Holiday Inn Manchester Airport, an IHG Hotel

All good at the hotel - the room, staff and breakfast were top notch. It was straightforwards to walk directly to the departures area. You can park free for up to 1 hr in their car park on arrival which was great for us to unpack and unwind before i moved the car to the long stay and got the (free) shuttle bus back to the airport. It was then a short (but hard to navigate) walk back to the hotel (see below).

We stayed here due to a cancelled flight, so we booked very last minute and didn't arrive until gone 9pm. The staff were so efficient in checking us in, which was appreciated since we were with our very young children; the room was already well prepared for our needs, and when we requested additional items this was met quickly and by friendly staff. The room was extremely comfortable, clean and with very modern furnishings and accessories (I particularly liked the great shower controls!). Breakfast was superb too, and catered to our needs of vegetarian items and an egg allergy.

As above, the room was large enough, and very clean which was really nice. Everything was good quality and well maintained. The proximity to T2 at Manchester was exceptional and made it very easy with an early start. The food was good and well priced for what it was. The thing that really made it stand out for me, was that breakfast starts at 5am. I have stayed at another Holiday Inn, where if you check-out early, they say you can get a "packed breakfast", which consisted of a soggy croissant and a coffee to go (decaffeinated was not on offer), which isn't value for money when you have paid a B&B rate.

Everything was perfect. I asked for a quiet room with double bed and it was provided. Comfortable bed, tea making facilities in room, bottled water, good number of channels on TV, excellent shower, fluffy towels, message left if I forgot toiletries to let reception know and they would provide. Location at T2 enabled me to access departures easily. Breakfast was EXCELLENT! I asked the Chef to cook me two well done fried eggs. He took great care to cook them to perfection and they were the best I have ever eaten. Staff friendly and accommodating to my every need.

Very convenient for terminal 2 ( 3 minute walk) especially as we had a 4 am start. The room and bed were a good size. Bed was very comfortable. Excellent shower. We used the restaurant on an evening and had a very good meal. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful.
