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.

Regardless of the day of the week, a room at The Bewley will cost you 79 ($160). Regarded as a 3 star, I would class it a 3.5 thanks to the newly fitted wireless system that is included in the price of your room.

If you found this review whilst searching for Manchester airport hotels then its probably a given that you simply need a place to rest and freshen up whilst you wait for your connection and if that is the case, you will find The Bewley well suited.

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.

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.

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.
