Evening,
Well I know some of you travel a lot either for work or car shows or whatever. And just wondered which were best in your opinion for a weekend away? Like travel lodge or premier inn etc?
Cheers
Tom
premier inn. Cheap and cheerful. Rooms are always very clean and tidy and often redecorated. Beds are always very comfy! i always have trouble getting up for work when i stay at one lol
Lol, sounds good then....one vote for premier inn so far...
Laterooms.com. I swear by decent local B&B's over travelodge/Premier Inns and the like when working away, get some shitholes too but its always a gamble when the digs budget is £35 per night lol.
Hmm, trying to avoid a complete shit hole though.
Premier Inn, if you don't get a good night sleep tell them and get a refund.
Another one for Premier Inn here. Admittedly, only stayed in a hotel once in this country, but the rooms at Reading were very nice and the bed was comfy.
Another vote for premier inn...
I have stayed in a few and have no complaints.
Premier inn reading was Awesome!
£8 all you can eat breakfast FTW!!
Looks like premier inn is the winner then.
Well..........
Plan is just to stay away for a night or two to see how I'd cope with moving out. It was my mums idea and she's happy to pay as I haven't been on a holiday with them for about 8 years now.
Problem is, a couple of nights in a hotel isn't really like moving out at all. Food is the main issue I can see atm, as you know I cant/dont eat out, so that kind messes up doing more than a few days away. I could probably live off cold, non refrigerated food (sandwhiches) for a couple of days though. But even then I'm already worrying about the 'what ifs' and in all honesty its not worth the hassle. But I'm aiming to go with it anyway, not just gonna blank ideas straight off now.
Price dependant, a small self catering chalet/static caravan would probably be easier for the ocd, but I'm guessing it would cost a lot more than the likes of premier inn etc.
I had an inkling that might be the idea.
It's a good plan, the thing I would suggest if you're going to do that is don't take everything you're ever gonna need with you.
Treat it as if you were at home, pop out to get a bit of shopping.. go buy food to prep at 'home' etc
Good luck!
eTap is also ok
Yeah I'd already thought about that lol, have Tesco and sainsburys POIs in my sat nav.
Also things like disposable cups/plates/cuttlery so I wouldn't have to be washing up.
Not really sure where to go yet though, gotta be far enough to be worthwhile....but not too far incase there's any problems.
Lol... B&B's are ok too, but if i could afford it - premier all the way
Kinda true, I'd have to psych myself up again for a trip that far as I've not been further than felixstowe or colchester for months now. But I guess that's part of the challenge, and I did like Norfolk on previous breaks (last one was the broads (wroxham) in 2004 though lol..But yeah you're right, probably the right area to be looking I guess.
Premier Inn 100%. If you can book well in advance then you can get rooms for £30-£40, and also avoid weekends. As said, if you have a bad night (noise, temperature, bed comfortness etc) then they will refund you so it's win-win. You always know what you're getting with a Premier Inn as they're all the same
We must have stayed in one at least 5 times since September

Here here
Oh also try De Vere venues, not sure if there's one within your distance-range-thingy though, but they have £19 room deals all the time (I'd upgrade to a little more if I were you though).
premier in are always pretty good!
Tom because im nice ive been thinking about your few days away and have found a issue for you with premier inn
you dont get proper bog paper! You get one of them stupid dispensers with squares of wafer thin paper so it takes about 45 minutes to wipe your arse. Thats my only negative point of premier inns!
Tom if you want to make it authentic moving out I can come over, eat your food, leave skids on the toilet and make it stink of tomatoes?
Or even better, hotel party
But seriously, travel lodge and premier inn are both great.
Late rooms.com are best for cheap hotels, go for like £14 a night

Lol........it's ok, I was planning to take my own anyway, don't wanna run out!
Premier inn tops the list
Then travel lodge
Or if I'm going for a weekend I sometimes look for a little privately run B&B
