Where to stay for Manchester University visit?

[shirley]

Heading down for open day on the 19th of June, Manchester prices are quite high, can any dibber suggest somewhere with about a 30 min drive in the morning to the Uni. Open day starts at 10am, so will have time to do a bit of driving from the hotel. Thanks xx

Britannia stockport £44.10

Do not stay at the Britannia, it's disgusting.

There are several premier inns and travelodges within 30 minutes drive of the university area of Manchester, and there’s always air bnb too

Premier Inn Stockport South is £65

Rainhill is £52 but the M62 can be chaos of a morning.

shirley where are you heading down from? Just thinking if its down on motorway maybe a services Premier Inn or Travelodge might work also? ie anywhere up to an hour outside Manchester on "your" side?

The village hotel at Ashton u lyne is a nice hotel and you could get into Manchester from there within 30 minutes and near to the M60 exit for travel

There are quite a few hotels around Haydock which would be half an hour-ish out of Manchester depending on the traffic. You would also have the option of driving in via the M6/M62 or via the A580 depending on how the traffic is that day.

DO NOT USE THE STOCKPORT BRITANNIA ! Frequently in the worst 10 hotels i the UK.

Which side of the country are you coming in from ? Just so I don't suggest something the wrong side of Manc. What kind of budget ? The Village at Bury currently 65 on the save rate.

You can’t go wrong with a Premier Inn 👍🏻
