9/10 Wonderful! (4,746 reviews)

Room was clean but sparse, and quite compact with one extended length window. Bed was very comfortable and coffee/tea/hot cocoa, bottled water and cookies were the amenities. Bathroom was wet-bath style but worked ok. Touch-pad light, heating/cooling, and blind controls worked fine and if you have smartphone, check-in, digital entry key, and check-out all worked fine, thought elevators were sometimes picky with the smartphone digital key to allow access to floors that rooms were on. Would stay again for overnight, but probably not more than one night.

The history of the airfield from 1916 and it's use by the RAF and civil airlines.

Manston started its Aviation days as a Royal Naval Station in 1916, with a base at Westgate Bay for seaplanes. The early airfield was on the area now occupied by the passenger terminal.

By 1917 Manston airfield had grown to include four underground hangars, its own railway line to Birchington, a power station to generate electricity, barracks for 3,000 men and even an indoor swimming pool.

After WW1, training of airmen in airframe maintenance and engine repairs was taught in the School of Technical Training.

1940 and WW2 brought the Battle of Britain. Barnes Wallis arrived in 1943 to test his bouncing bomb at nearby Reculver, before the Dam busters carried out their famous raid. Roland Beaumont arrived with the Typhoon which came to be the most successful ground attack aircraft in WW2.
