Manchester airport hotel 2nd june

Hi
I am needing a hotel for 1 night on 2nd june at Manchester airport. I,ve narrowed it down to 2 hotels (as they have a/c and no bad reviews) these being the Radisson SAS and the Hilton. I have booked the Radisson on a flexible rate I can cancel at £115 (inc. breakfast) and I can see that the Hilton has rooms for £83 (no breakfast). Question I have is there any way to get the Radisson or Hilton any cheaper? I,ve tried various hotel booking sites and have not done any better than the rates above. Can any fellow moneysavers drag up a bargain as I think £115 is ridiculous for 1 night?

P.S. Its 1 room for 2 adults and must have a/c.Thanks for any help with this one.

    Can I ask why you would need a/c in this country?

    @cheekymole. I am used to a/c as I have it in my bedroom at home (self installed..took me weeks to fit). I find it difficult to sleep with no a/c and hotel rooms are invariably quiet warm.
    @ejones yes Bewleys looks quite good and gets good reviews but no a/c.

    Anyone else got any suggestions.??

    Crowne Plaza £74 with climate control. I went through lastminute.com for that price

    we stayed at the Manchester Radisson SAShotel last year and it was excellent. Also very very convenient for the terminals - just a moving walkway and you are there. I thought it was well worth the extra cash.

    Thanks for the reply cheekymole but crowne plaza gets slated on tripadvisor. I have stayed at crowne plaza before and they are normally excellent but this one is pants (according to tripadvisor).
    Thanks gregg1 for your comments..I,m sure it will be nice in the Radisson but it just seems too much for 1 night at an airport hotel miles from Manchester city centre.....What was good about it by the way ?
