Manchester Airport Hotels
from: Adrian KinleyThe Crown Plaza Hotel and The Bewley Hotel are two Manchester airport hotels that are just five minutes walk from either of the airports terminals.
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 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.
There is a bar and dining area with food reasonably priced. An ATM is in the reception area which I found great for just getting the amount of GBP I required whilst waiting for my connection. The Bewley also offered me a wake up call and a shuttle service to my terminal if I did not fancy the 5 minute walk at 4am.
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.
They offer a shuttle service although you should check as it depends on the security level the UK is currently on as to wether you can be dropped off at the terminal entrance due to the attempted suicide bombing at Glasgow airport. As the Crown Plaza and The Bewley are only five minutes walk away, this is not a problem. There was no ATM within the hotel although they did offer internet connection through a LAN free of charge.
If you are flying on a short business trip such as Manchester Gatwick, The Crown Plaza offer competitive airport car parking wether you are a guest or not. Priced at 15 ($30) a day when I was staying, I could not see anything cheaper.
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.
