Oddly enough, Aberdeen is the third most expensive city in the country to get a hotel room in.

If you're booking so far in advance, Travelodge sometimes does some cheap ass deals...

Porn Movies on the Blonde expense account ftw!

Looked into The Pack Horse... Now I know Kev isn't worried about a fancy hotel, he just wants somewhere to get his head down after a long night, but, the reviews (apart from a single entry last week, saying it was being refurbished) make it sound like Kev would prefer sleeping in the bus station.

there are a few really nice b&b's that are between 40-50 a night I stayed in when I worked up there although probabbly a good 10-15 min walk from the casino.

LOL, I didnt look at the reviews, just saw it was the cheapest.

Kev, when you go to main travelodge site click on link that says £19 rooms and put dates and aberdeen in from there.

Travelodge or silmilar is a good fallback and is cancellable right up to the day you arrive...

that means you can ring and haggle with the other hotels much nearer the day. If they are appearing on lastminute.com, or latebookers or whatever then a direct call will often get you a better deal.

Nothing is as perishable as an empty hotel bedroom
