Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Ironside on March 14, 2008, 07:56:16 PM i'll more than likely stay at the jurys inn
its good if you aint got the car a parking is a shuttle ride away Jd Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Dingdell on April 01, 2008, 01:25:42 AM FYI - just booked hotel for the DTD 321 next weekend through www.lastminute.com and got a room for £36. It was one of their secret hotel deals. Taxi to DTD was approx £8. Swimming pool and spa on site. Might be worth a look for BB6.

I'll tell her you said that. Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Dingdell on April 01, 2008, 01:05:21 PM Sorry - forgot to say it is £36 at The Hilton in the city centre. Stayed there last time and it was great. Highly recommend it.
Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Claw75 on April 01, 2008, 01:10:07 PM Holiday Inn is fine - that's where we'll be staying this time. I've stayed at the Hilton in the past, and that's nice too. Last time we went to Nottingham we got an executive room at the Park Plaza - very swish - kingsize bed, robes and slippers, free wine and other goodies in the room. Only downside to it was no car park there, although they offer valet parking at a charge, or you can get 30% off the NCP car park over the road.

Don't make me tell your better half what you were doing on Saturday..(and yes I would make up stuff ;) Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Dingdell on April 01, 2008, 01:16:53 PM Holiday Inn is fine - that's where we'll be staying this time.

Yes I looked at the Plaza too - it wasn't that much more on last minute - and it looks wonderful. Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: littlemissC on April 01, 2008, 01:26:00 PM park plaza is prob one of the nicest hotels in notts imo

Boldie was there. Well that was the wife's complaint anyways :( Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: boldie on April 02, 2008, 08:16:16 AM What I didn't like about the Jury's was that it was VERY noisy..loads of doors slamming during the day (as the cleaners need to do their job and the doors only close if you slam them but it's still no good if you've played poker all night ad need to catch a few hours sleep) and over the weekend it was full of drunks on hen nights and stag do's......not good in my book.
I also don't like not having a newschannel to watch while I'm staying in a hotel (they only had council telly) and a BIG nono was charging for BB access...that's just wrong. 5£ an hour or a tenner a day. I also prefer a duvet over a bed with blankets but that's mainly because I'm a fanny. Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Claw75 on April 02, 2008, 02:20:15 PM over the weekend it was full of drunks well you certainly won't find any behaviour like that on a blonde bash weekend........:) Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: boldie on April 02, 2008, 02:26:51 PM over the weekend it was full of drunks well you certainly won't find any behaviour like that on a blonde bash weekend........:) indeed ...

If you stay there I'm sure you'll be able to find someone to share a cab with :) Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Joobie538 on April 04, 2008, 10:53:49 AM ok,
I've made my mind up!! i'm arriving friday during the day, and may have time for dinner, so i've booked the hilton, the rate of £55 is only available online and is non refundable! incase anyone wants to know! Title: Re: Accomodation Post by: Ironside on April 04, 2008, 05:56:48 PM the jurys inn is 200 yards from the station and taxis are £6-8 depending on time of day
