Any Hotels @ Manchester Airport Offer Very Early Check in?

Any Hotels @ Manchester Airport Offer Very Early Check in?

We live in Norwich and we are going to cuba in july from Manchester Airport.
I have a bucket load of airmiles so we can fly from norwich to manchester for free the night before and on our return...

The problem is when we return from cuba it will be 7am and time we get our bags etc it will be 8:30am...

The next flight to norwich will be at 6pm or 7am the next morning.

I dont want to hang about the airport for 10 hours so would rather goto a hotel for the day or night...

So was wondering who offers the earliest check in?

    First class train home may be cheaper if booked in advance.

    Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to use the train on your return journey? They are every hour from Manchester to Norwich and take 4hrs 30 mins. You can get an advance ticket for £13 plus a couple of pounds for the train from the airport to Manchester Picadilly. You would be home a few hours earlier and it would be cheaper than paying for a hotel.

    I did look at going on the train and advance tickets worked out at £76.50 each and theres 4 of us.

    Unless im looking on the wrong site for train tickets??

    The cheap advance tickets for July will be released about 12 weeks in advance. You can find out what the options are likely to be by trying dates in the first half of May. The cheap fares can be had by splitting the ticket. E.g Manchester Airport to Manchester Picadilly, then Picadilly to Norwich or Manchester Airport to Peterborough and then Peterborough to Norwich. Eastcoast.co.uk is a good site to try.
  • The hotels at Manchester Airport are the Radisson Blu, Bewleys, the Hilton, Crowne Plaza, the Etrop Grange, Premier Travel Inn and Travelodge. Bewleys has the most honest pricing.

    I got a club room at the Crowne plaza for £68 a night , that's cheaper than room only at Bewleys, no idea about early check in though, they might have a day rate?
