    Do you want to post a link/details of the one you're looking at and then people will be able to tell you if its Hilton or not. If any of the top secret ones specify that they're airport hotels then they won't be the Hilton - thats into the city, away from the airport

    There's one Hilton in the city centre and another one at the airport. I stayed at the airport one last year and it was fine, but recent reviews do seem to suggest it's on the slide.

    Which has the hotels as the Hilton and the Crown Plaza.

    If I were visiting Manchester, I would not stay at the airport. Train or taxi back late at night is not fun. Both hotels are a hike from the station on not very pedestrian friendly roads. Use the mainstream hotel sites or travelaxe.com to search for hotels in the centre and x-reference to Trip Advisor, as you've already done.

    Malmaison often have good weekend offers on their website.

    But presumably the OP is wanting to fly from Manchester airport, not visit Manchester city centre. The hotel is probably the Crown Plaza.
