Advantages: Great service, modern rooms

Disadvantages: No pool

I recently stayed at the Crowne Plaza Manchester Airport prior to an early morning flight in Terminal One. I have stayed in numerous times now due to the location of the hotel and I have never yet been let down by their service.

The reception area is large and welcoming and their are plenty of check in staff to assist in order to ensure that you are not waiting to long. Directions are clearly given to your room and you can pay cash for your room in advance or provide a credit card swipe. I always find the staff to be very courteous and polite and they are always happy to deal with any queries that I may have.

The rooms are large and modern, having undergone a recent redevelopment throughout the hotel. They all feature modern decor and comfortable furnishings and I always have a good nights sleep when staying here. There are the usual facilities in the room, large television, radio, desk, telephone and wifi connection available. The bathrooms are also large and are kept very clean with complimentary shampoo and soap etc provided.

There is a large restaurant in the hotel which also offers room service. Its not cheap, however I think it is reasonable in comparison to other hotels which I have stayed in and the drinks are of a reasonable price too. Room service is also available at a slightly higher charge, but the service is always quick and efficient and the food is always nicely cooked and delicious.

There is a gym available for guests also, however unfortunately there is no longer any pool which I personally think is a big loss as I used to enjoy an evening or early morning swim.

The hotel itself is located within easy reach of all terminals and it also offers a complimentary shuttle service. There is a large car park and if you wish to leave your car there long stay you can take it to the long stay car park which is attached by a sheltered walkway for convenience of getting back to the hotel.

Overall I would highly recommend this hotel.

Summary: Great service, great hotel.
