Room was nice, could have been cleaner. Carpet was grubby, but overall good value for money for a budget hotel

Clayton Hotel, Manchester Airport
The entire hotel is in need for an upgrade/overhaul. Very tired. Bar area okay and staff very friendly. Overnight car park £30! Extortion like pretty much ALL airport car parking. I wouldn’t stop here again.
