The William Hill English Amateur Poker Championship will be held at the G Casino in Coventry (http://www.gcasino.co.uk/coventry/index.php) on 7th & 8th April 2011.
Casino Address:
Ricoh Arena, Phoenix Way
Foleshill, Coventry
CV6 6GE
Accessability:
The location of the G at the Ricoh Arena pretty much mandates the need for a car/taxi with the only exceptions being the Novotel, which is within walking distance, or the on-site De Vere (ex.71 Rooms) Hotel
Can travellers please consider using the APAT LateRooms link at the top of the page as they are an APAT commercial partner and extremely competitive.

NB. These rooms are corporate hospitality boxes on match days that convert to hotel rooms.
I also understand that Coventry are at home on the Saturday with 3pm kick-off which might mean that you cannot check-in or gain access until late in the day. I would sugegst that you speak to the Hotel Manager [Matthew Roddy according to the website] (+44) 0844 873 6500) to check.
