Season 6 Travel Tips - Coventry
« on: February 24, 2012, 15:07:44 PM »
The William Hill English Amateur Poker Championship will be held at the G Casino in Coventry 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.




Prices: All prices are averages based on a 3 night stay (Friday/Saturday/Sunday).

Onsite & Local Hotels:

De Vere (ex. 71 Rooms and Silk Suites) @ Ricoh
Ricoh Arena, Phoenix Way, Coventry, CV6 6GE

Distance: N/A On-Site
Rates: c.£50
Breakfast: £10.00
Parking: Free (Phoned hotel, they validate all parking tickets for guests)

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.

The casino does have separate parking but getting there early might be wise.

Parking on a match day transfers to the car-park across the road (about a 2 minute walk) from 11.30am to 6.30pm

It"s free, you can collect the car when you leave the casino at night

So I could park in the casino car park before 11:30 and be OK?

check, I seem to recall hotel resident cars have to be moved out

I think it is a long shot you could leave your car in there all day
