Manchester Airport Hotels
Manchester Airport Hotels are rated, on average, 4.1 out of 5 by 481 Airparks customersBritannia Airport Hotel Manchester Airport Absolutely wonderful Mrs Armour 25 Sep, 2022
Premier Inn Heald Green Manchester Airport Meet and greet car park service excellent. But instructions on location of car and key collection were hopeless, it wasted so much of our time, and I think the staff and Gregs must be getting pretty fed up with Airparks!!
Bought as package with Premier Inn overnight. Terrible hotel, most unlike the Premier Inn brand. Dreadfully Hot. No aircon, dirty, no bar or restaurant, just a very bad Beefeater next door. NO LIFTS. Right under the runway approach, incessant noise, not a wink of sleep. Never again. Mrs Popplestone 19 Aug, 2022
Clayton Manchester Airport Quite shabby service really.
Struggled to find parking space on arrival.
When we returned from holiday, were quite rudely told that our car was, and I quote "somewhere on the car park round the back" which then took us an age to find. no help, or indication of where it might be parked given.
When we eventually found it , almost every setting within the vehicle had been altered. Aside from the seats and mirrors, which we obviously would have expected to be changed, but even the radio station was different!! Mr Garratt 25 Sep, 2022
