What guests think

Across many reviews, Crowne Plaza Manchester Airport by IHG is praised for its friendly, professional staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient location within walking distance of Terminals 1 and 3, with on-site dining often described as very good.

Common frustrations include paid, limited-hours shuttle and parking charges, confusing wayfinding from the station, and maintenance issues such as weak shower pressure or temperamental heating and air conditioning.

Stayed overnight and check in as normal. Room ok for the money but sink in en suite broken in the bowl with a bad repair having been done. This meant the sinkwaate plug didn't work meaning you couldn't fill the sink to retain the water in it which for me is important. Bar and restaurant quality and service good and on par with this star of hotel. My big disappointment was the charge for their car park which i couldn't see a charge would apply in the booking details. Im staying in the hotel so where am I supposed to park if not in their car park, so whatever the price has been paid for the room you have to add on car parking fees, which to me is a rip off.i also have a blue badge and although i managed to get the last disabled parking bay I still had to pay which was £20 for one night. When i challenged this at check in I was informed the car park was operated by a company not associated with the hotel so charges apply irrespective of being disabled or not. Total rip off.....probably wont go back to that hotel again because of that.

stayed here previously because of the shuttle bus to the airport, previously it was free, its changed now and we had to book and pay for the transport ourselves, for this reason we probably won't stay here again.

Plenty of car parking, unlike most other hotels at Manchester Airport. All staff were very friendly and competent. Room was a decent size and bed was really comfy but the shower was woefully weak. Breakfast was OK but was missing some of the usual ingredients you'd expect on a full English. Free shuttle to/from airport was handy too.

Not been back since renovation. We Ate in the bar because menu was better for us, food was nice. Room not too bad smaller bathroom but sis not matter. Downside was the cost for getting the shuttle to terminal which was £3.95pp which I thought was quite a lot especially since they used to provide this service free to guests.

The hotel is quite run down, old and in need of money spent on it. Dust everywhere. The rooms are tired with shower curtains falling down. Very hard bed with only one pillow each in a double room. One bath towel, one hand towel, one water glass - are they only really catering for one person? The hotel was full of children and teenagers who were there fir a football tournament - no sign of any adukts as they ran riot around the hotel. Woken at 6.30am by peooke talking loudly to each other in the corridors.

Stayed over due to an early flight out of Manchester in the morning. You know you're a captive audience and have little in the way of variation or access to other services than the hotel so you have to suck it up. Room size - compact but functional for a one night sleepover. Also quite quiet if the windows are shut even though you're in the airport flight path. Don't sleep with the windows open however - no sleep would be possible. Bathroom - small - shoulders were touching wall and sink when on the toilet. Quite uncomfortable. Hotel itself - clean and tidy. Hotel restaurant - as always, slightly pricier than other local pubs, but the food was really good. Room air con - set to Antartic level and didn't seem to be changable - Just turn it off or you'll wake up an icicle...

Arrived from our flight at 9:30pm. Told restaurants closed at 10pm. Made it to the restaurant at 9:50pm to be told we would have to hurry up and choose what we wanted because the kitchen closes in 5 minutes. Then it took 10 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Not the professional way of greeting paying customers, when you are an airport hotel with people arriving 24 hours a day. Despite the unprofessional restaurant greeting, the food was delicious. Also Daniel who checked us in the hotel was very friendly, personable and helpful.

Check in experience was awful. Took more than 20 minutes for what should have been a quick and smooth transaction. I am unsure if the staff member was new or just did not know what they were doing ! Not something you want after a long day travelling . Having stayed at the hotel a week earlier the check in process was quick and easy so now idea why this was so difficult ! Very frustrating. The rooms however , are clean and modern and the overall stay was fine. Breakfast was pretty good quality. Staff seemed to be in short supply so service was a little dim .

The hotel was not worth the money, and the whole place required a renovation. The shuttle service to Manchester Terminal 2 is unreliable despite a recommendation from the Hotel. The description on your website is deceiving because it should specify that terminal 2 is a 20-minute walk and terminal 1 is 5 minutes. I would not have booked this hotel if this was clearer.

This was my first time staying at the Crowne Plaza hotel. It was a short stay before we went on holiday. The hotel was lovely, relaxed and comfortable. The staff were friendly and polite. Food was very good and the breakfast buffet was excellent, even for someone like me who doesn't always eat breakfast.

Booked a premium room with club lounge, which was great value, the only thing that let it down for me was the alcohol range( which i tend to find everywhere i go) whether it be airport lounges, all inclusive hols etc...i only drink dissaranno, baileys and malibu ...NOT everyone drinks vodka, gin and lager. However it certainly would'nt put me off staying again. I had a selection of hot and soft drinks along with snacks so was happy overall. Cannot comment on breakfast as we had an early flight so unfortunately was unable to sample that. Oh and lastly shuttle to terminal was extra cost too.
