พรีเมียร์ อินน์ แมนเชสเตอร์ M56/J6 รันเกอร์ เลน เซาท์

Simple hotel close to the airport, plenty of parking available, but it's not free! Breakfast was good. Rooms were simple enough, and they did the job. However, the room type that we booked was not available when we arrived, and there was some confusion at reception.

Usual consistent Premier Inn experience - clean, quiet and friendly. The hotel offers assistance with either getting the shuttle to the airport, or a taxi. We just opted for an Uber which was about the same price as the shuttle in the end.

Our room was entered by staff with key cards when we were in the room which isn’t acceptable

Very accessible to the airport

Check in was dreadful! On arrival 2 members of staff behind the reception desk were staring at a screen, I assumed they were dealing with 2 ladies standing slightly to one side, but when i managed to catch one of them's eye, he asked if he could help & seemed surprised that I was waiting to check in! I ushered forward the lady waiting in front of me. When my turn arrived I gave my name and that I had a room for 2 adults & a toddler & had requested a travel cot. I had no phone signal in the hotel so could not bring up my booking. He requested that I go outside to get signal which I did. On finding my online booking confirmation I went back inside & gave him the booking reference number to which he snappily told me it was wrong. I showed him. He asked me to write down my full name on a slip of paper the he proceeded to print off details of my booking thrust it at me & asked if that was me! He insisted that I had made a booking for 2 adults & 2 children. I read the booking details directly from my phone - 2 adults, one 2 year old, travel cot required. Eventually we were allocated our room & given the key. This whole process took 25 minutes, which also then put our restaurant reservation back. Not great with a tired & hungry 2 year old! (When we did get into our room, there was no travel cot. this was supplied later.) On a positive note, a member of staff who seemed to have some supervisory/managerial capacity did apologise and gave me free parking for the night. Other than this dreadful start, all was OK, just what one would expect from a premier inn.

The rooms at Premier Inn are clean, comfortable, and perfect for a quick overnight stay near the airport. It’s a great option if you have an early flight. The only downside is that overnight parking isn’t included—you have to pay extra, which feels a bit unfair given the location and short stay purpose. Still, overall

Perfect for early morning flight

One goes for the location really no frills

Overall, nice hotel.
