Hotels near Humberside Airport

Humberside is a small regional airport in Lincolnshire, between Grimsby and Immingham, and the choice of where to sleep depends mostly on how many minutes you want to save at check-in. Those with a dawn flight find everything a quarter of an hour away at Stallingborough, right next to the Humber's oil terminals. Those who prefer a greener break can choose the country manors between Laceby and Healing, still 15-20 minutes by car. For those who want to stay in town, with shops and the station close at hand, Grimsby remains the most practical base, even if it's the furthest from the terminal, at 20-25 minutes.
