Manchester Airport Hotels

By: Ancient Hippy

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.

Classed as a three star, The Bewley Hotel costs 79 ($160) a night and a wireless internet connection is included in the price. The new wireless system is a nice touch and makes it easily justify its 3 star status.

The rooms are more than adequate and compared to other Manchester airport hotels, offers very good value for money. If you have a stop over in Manchester for the night then The Bewley is well suited to your needs.

Early wake up call is available for those early flights, as is a shuttle service if you have plenty of luggage and don't fancy the short walk. There is also a cash machine and a dining area with bar.

A few of the manchester airport hotels cater for the business traveler and one of these is situated right next door to the Bewley hotel. The Crown Plaza cost me 135 ($270) for the night and is classed a 4 star. For your money you get a buffet style breakfast thrown in but everything else goes on the credit card. Room service was available but prices were on the expensive side. Movies and other entertainment such as Playstation games were available but went straight onto 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.

For short business trips from the airport such as Manchester Gatwick, Manchester Isle of Man etc. The Crown Plaza offers airport car parking at 15 ($30) a day. This was the cheapest I saw on offer during my time at the airport.

During the time I stayed at both The Crown Plaza and The Bewley (July 2007) I found the staff to be eager to please and pleasant and I can recommend both these Manchester airport hotels. For the business traveler who is perhaps flying into Manchester and requires somewhere for a meeting or two and has an expense account then the Crown Plaza would be the first choice. If on the other hand, you simply need somewhere to rest up while on a long journey, The Bewley offers good value compared to other Manchester airport hotels. If you need cheaper, you may find you will need to travel into the city.
