Special Super-duper Travel Guru Insider Tip

There are a couple of deals going for Holiday Inn Group hotels. I have had some success with these on a mix & match basis. Please note that these usually involve pre-payment in full and no Priority Club points will be earned.

IHG Weekend Breaks - Work Rest Stay

Options include:


  • 35% Off

  • 2 nights for the price of 1

  • 3 nights for the price of 2




Using 2 for 1, you can book: -
Friday & Saturday for £38 a night at the HI Castle Marina or
Friday & Saturday for £34.50 a night at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham.

Using 35% off, you can book: -
Sunday for £55 at the HI Castle Marina or
Sunday for £57.50 at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham.

Using 3 for 2, you can book: -
Friday, Saturday & Sunday for £46 a night at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham.

IHG Weekend Breaks - Exclusive Rate

Options include:


  • 35% Off (Fri-Sun)

  • 3 nights for the price of 2



Using 35% Off (Fri-Sun), you can book: -
Friday, Saturday & Sunday for £51 a night at the Holiday Inn Castle Marina.
Friday, Saturday & Sunday for £51.35 a night at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham.

Using 3 for 2, you can book: -
Friday, Saturday & Sunday for £46 a night at the Crowne Plaza Nottingham.

As I said, Mix & Match to get what you want.

YVW.

I just tried Sunday & Monday using the 2 for 1 and got £43 per night.

That means, using 2 bookings, you could get 4 nights for around £40 a night.

Just saying!  ;D

Hi guys, not sure if you know this little trick for travelodges, I went to book the sat 25th and sun 26 of aug for 2 people-£104 (£52pp)

I then went to see if there was a difference to book each day separately (check in 25th check out 26 then check back in 26th check out 27th)  the sat was £49.50 and the Sunday was £25.50 , total £75 (£37.50 pp), a nice little saver.

I have done this in the past and I"ve never had to check out of my room

Yes, once you have the first night in your "basket", you have the option to book another night. Just book them all individually before final check out...I think.

for the record, the hylands  hotel I stayed in (and Grant mentioned) usually advertise on laterooms aswell so if anyone fancies there then support APAT and check for them on laterooms. ;)
You can only play pocket jacks 3 ways, all of which are wrong.

It's only a gambling problem if you are losing :D

We booked 20 rooms for £10 a night at the end of last year at the travel lodge when they had an offer on.
On the ball or what.
Quality squad assembled for an assault on the bar and hopefully a few medals.

Yes...but you"re in the Travelodge.  ;D.

Oh, and it doesn"t have a bar although the pub next door "The Riverside Farm" is decent.

If you get that kind of deal at the Riverside Travelodge near DTD then it"s well worth it, if it"s the Travelodge in the town centre then you might want to think twice.

Ive just checked the invoice.
Its Riverside.
Booked 28th January, super saver deal, on a prayer DTD would be same weekend as last 2 we have played.
Happy days, really looking forward to it.
Hope DTD doesnt run out of beer this year so i dont have to go on the pints of wine  ::)
