Top hotels in Ancoats
Clayton Hotel, Manchester Airport
The hotel was good with excellent efficient transport to airport and train station. My only negative is that the self service card check in resulted in us having no information about meals, checkout times, transport times Wi-Fi etc, I feel this needs to be addressed for future bookings
