester airport. Upon arrival, we were able to book the free shuttle for bright and early. If you're not in need of booking that, then you can literally skip having to talk to anyone that works there if you wanted - the entire check-in system is digital, which I thought was kind of cool. We walked in and straight up to the big screens in the lobby. Typed in our confirmation and it made us a room key. The room was decent, nothing fancy or special but all anyone could need for a brief stay. Definitely very clean overall. The bathroom was a little outdated, but again, we didn't need much. There is quite a big resturant/bar on the first floor, which we went to not long after we arrived to grab dinner. Very big, spacious, and comfy space. Service was slow, but it was nice that you could order via QR on your phone to help speed the proccess/elevate from the minimal staff. TVs were spread around with the football on so we were happy to watch that. I ordered the chicken tika and thought it was actually quite good! Loved the naan that came with it too. The dish was pricer than what it needed to be though. My father-in-law was not a fan of his chicken sandwhich, and my husband liked the pizza. The shuttle arrived exactly on time in the morning and took us too our terminal within 3 minutes! Easy in and easy out. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook here next time we're flying out of Manchester.

    Dirty, Old and Desperate…read more I stayed in room 771 and when I walked in I was instantly disappointed. It was a very old, dated room, but most importantly, it was filthy. All outlets and light switches were stained by dirt, walls were streaked with scuffs and dirt; everything looked very grimy. Carpet was threadbare and there was hair from previous occupant(s). The "cleanest" room was the bathroom and there was a light that looked like it has electrical issues and potential fire hazard. Their restaurant was trying to appear fancy, but lacked in quality, but not in price. Only thing that was good was the service in the restaurant and the shuttles. If I have to go to Manchester again, I will definitely skip this place. Not worth the money.

    You may wonder why I'm adding this Premier Inn when there is already a Premier Inn at Manchester…read moreAirport on Runger Lane but this is another Premier Inn. This one is called Freight Terminal (FT) and is located directly opposite the other Premier Inn. When Ian and I were off to Lanzarote we had to stay over in Manchester and Thomas Cook organised the Holiday Extras for us and arranged our stay in this hotel. When we arrived we weren't sure what hotel it was. After Ian jumped out our taxi to check at the first Premier Inn we arrived at he found out it was the one opposite. We had our evening meal in the restaurant which was decent enough although they did mixed up our drinks and gave us diet Pepsi. I thought it tasted a bit off, the waiter did apologise. Our room was up on the sixth floor but it was quite noisy, possibly air con units or something. I managed to get some sleep, Ian was up most of the night. We were due at the airport super early so were too early for breakfast, fortunately we didn't pay for one. We were pretty sleep deprived and Ian complained about the noise, which they offered an apology for. At this point I was only giving the hotel a lowly two stars. We stayed again when we came back from Lanazarote. Due to our plane being delayed we didn't arrive until 4/4.30am, so the time we checked in and settle down to sleep it felt it was time to get up and check out. We made a point about the noise we heard the last time so they kindly put us on the ground floor where we got a better sleep. We were still absolutely exhausted and our plane wasn't until much later on in the evening therefore meaning hanging around the airport for hours. The girl at the reception took one look at us as we checked out and said the room had no other booking and allowed us to stay longer and get some more sleep. We were very grateful and jumped straight back into bed and gave it some mighty big zeds. Premier Inn redeemed themselves and I would be happy to stay there again.

They were aware of a noise issue for that room as it was directly over the doorway and advise that we contacted customer services on our return for a refund. However, instead of having a relaxing stay to start our holiday, we were left sleep-deprived and exhausted, not good when we had 2 8-hour flights to look forward to. I rang customer services and talk with a Grace who told me that even though they had instructed all the taxis on behalf of the clients, that it wasn't covered as external noise is excluded under their T&Cs , even though they were service taxis contract by them !! con not believe that a company thier size is hiding behind T&C's . won't be staying there anymore even though we have stayed there many times before, and will take up my refund and compensation via court action.

We stayed here for two nights over the last few weeks - once on our way into England, and once on our way out - and both times were seamless. I booked ahead online, via booking.com, and would say the prices are reasonable. It's not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. The whole place was very clean and well kept, all staff we interacted with were very friendly, it's equipped with a large (and beautiful) bar/restaurant, and there is even a big outdoor patio space in their courtyard to enjoy. Our room had one queen size bed, a big chair, standard tv/desk, and a good size bathroom. It was literally spick and span, spotless. Almost to a fault because you could really smell the cleaning products/bleach in the bathroom. What was very important for us is to have a pack-n-play (or "cot" as they call it in England) in our room for our 10-month old son. I saw online ahead of time that they provide these upon request, so I called to reserve one and lo and behold there was one waiting for us in the room upon arrival. Plus it was very nice quality, looking pretty much unused. So, so appreciated! On our first night in, we ordered room service. The menu has a decent amount of options, but is a little on the pricey end if you ask me. We both opted for a burger, and it was so-so. Most importantly was the tasty wine and beer that we'd ordered as well. Very speedy delivery to the room as well. And on our second night in, we dined in the restaurant - Brasserie Blanc. What a lovely experience! The decor and atmosphere is truly delightful. Very open and spacious, with a glass ceiling in one area. The booths and seating are very pretty, with different colored couches and chairs, made up of well-match patterns and colors. The menu here is an expansion of the room service. I throughly enjoyed my fish curry! Other last things to note: there is an airport shuttle, however it's not for everyone. I believe you have to have some special kind of booking in order to use it, and it also only runs beginning at 9am. So that was a bit of a bummer having to order taxis both ways.
