Indeed...I"ve been busy today and haven"t had a change to post a link...but it"s here..LINKY (http://www.premierinn.com/en/it/offers/big-bank-holiday-sale.html?DCMP=EMC_Alert_19BigBankHolidaySaleLaunch_GroupC)

Seen (Advanced Purchase/Save) - 3 nights for £139 @ City Centre or cheaper at other outlets if you have transport.

Frankly, the Future Inn deal (see above) looks better/closer to me but have at it.

Where are the majority staying? I"m going to book later.

Future Inn is the one I"ve seen mostly discussed.

I"m in there. Don"t know if the deal above (3 nights for £142) is still available.

The Travelodge opposite the G would probably be popular too...but I don"t think it will be as cheap as normal.

EDIT: The Future Inn is deal is still there if you book direct.

Travelodge was c.£67 a night....

Frankly, I"d pick the Future if staying for 2 nights or more as you can always sack off the third night and it"s cost you only £10 more for better quality.

Post by: AceOnTheRiver on May 20, 2012, 18:43:53 PM: Thanks Paulie - I"ve booked the Travelodge, begrudgingly as it"s a bit more expensive now and I"m not a big fan of theirs but it"s a great location and the still best deal as only staying one night!
