Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Manchester - Airport By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Manchester’s Music Scene

Modern, relaxed, and perfectly located, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Manchester - Airport By IHG offers concert-goers a smart and stress-free stay just minutes from downtown Manchester. With easy access to the Verizon Wireless Arena and Boston Manchester Regional Airport, this hotel blends comfort and convenience in a low-key, traveler-friendly atmosphere. Enjoy a free hot breakfast, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and a relaxing indoor pool and whirlpool to recharge before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a quick drive from major concert venues like the Verizon Wireless Arena, making it a great home base for seeing your favorite acts. The calm location just outside the city center means quieter nights for post-show recovery. Late check-in (from 3 PM) makes it easy to arrive when it suits you, and the airport proximity means less travel stress for those flying in for a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends needing a comfy, affordable launch pad for a concert night
- Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list tour stop
- Couples combining live music with a romantic weekend away
- Fans who want peace and quiet after a loud night out
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want perks like breakfast and a pool

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant open late, the hotel serves a free hot breakfast daily — ideal if you’ve been out all night. There are several restaurants and fast food spots a short drive or walk away, and with in-room coffee makers and nearby convenience stores, late-night munchies are covered. Room service isn’t available, but the friendly staff can recommend local delivery options.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more of a chill retreat than a party spot, but you're never far from the action. Manchester’s downtown bars, lounges, and live music joints are just a few minutes away by car or rideshare. Whether you're looking for a local brew or a dance floor, you’ll find something nearby to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and excellent location close to both the airport and local attractions. Many reviews highlight how quiet and restful the hotel is, even when concert nights bring crowds to town. The indoor pool and hot tub are also a hit for post-show unwinding.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the decor feels a bit dated, and while breakfast is free, options may feel repetitive for longer stays. No on-site bar means you’ll need to head out for drinks — but that’s nothing a quick Uber can’t fix.

The Bottom Line

A reliable, quiet, and well-located option for concert-goers who want comfort without the chaos — and a hot breakfast to start the next day right.
