It's really the next best choice to The Park Inn. I reccomend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess83 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I imagine I'll be staying in a hostel if I can find one close enough. I'll be wanting to save money where I can so I didn't book a room at the hotel where the Con is. I've stayed in hostels lots of times and don't mind but I do hope I can find one that's close by this time. I don't want to blow too much cash on cabs if I can avoid it.

Buchaa02 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 All the local Hotels including the Ibis are too expensive, there`s four of us and it would cost £320 for 3 nights. Does anyone know how far the Travelodge Northampton Upton Way is from the convention centre and is there public transport nearby or even a taxi service?

jael001 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 if you go to google maps and put in the postcodes for both it shows that they're 2.6 miles apart if you walk or 2.8 miles apart if you drive and it estimates it would take an hour to walk it or 10 minutes by car. I dont know about public transport or taxis though, but I'm sure both the hotels can call taxis for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajknight1972 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hey folks, Does anyone still need numbers for Guest Houses, B & B's etc.? Being a townie I can post some here for you and give you some idea as to the walking distance. Can't comment on them as living here I don't use them but every little helps (as the advert says!).

Buchaa02 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks for the info on accomodation, we`ve decided that we`re coming down in the car. Staying at a Travelodge in Preston overnight then travelling down the rest of the way the day after. We`re coming from Scotland so it`s a long way to drive in one day.

Kenny Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) All the local Hotels including the Ibis are too expensive, there`s four of us and it would cost £320 for 3 nights. Does anyone know how far the Travelodge Northampton Upton Way is from the convention centre and is there public transport nearby or even a taxi service? That's where I stayed for Eclipse. It takes about 15 mins and 8-9 quid in a taxi to get from there to the Park Inn, and same back, bus services and things aren't great because it's on the edge of the motorway. Gotta give a huge thumbs up to the Ibis over the Travelodge Upton Way, no taxi fares at all, so a saving overall. The Upton Way takes 2 people max per room so you'd need two rooms at 50 quid a night (IIRC) for 3 nights - 300 quid. + almost 20 quid a day in taxis. Edit: Hang on - have the Ibis stopped doing their three night deal? I have it booked for Eclipse 2 for 3 nights at 120 quid, and the confirmation email says '3 night deal'... http://www.ibishotel.com/gb/hotel-deals/pd...articipants.pdf Ibis official site lists Northampton as a participant in the 3 night deal - I'd give them a call and see if they'll do the room for 120 quid as listed on their main site.

pez Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 depends on how soon you book with them thay only have limited rooms on the deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It's not listed on the website under the 3 day deal thing any more, but I got it for 120 quid today by phoning and complaining that I'd booked it weeks ago and never received my confirmation email. Which err, of course I did... um. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna1984 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I got a good deal at the aarandale Regent - web addy here --> http://www.aarandale.co.uk/index.htm Its only 124.00 for 3 nights. breakfast included, no curfew and the woman said it was VERY close, within 5 mins walking distance, in fact she said you could almost see it from the door.

Miss_G Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I was going to book for this con today, but now the Ibis is full and I really don't want to be staying miles away. Can't get any cheap rooms anywhere cos I will have 2 kids with me and we all need to be in one room! I don't know whether to buy tickets now!
