When looking for and booking a manchester airport hotel, there are a few things to look out for:

For detailed information on any manchester airport hotel visit airport hotels guide, click on an airport name and then on any of the hotel thumbnails in the margin.
When comparing prices, the most important thing is to make sure that you are comparing ‘like with like’. Not just the same hotel (and there are 4 Britannia hotels serving manchester airport, for example), make sure the ‘package’ is the same. Parking and breakfast are the usual variants.
If you want a manchester airport hotel 'with free parking’ package holidayextras / APH / FHR are likely to offer the best prices. If you don't want parking then make sure you include superbreak and active hotels in your search.
Most ‘airport hotel and free parking’ packages include parking at the hotel, where there is limited security. If it is important to you that your car is parked in a ‘secure’ car park, make sure you book a hotel with secure parking package (or book a hotel on a room only basis and book parking separately at 1stairportparking.co.uk).
How many days parking do you need? The choice at airport hotels is not very flexible:
a. No manchester airport hotel offers a package with less than 8 days parking
b. FHR and superbreak sometimes offer a hotels with up to 21 days free parking.
c. Some hotels offer free parking after the 8 or 15 days included in the package during quiet periods. Otherwise you should expect to pay £3 - £10 for each additional day.
If you want a budget hotel or guest house superbreak and active hotels offer the widest choice.
When you are comparing the prices of hotels also consider how far they are from the airport - some of Active hotels ‘manchester airport hotels’ are over 10 miles from the airport.
Compare facilities offered by the hotel. Not all 3 or 4 star hotels are the same. Make sure the hotel has the facilities you want and that you can use them (some hotels do not let children use leisure facilities or only let them use the facilities during the day).
Check in and check out times are not consistent across hotels. Both can be as early as 11 am or as late as 2 pm. If this is important to you, make sure you know what they are.
Do you want breakfast at the hotel?
a. If you do, superbreak and active hotels are more likely to include it within the price;
b. but, make sure it is available at the time you want it. It is not unusual for hotels to only offer breakfast from 7 am midweek and 8 am at weekend.
c. Expect having breakfast delivered to your room outside ‘normal’ hours to cost extra.
If you want to stay at an airport hotel the night before and the night after your holiday, with parking in between, check the price of ‘with parking’ and ‘room only’ for both dates. Pick the best pair and (to avoid confusion) phone the airport hotels company to book (airport hotels guide will help you do this quickly and provides all of the phone numbers).
Not all ‘airport hotels’ provide free transfers to the airport. Key questions (answered by the airport hotels guide pages) are:
a. Are transfers to the airport available from the hotel?
b. During what hours?
c. Are they provided ‘on demand’ or at specific times
d. Are they free?
