Clayton Hotel, Manchester Airport
The room was clean but had some grout missing in bath and the sink was chipped several places. The staff were great and very helpful. I would stay again.

TRIBE Manchester Airport
I have stayed here before and have been very happy with the hotel and staff. My flight was very early, before breakfast, so I can't comment about that but the bedroom is very clean and tidy with everything in it that you need. I will happily stay there again.
