Airport Inn

The hotel has 126 guest bedrooms and each room has comfortable beds, a television, tea and coffee making facilities and en-suite bathrooms. There are two wheelchair-accessible rooms on the ground floor.

Wi-Fi wireless internet access is free in public areas and in the rooms you get two 20-minute free Wi-Fi sessions per day, or you can pay £7 for 24 hours unlimited access.

The Airport Inn hotel features the Terrace Restaurant which has a big full English breakfast, plus a lunch and dinner menu. It is not the greatest hotel restaurant, but fortunately, there is a nice country pub, the Honey Bee, a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

The hotel also has a gym with a heated swimming pool, a spa pool, sauna, steam room and squash courts. However, there is an additional £5 charge to use these facilities.

The hotel has free parking and stay and fly packages are available.

The hotel is 6.8km (4¼ miles) from the airport terminal and it would take you 1½ hours to walk there. You can also take bus 88 to Wilmslow railway station, where you can get a connecting train to Manchester Airport.

The Airport Inn is a little nicer than many other hotels in the Britannia Hotels chain, although it still feels like you’ve taken a time machine back to 1982. The main issue with this hotel is that it is so far from the airport. Although there is a bus stop outside the hotel, the bus doesn’t go to the airport and it is actually much easier to reach the airport if you stay in the city centre instead.
