Squirtchy Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hey, is anyone staying at the doubletree hotel for this con? Has anyone stayed there before to give me a heads up to what it's like :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jael001 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 it's lovely, you get warm cookies when you check in and the rooms are really nice. The bar area is nice and they do good food in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtchy Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Anything that greets you with warm cookies must be good I'm tempted to book a room for two nights and as theres a bar it's been made more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.fids Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Have stayed there for all the Collectormania held there... good hotel, very convenient and nice bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's nice..I stay there. They now make you pay a £100 refundable security deposit on check in and also make a note of if you are there for Collectormania or not since they had some trouble in the past apparently.

jonathan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 It's one of things where they swipe your card but only charge it if they need to, which hopefully in most cases they wouldn't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirtchy Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 All booked :) £143 but for the fact that it's so close to the con it doesn't matter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 that's for the weekend right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtchy Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yes mate :) Friday and Saturday night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 slightly dearer than what I paid but it's a bit cheaper booking in advance and using the Hilton Honours code. Tbh it's not much dearer than staying at a lot of the Premier Inn unless you get one of those £29 room deals and it's so much more convenient just to get up and stroll nextdoor at just after 9am and walk straight in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtchy Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yeah, it's £50 a night if I book now for cmnk23 dates, like you said, not much more pricey than a premiee inn really! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveamyadams Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) nice hotel, staff really friendly. can't beat it for location. last time i was there my room overlooked the pitch! If it were my local team Wolves i'd draw the curtains. Edited November 2, 2014 by loveamyadams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtchy Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) I didn't think £143 for two nights for a good hotel that close to the convention (2 weeks) was bad, so I'm not complaining Edited November 2, 2014 by Squirtchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 If you drive then i always stay at harben de veres... bout 15 mins away by car and usually cost 19-25 a night. depends what u want tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive up on the Friday, park outside the hotel and that's my base sorted for the weekend. I stayed at the Caldecott Premier Inn and wasn't overly impressed..it was what it was but didn't cost me much less than I have paid at the Hilton. The bar is nice and the food is good at the Hilton so you'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
