kapaa205 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Looking for a little advice on Manchester Airport, July 8th, 1 night. We have a connection and need to spend a night in Manchester. We have an early flight on Sunday, July 9th and would like to stay near the airport. I would love to book something on priceline but am a little concerned.....most of the hotels on the area seem to want only 2 people in each room. We are 2 adults and 3 kids...I know I will need 2 rooms but will it be a problem having and extra kid in one of the rooms. The best deal I have found is a prepaid rate of $53 at the Travelodge Airport hotel. (I looked at your Support Betterbidding link at the travelodge site but it seems like its just for US properties:????) Some of the 4 stars in the area get bad reviews so I'm a little concerned if I go the priceline way. If anyone is familiar with this area and know if the above hotel is walking distance to a small town (places to eat), please let me know. Also would it be worth our while to go into the city for the afternoon (we arrive around noon), public transport. I saw someone get the Marriott not to long ago and it looks nice but they paid a lot more than I would like at this point being that I need 2 rooms. Thanks in advance for any advice. Link to comment
WillTravel Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 From the reviews, it sounds like you need a car or taxi and not public transport, but it sounds like a good place:http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews...er_England.htmlTry this site to see if you can get any deals:http://www.holidayextras.co.uk/With the five people, I guess the main issue will be whether the staff notices. If they do, then you could have a problem. Also, the rooms are likely to be tiny, so having one parent in each room might work out better. Link to comment
Blueskies Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Kapaa the rate for your date on the travelodge website is Link to comment
kapaa205 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Thank you both for the quick replies. The reviews look good and will probably end up booking this....my only concern is spending a whole afternoon evening with 3 kids (9,7,3) with nothing to do. The Marriott has a lovely pool which they would love. (No guarantee it would come up on priceline at a cheap rate). Is it okay to bring young children to pubs in England for a bite to eat:)?

kapaa205 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 (I looked at your Support Betterbidding link at the travelodge site but it seems like its just for US properties:????) .The travelodge that I'm interested in did not show up when I went to your support site.......maybe this one is not the same at US properties????.I am still debating on this hotel as to what to do given the boredom factor of 3 small kids with nothing to do.

kapaa205 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Just wanted to update. We went ahead and booked the Manchester Airport Travelodge (unable to book it through your support site) for 26 pounds. We hope to rent a car and drive to the nearby Peak district for a few hours.

jedikiah Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 The Romper mentioned above seems to be some miles away in Stockport - this is the one I think must be near by as the airport is specifically mentioned: http://www.pub-explorer.com/lancs/pub/romperringway.htmChildren still welcome though ...
