TRIBE Manchester Airport
Staff were fabulous - so accommodating. I’d like to thank the staff in the restaurant when I arrived late for dinner, and Jo and Kemi at breakfast. The rooms are well priced, comfortable and have everything you need for a comfortable pre-flight stay. I’ll keep returning here every time.
