Manchester Airport Hotels?

[Scunner]

Hot on the heels for the Manchester Airport lounges - any recommendations for hotels (we have a very early flight)?

I'd prefer actually on airport (stroll to terminals) or away from the airport altogether. but not too much of a drive the next morning  If it's off airport somewhere with a high street or the like with a restaurant or two. Much rather have a local centre than stuck between the airport and nowhere.

Cheers!

Keith, we stayed at the Radison Blue in Jan this year, right on the walkway, about 5 mins from check in, the eating place was very good, we phoned direct I think but would also have a look online, cheaper if booked well in advanced

What about some of the Salford Quays hotels - Premier, Hol Inn Exp etc? 
Crown Plaza at the airport have parking and a shuttle.  Nice Hotel and good chinese restaurant on site (or it was when we stayed a couple of years ago)  but def not cheap for food/drink.

Also the Premier Inn at Parswood Didsbury. 10 mins walk to Didsbury Village which is awash with restaurants, or short taxi ride to west Didsbury, a whole area of in dependant eateries including one run by Simon Rimmer.
10 mins to airport by taxi at around 13 to 15 GBP

I'll second the Radison Blu, walk out of the door on to the walkway between all three terminals. Nice restaurant and bar area. Not the cheapest but you can also book car parking with them, very handy.

WOW that's some deal

Was great H, had all that luggage, I was on crutches and they were so helpful. The meal deal was an added bonus  the popped up online while I was booking. Lovely n clean, quiet rooms, a real bargain. Forgot to say and for 3£ got unlimited WiFi. The breakfast was unlimited if you ordered the full English one, you could start with the continental one.

Stayed at Brittania Country House a few times now £59. They offer airport transfers too, however, it is on the bus route to the airport.  So get the bus in for £1.60. Buses run regularly.
