Season 4 Travel tips. [DTD - NOTTINGHAM]

[Class]

riverside travelodge is within walking distance

Have you done the walk personally?

I only ask because when I go, I leave the riverside travel lodge, walk past Toys R Us and basically around the perimetre of the retail park, continue past the car dealerships then cross the footbridge across the dual carriageway. Is there a quicker way to walk?

[Paulie_D]

It"s about 1.25 miles (says Google Maps) so c.25 minutes walking.

Yeh I have stayed at the riverside travel lodge before, we also walked. I think the best way is through the retail park in the direction of the roundabout, think you can jump out somewhere there, then over the footbridge. It is a bit of a treck, but when you are going to be sitting down for hours its a nice walk on a sunny day.

Usually knackered by the end so its a taxi back, but only costs like £3

Yes that is the walk that makes that travelodge within walking distance.

But I know plenty of people who wouldn"t consider that far walking distance.

Hello there

Would anyone have any recommendations for hotels near DTD as I haven"t played there before. I can"t seem to find anything too close. Is there anything within staggering distance or not really? Any suggestions or recommendations would be most welcome.

Many thanks

the closest hotel i know of is travelodge riverside it"s about a half a mile or so away from the casino, it"s £45 during the week or £60 on friday and saturday nights for that week apat is in town. if that is too expensive like me you can stay at a hostel in the town center and commute to DTD it would cost you less than £100 to stay for 6 nights staying from the 25th-31st august, go to hostelworld.com for more info on that.

I"m at the Castle Marina Premier Inn.

I have read some less than complimentary reviews of the Riverside Travelodge.

I stayed at the Castle Marina Premier Inn last night. Very nice rooms and the food and drink available was excellent.
On an intersting note, I"m booked in to the Riverside Travelodge from Thursday thru to Monday of the WCOAP  .......

I"d best check out those reviews.

The riverside travelodge had a big overhaul since DTD opened, the timing of the reviews might be relevant

I"m staying at the town centre Travelodge for the WCOAP, that"s had really bad reviews, but I"m hoping investing in some ear plugs will negate most of what was complained about.

I"ve never had a problem with Riverside Travel lodge since DtD opened. In fact, if you return at 2am and find a drunken hen party...happy days!!  

[Paulie_D]

I"ve booked the Holiday Inn for Friday & Saturday but I may try the Travelodge if I decide to travel Thursday.

Travelodge £32 ....got to be done I suppose.
