    I'm after the same thing, but couldn't get the search working for 'airport'. I looked on google putting airport hotel parking I think and came up with some places where it was about £75 with 2 weeks parking, and as it is at least £52 for the parking thought this was a good deal. If no-one here has any better thoughts I think it is a trip to google!

    My experiences last year were good and bad.

    The bad was a stay at the Cresta Court hotel with car parking at the Autostrong car park. The hotel is a poor 2* level and is jaded and tatty. They ask you to leave your car key, then Autostrong staff move it from the Cresta Court to their compound near the airport. We asked if we could drive the car ourselves and keep the car key but they refused. They provide minibus transport to the airport. After your hols, the minibus picks you up from the airport and takes you to their compound to pick up your car. One other thing about Autostrong..........they keep moving your car constantly throughout the period you're on holiday....they told us it's to make the best use of the limited space ::).

    The good was a stay at the Bewleys Hotel with car parking at the Carminders car park. The hotel is a good 3* level. They asked us to leave our car key but we asked if we could drive our car to the Carminders car park and they agreed to let us. When we arrived at the Carminders compound, they let us keep our car key so we know that our car wouldn't be moved while we were away. Then provide minibus transport to the airport and on the return journey.

    These are just my opinion and might help you to make your decision on Manchester airport hotel bookings.

    we used a place called carminder 2 a couple of years ag. Just outside the airport with bus to terminals every 10 mins. Was about £37 for a week. No complaints.
    Haven't got a current link and there wasn't one at the time - can't even remember where I got the phone number from - sorry!

    We stopped at the Moat House, near the end of the runway. They take you to the airport on demand almost. Includes a nights stay and two weeks parking for about £100.
    Nice place.

    Try www.holidayextras.co.uk and input your airport and dates.

    It should give you a wide choice.

    We've stayed at the Britannia country house, pretty basic but has on-site parking with mini-bus transfer to airport.
    Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.

    I flew from Manchester at New Year and stayed the night before at the Travelodge at Knutsford Services (oh the glamour) for £15. I parked at Q-Park near the airport, which I pre-booked. I had an afternoon flight so had plenty of time but if you have an early morning departure you may want to stay closer to the airport.
