Excellent stay at Wilmslow Premier Inn
Pros:

My stay was excellent, room spot on, comfy bed and great shower. Staff and the front desk were excellent, we had booked 2 nights under different bookings but he made sure we could stay in the same room both nights, very much appreciated.

Way too much noise
Pros:

Nice room, comfy bed ...all I would expect. Unfortunately my ground floor room was nx to reception and close to the door leading to first floor so therefore the noise of doors opening and closing and people passing the room late into the night, and early this morning, spoilt our stay and prevented anything like a good nights sleep (my daughter had the room nx door and had the same experience)

Overnight stay for airport
Pros:

After staying here overnight we realised at the airport I'd lost my wallet containing cards, cash etc. Not sure where and no time to ring round.
On arriving in Greece, the hotel rang my mobile and said the housekeeper (Magda) had found it in our room. They kept it for me in the safe until our return 2 weeks later.
Wonderful service once again from Premier Inn, thank you to the lovely staff and especially Magda.
Perfect hotel for Manchester airport, very comfortable and clean, nice pub/restaurant next door and free car parking too.
Excellent, will definitely return.

Not in a heat wave!
Pros:

I have been visiting this hotel for many years. My stay is booked in advance for 2 nights in June/July/August. For the past 4 visits, I have hit a heat wave in Manchester!

I have stayed at a range of hotel in this area. I like this hotel for its location, the walk in shower and the staff. As I spend a good deal of time out of the hotel I am not concerned that breakfast is not available on site. Some options are offered for a small fee at reception.. The rooms conform to Premier Inn spec, so one knows what to expect. The staff are friendly and helpful. The core of the team have been in Wilmslow some years and take a pride in their work. They make my stay as comfortable as they can.

On this recent stay, I found the wi-fi less reliable than on previous visits, despite it having been renewed. I was upgraded to 'ultimate ' but this too was not reliable. Very frustrating.

Although each room has a fan, it is noisy and makes little difference to the temperature in the room. The bedding is synthetic and not conducive to sleep on a hot night.

After several years suffering these regular heatwaves, in Premier Inn, Wilmslow I will be reluctant to book again in the summer months, unless there is air con and more reliable wi-fi at the hotel.

I am sure I am not the first and unlikely to be the last, to report these issues!

Clean, comfortable and quiet hotel convenient for Manchester Airport and Wilmslow
Pros:

As with all the Premier Inns we have stayed in, the bed was really comfortable and the shower was modern and efficient. Staff were very friendly. The hotel is quite small but rooms are clean and there is a lift available to the 2 upper floors. we had a room at the back which was very quiet and the hotel is not overlooked. In fact there are lovely walks across Lindow Common which start just opposite the hotel. There is a restaurant and bar adjacent to the hotel but it is a shame there is no breakfast option without driving into Wilmslow.

Disappointing Premier Inn
Pros:

Disappointing Premier Inn. Needs modernising. No air con. Wasn't given a WiFi code on checking in and room 4 next to reception has an annoying rythmic electrical noise coming from wall behind our heads which affected our sleep. Beds were comfy though and location to airport parking was convenient. Had to park in overflow car park due to busy restaurant next door but wasn't too much of an issue.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Great hotel in a good location, which was clean and well maintained. Good sized car park right next to Hickory's (although they don't do breakfast), and the staff were always super helpful. My only gripe was the lack of food on offer (there was porridge and chocolate bard etc) but given the price they charge, you can't go wrong..

Three quiet nights' sleep
Pros:

Rather weirdly, the hotel is hidden behind Hickory's Smokehouse with no branding visible on the main road. It looks quite scruffy from the outside but our room was fine and, most importantly, very quiet. The only disappointment was the size of the bath - not really big enough to lie in but ok as a shower.

NB. No breakfast at the Premier Inn or the Smokehouse but plenty of options in the town.

What a lovely hotel!
Pros:

What a lovely hotel! It was clean and comfortable! Everything was in good condition. As recently we stayed in a Premier Inn that was not that nice, unfortunately, even though it was not an old one. Good stay after arriving in a late flight. I would return and recommend!

Impossible to complain
Pros:

Great price, close to Jet Parks car park and an excellent restaurant next door.
Arrived at 5pm, check in took 2 minutes. Restaurant next door is very popular, and for good reason. We were a family of 6 and next time we know to book a table, but still got seats at bar. Food excellent.

Best Value for Money I’ve Experienced at a Hotel
Pros:

I visited in February and felt entirely comfortable the entire time, and especially well accommodated. The value for money is unmatched, the building and rooms are exceedingly well-kept, and the staff are very friendly, particularly the girl on reception Rebecca, whose amiable manner and attentive attitude greatly enhanced the quality of my stay. Highly recommend.

Usual Premier Inn Exprience, Except for Woefully Inadequate Parking
Pros:

Premier Inns are hotels where you are usually sure of getting a clean, comfortable stay, with staff well versed in customer service skills. Wilmslow is no exception to this, but there is now a major problem for traveling guests. The (independent) restaurant next door has now become so popular that the shared car park is woefully inadequate for the site. Arriving at 4pm on a Saturday night and snagging what was probably the last available space was somewhat of a surprise (and the 'out of space' parking can make maneuvering in the car park tricky, not to mention many of the spaces are quite tight). There is a small car park opposite for Lindow Common, but this is technically "no overnight parking" so you could always take a risk that it's not enforced, but having lived in Wilmslow for a number of years in the past, I would be concerned that I wouldn't return to a full set of windows in the morning.

The location of the hotel is a little way out of the town, 10-20 minutes walk along the main road, where there are a variety of restaurants (the Thai "Naa Kin" is very good, and you always get a good curry at "Barinda"). Beware, however, that the main road is very busy and only has a made up pavement on the opposite side to the hotel. Crossing the main road after 5pm on a Friday night can take a few minutes and a mad dash - this is Wilmslow driving after all. You can cut through Lindow Common, but this can be muddy and is unlit so not recommended in the winter months.

In short, if not relying on the car park, then recommended (get room 207 if you can). However, if traveling by car, not recommended. Unfortunately, this means we're unlikely to return.

Great Option if flying from Manchester
Pros:

We stayed one night as part of a package with Meet & Greet Parking at T1.
The receptionist was extremely pleasant, helpful and friendly, explaining everything we needed.

Our room was on the 2nd floor and there is a small lift if required. The room was clean and spacious, and the bed very comfortable. It had a walk in shower, which I prefer (with my dodgy knee!) and the room temperature was pleasant. There was a fan of needed and heating too. Tea/coffee etc was supplied and you could collect more from reception if needed.

The hotel is next to the Hickory Restaurant. We didn't eat here, but it looked great.

Parking was free/included and it's only a 19 min or so drive from Manchester Airport. Perfect.
