Extortionate prices for the food and bar!
10 Jun 2026
Handy for the airport, not for the wallet, extortionate bar and food prices ruined the stay. Geoff Willis, Owner at Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, responded to this review It’s disappointing to hear the bar and food pricing left such a strong impression, especially when the stay itself should feel simple and convenient before heading to the airport. Pricing around airports can be a little higher, but it shouldn’t take away from what should be a smooth stay.I’d be keen to understand what specifically made it feel that it spoiled things, as many guests choose to head out locally or order in if they prefer alternative options. There’s usually a way to keep the overall experience feeling good value for a short stay.That said, your feedback matters and will be reviewed. We always want to strike the right balance between convenience and fairness.Shame we didn’t quite get that right on this occasion.Warm regardsGeoff WillisDeputy General Manager

Not airport hotel
07 Jun 2026
Location: Not close to the airport or the train station that we had searched for. Had to get taxis costing £15 each way.. Not possible to walk as there were no pedestrian route.Hotel: room 114 was poor decorative order. Bed side lamp shade was a mess as though someone had fallen into it and needed replacing, stains on carpet and generally felt grubby. Shower room needed an update.Staff: were all lovely and very friendly and can’t fault them at all.Breakfast: was good with decent selection of hot and cold food. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again and the airport reference in the title shouldn’t have been included as it is not located close to it so really put us out as this is what we needed. Geoff Willis, Owner at Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, responded to this review I’m really glad you highlighted the warmth of the team and enjoyed breakfast – those are things we take real pride in, especially before an early flight.I do want to gently clarify the location point. Our position, at 1.9 miles from the terminals, is clearly shown across booking sites, maps and our own website, and many guests choose us knowing it’s a short taxi or bus ride rather than being on the terminal grounds. That said, I completely understand how disappointing it feels when the location doesn’t work for your specific plans.Your comments about room 114 are taken seriously. The lamp, décor and shower condition have been flagged for review, as that “grubby” feeling isn’t what we want anyone to remember.I appreciate the balanced feedback and I’m pleased the friendly team still made a positive impression during your stay.Warm regardsGeoff WillisDeputy General Manager

Father / Son trip to the UK
06 Jun 2026
Fantastic stay. Had to get used to having just a fan for AC which was hilarious and a bit of a culture shock coming from the US to the UK. Would stay again. Hotel is right next to the airport and a 5 min drive by shuttle to hotel. I would highly recommend using the shuttle. It’s a big difference from paying £6 for it compared to £16 by traditional taxi. Geoff Willis, Owner at Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, responded to this review A father‑and‑son trip is a special one, so it’s great to know we fitted so neatly into that adventure. The fan instead of full air‑con does tend to raise a smile with our overseas guests, and I’m glad you took it in good humour — our public areas are air‑conditioned, and we try to keep rooms comfortable with fans for a straightforward overnight airport stay.Being right by the airport clearly worked in your favour, and it’s good to hear the shuttle made things simpler and more cost‑effective compared to a taxi. That little saving often feels like a win when you’re travelling as a family.Really pleased we could provide a comfortable base before heading to the airport, and nice to know you’d choose to stay again. Glad we could play a small part in those shared travel memories.Warm regardsGeoff WillisDeputy General Manager

Convenient for airport
18 May 2026
We stayed here when we had an early flight from Manchester airport. It's about a 10 minute taxi from the airport and there is a free shuttle bus as well. We told the concierge we were getting married abroad and they gave us two free drinks which was a nice touch. The rooms were decent size and beds were comfy would stay here again. Room cost £87 for the night as I'm and IHG reward member Geoff W, at Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, responded to this review Thank you for your review and for choosing us for your early flight. I’m glad you found the hotel convenient for the airport and enjoyed the comfort of the room and beds. It’s lovely to hear the team were able to add a special touch to your stay with the complimentary drinks – congratulations on your upcoming wedding abroad.Our location is clearly shown as just under two miles from the terminals, and many guests find the short taxi or shuttle journey a good balance between convenience and value. It’s also great to know you felt your IHG Rewards member rate offered good value.Thank you again for your kind comments, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back.Warm RegardsGeoff WillisDeputy General Manager

Decent enough
18 May 2026
Clean, comfortable, decent food and drinks although quite expensive.20 mins from airport after you drive round all the roads to get to it.Would stay ogain Geoff W, at Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, responded to this review Thank you for your feedback. I’m pleased to hear you found the hotel clean and comfortable and that you enjoyed the food and drinks during your stay. As an airport‑area hotel, our pricing is set to remain competitive locally, though I do appreciate your comments on cost.Our location is clearly marked as just under two miles from the terminals, and while the road layout can make the journey feel longer, many guests prefer the quieter setting away from the immediate airport site.It’s great to know you’d choose to stay with us again – that’s always encouraging to hear. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.Warm RegardsGeoff WillisDeputy General Manager
