An unsurprisingly busy but well run airport hotel with not too many frills. Breakfast was ok - a lot of choice but the quality doesn't stand out at all. My bed was a little too soft, but otherwise the room was great, bathroom up to date, and service was good. Worth it for a convenient start at Manchester airport.

I have to say I was so very impressed with the service at this particular hotel. From beginning to end the people who work here are polite and extremely willing to help in any way possible. Being a solo traveler, it is comforting to have people looking out for you - and absolutely lovely people at that! Even very early in the morning, (when I am definitely not at my best,) there were several staff members available, who with pleasant smiling faces made it much easier for me to go on my way. Thank you!

An excellent choice as it is close to the airport and has breakfast included. The staff are super helpful and welcoming. Breakfast is great. We now stay all the time in this hotel when we travel via Manchester. Rooms are clean and comfortable. They now also have a shuttle bus to the airport.

Convenient location. Clean. Good value for money. Free breakfast - including grab & go for early departures. Shuttle bus service was excellent at only £3 per person.
Would recommend this hotel.

Its fine and when not in summer is probably great. But the rooms are so warm and yes they provide a fan but you need a window open and the noise from the road is incredibly loud.

Hotel charges £14 for overnight parking in premises even for travellers who are not there for onward airport travel arrangements. That's a shame. Building is dated.No air conditioning in rooms. Very hot and uncomfortable night. Not worth going there

01.45 Went to Holiday Inn first as didn’t realise holiday inn and holiday inn express were different. Holiday Inn staff rude and unhelpful .
Once we had finally got to Holiday Inn Express the staff couldn’t have been more helpful ( I will be returning)
Only thing missing from rooms is aircon other than that I’d give the hotel and its staff 5 ⭐️

Id requested a late check out when I booked, as we weren't going to be arriving until the early hours of the morning and was told at the time to wait and see. Didn't expect much. However... When we arrived at about 3am, just off a flight, with very tired kids, check-in process was quick, late check out was offered without having to ask for it and the keys were ready so we could get straight to the room. Desk staff were really helpful the following morning too. Sometimes it's the small things that make the difference. Really good experience. Thank you.

Everything about our stay was wonderful, exceeding our expectations. Staff were very helpful and informative.

We had breakfast at a very bust time; I wonderful if it would be helpful to design/prompt a more orderly, uniform movement of guests through the breakfast food area. Perhaps it would be hard to police but guest did seem to have no idea of how to move through the food options in an orderly fashion.

Lots of parking spaces, even as we arrived late in the day. The breakfast was a bit of a scramble due to flight times and opening times of the restaurant as time was a bit short, they did however provide a 'grab and go' selection of pastries, juices etc in reception if you needed to go earlier. The only gripe was that our room did not have air con, I presumed that it would and never checked. We were in a heat wave and the room was stifling, a fan was provided which pushed warm air around the room but better than nothing, complimentary ear buds were at reception but they were pretty useless, the fan was noisy, so a terrible sleep.

Great stop over for before a flight. The lady on reception was friendly and helpful. The bar are lacked atmosphere, but most people are only there for one night, pre holiday. The breakfast was OK, no more than expected. What was convenient was the shuttle from the hotel to the airport. Cheaper than Uber or taxi.

TBH we last came to MCR 11 years ago & remembered the hotel for the breakfast. 7 night stay 2 rooms total 4 travellers. No sir conditioning but it didn't get too warm & fans were good. good housekeeping, easy self park there's a fee of course as it's only 5 mins from terminals

The front desk clerk was kind and helpful when I checked in. The morning clerk was nice. My experience was subpar or worse. I ordered food for dinner, it took 45 minutes, arrived cold and in a go box, I wanted to eat in the bar. The manager reluctantly gave me a refund for the food but wasn’t very helpful or pleasant about it. Breakfast was ok. I wouldn’t come back.

The hotel was functional, all the basics were there, not luxuriously glamourous, but I don't want that. It was all clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was good, but the self-service area was too small for such crowds of people, especially for wheelchair users who were having difficulty to manoeuvre in the narrow space.
I arrived at 1.00am, late due to train holdups, and would have liked something to eat, but there were no snacks available.
I enjoyed my stay, and would stay again.

Make sure you check before you book as this one is a short drive away from the Airport. And there's one near the airport, can easily get confused. UBER cost around £13 for short distance.

This one looked a bit more dated than the one on the door step of airport.

Friendly staff at the hotel I found.

There's a shuttle bus to airport for around £3.

I did not have breakfast which was included. If you have an early flight it's a buffet style set up in the bar area and if your traveling later I think maybe in the main restaurant.

Bars open till 1am
Main Food serviced till 21:30.

Just make sure your at the correct place as mentioned there's two one on door step of T2 and this one a short drive away from T2.

Very friendly hotel and extremely accommodating. They allowed me early check-in and late check-out, which made a big difference. Excellent value for money, and there was no language barrier at all as all staff spoke English not polish.

It’s a great option for families. I stayed for 3 nights and had a really comfortable experience. It’s about £15 by Uber into Manchester, you can use the hotel shuttle which runs every 20 minutes for around £3 to the airport or uber £7 which is very convenient.

The food at the hotel is quite basic, but there’s a Travelodge on the same grounds, and a pub called The Romper just a 10-minute walk away that serves excellent food.

WiFi is bit hit and miss especially on 2nd floor.

Overall, you really can’t go wrong staying here.

Parking very easy till we booked in and were asked to pay £14, this was not mentioned on the hotel advert with Expedia nor on the email confirming the booking. After some debate with reception the guy borrowed our phone to show us where it was, not under this hotel but scrolled down another half dozen pages and showed us it the parking charges in the general terms and conditions, while scrolling saw the booking charge had dropped by £20, so suggested they took the parking charge out of this, manager finally got involved as we were not happy.
