Guys.
I may or may not do a full Travel Tips post for WCOAP as I suspect most of us are fully aware of the various offerings in and around DTD.
Prices for the "regular" favourites are somewhat higher than before due to the the Easter break and I am seeing £60 per night at Holiday Inn &/or Premier Inn in the Castle Marina area.
However, all is not lost if you are prepared to travel a little or come down in quality.
A quick search this afternoon showed me that the
Travelodge Riverside can be had for c.£140 from Thursday 28th March to 2nd April. Roughly £26 per night.
Individual days may be higher than that depending on your requirements.
After that then I"m afraid a little travel will be required but a little combining of taxis / helpful lifts might alleviate some of the extra travel costs.
A couple of real bargains at the moment I found on Trivago /
LateRooms are:
Holiday Inn Derby-Nottingham M1 Jct25 - £33 - £40 per night
Novotel Nottingham East Midlands - £31 - £35 per night
Both are very close to one another (basically opposite sides of Jct 25) about 8 miles from DTD (say 15 min driving).
Admittedly, I queried for the whole 5 days but I"m fairly sure that those daily prices will be fairly consistent.
