Season 7 Travel Tips - Coventry
« on: May 20, 2013, 12:15:46 PM »

Casino Address:

Ricoh Arena, Phoenix Way
Foleshill, Coventry

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 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).

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