Wot about the above?

 

[gaz.d]

is it within walking distance of the pubs

 

[imola_fowkes]

most important question gaz

 

[Stu DemonD]

If y'all look at Bens posts 46 & 60, this said both the choices right in centre, and near all the action

But Helzie mentioned another place, that may do a big group booking! However, I reckon just go with the Travelodge and be done with.

 

[gaz.d]

i will need to see if i can have night off work for this, if i can im there

 

[Stu DemonD]

Right, had a look at room rates:

Travelodge £60 - no £25 room rates now available

Jurys £63

TravelInn - £54.95 - looks like that wins.

I will book it later tonight, once home - whatever happens, me and Jules will be there

 

[gadge]

travel inn sounds great to me but just one question? does it have a car park? gotta have somewhere to park the chimp chariots and smile have'nt we?

 

[Babysei]

Im booked

 

[Mike1a1]

I'll be there too. Will there be more details posted at some point. ie. times and places,
I'd better get my dent fixed so the Stilo's looking all fit...

 

[ben]

Dont bank on a carpark space, but the NCP is only a fiver a day.

Travel Inn is down the other end of Broad Street (Jurys and Travelodge are in the middle) - BUT - it is almost opposite the Worx (and Nandos)... NCP is about 3 minute walk.

So thats where people have booked right?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Ben,

I think Travel Inn is the place now being booked, cheapest of the lot. I meant to book me and Jules last night, but will do so this weekend - 2pm arrival time, fyi.

 

[ben]

Done and dusted... however remember Jurys inn had the advantage of two double beds instead of two singles (which i guess makes no difference to couples, unless you push them together for a massive bed )

Might have a single free, will check this weekend with my brother, so if he's not coming, will be up for a share.

Thats the one... no its a normal multi storey, but very well lit lol... Parking is free on a sat after 5.30 on street (and free sunday) but very hard to find a space (though i do know a few secret ones ))

 

[Charlotte]

Broad Street is a bit difficult for parking it's always so busy down there of an evening. There's always the ones at the National Indoor Arena if you're up for a bit of a walk. Or these

Central Square (Holliday St) Multi Storey
Mailbox (VERY expensive!!)
Tennant Street Car Park

Those are the ones in the area of Broad Street Dont know if this helps!

 

[Stu DemonD]

I may just dump it into the NCP - we intend to get there lunchtime ish anyway - can you book in advance or not?

 

[Charlotte]

I dont think you can but dont quote me on that!
