Does anyone know?  I'm coming by bus from London so once I get to the bus station in Northampton, how far is it to the hotel?

I'll prob. take a taxi (I'll be really tired by then).
OK, I'll get on the Google maps and see what I can find out.

Are the taxis expensive??

Any help is appreciated.

It's very, very close, if you don't have vast amounts of luggage, then it's easily walkable in a couple of minutes.

You'd pay the minimum fare for a taxi, which may be £3-£4

If you come out of the right entrance of the bus station, you can actually see the Park Inn hotel.

(I got funny looks for asking for directions.)

Very handy to note is that the Park Inn hotel is a bright blue building. Can't be missed! :)

It's nicer on the inside :D

I only ever used the stairs because the lifts took a while to come (if you're facing the lifts - go into the lobby on the left handside and follow the wall that'll be on your right. Then you'll come to them. ;p)

No problem. ;p (I got over my fear of lifts because I worked on the 7th floor of a hospital for a long while and it's a long way up by stairs.)
