Now, let’s talk about the all-you-can-eat breakfast. It’s not optional. You must go. For the love of all that is holy, book the room with breakfast included. Seriously.
Premier Inn Man Airport (m56/j6) Runger Lane South | £19pp Deposits
The buffet has everything: crispy bacon, sausages that don’t taste like cardboard, and scrambled eggs that are actually fluffy. Plus, there’s a toaster you can fight with like it’s a competitive sport. “Why won’t you toast evenly?!” you’ll yell. It’s part of the experience.
And the pastries? They’re not croissants you’d find in Paris. But at 5:30 AM, a warm pain au chocolat feels like a Michelin star masterpiece. Just saying.
The staff: unsung heroes
I have to give a shout-out to the staff. They’re those cheerful humans who smile at you when your face is a tired mask of despair. How do they do it? Witchcraft, probably.
One receptionist helped me print a boarding pass at 11 PM while I was clearly running on fumes and bad decisions. She didn’t even judge. That’s service. That’s a Premier Inn superpower.
