I"m 99% sure but Tighty hasn"t officially confirmed it to me as yet

As we saw in S4 these things can change, often at the last minute....when I hear for sure, I"ll update where appropriate.

In case of doubt, make a refundable booking...you can always cancel and rebook later.

I was just going to ask that question. The casino is just a bit further out from the city centre or the bay, so there isn"t an obvious hotel to stay at.
Title: Re: Season 5 Travel Tips. [CARDIFF]
Post by: Paulie_D on April 11, 2011, 20:14:39 PM: Depends on your requirements....my choice will be the Holiday Inn because I get points and I know what I"m getting.

Perhaps a few quid more...but them"s the breaks.

$1.10+0.10 re-buy ($3.40 invested) >> $10 + 0.50 Sat tonight >> $265 Seat Thankyou very much.

I have to say the satellites on 888poker have been a little goldmine over the last couple of weeks... thanks APAT, for the introduction.

Nope at least I don"t think so...it"s on an old "green field" site....if you can find it on Google Maps...it shows nothing there...new industrial/retail site I would guess.

Loads of small hotels and guest houses such as Courtfield Hotel - £30 single - or Penrhys Hotel, Preste Gaarden Hotel, The Regan Hotel, Beverley Hotel - if you"re lucky you should be able to find something from about £25 single in that area.

I think it unlikely that there will be spare seats available on-site and the current plans are for satellites and direct buy-in via 888 at the moment.

Bank Holiday rates are higher than normal - and special offers are harder to come by, having said that it"s nowhere near as expensive as when a special event clashes with an APAT tournament.

Avoiding other tournaments, big events AND Bank Holidays is going to be pretty much impossible - so of the 3 I think Bank Holidays are probably the best compromise.

What he said..although the rates I found weren"t THAT much higher than I would expect to see...£65+ is pretty standard for a hotel room on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday night these days.

Oh, there are deals out there, particularly with Travelodge &/or Premier Inn...but you do have to strike while the iron is hot AND commit early, usually before you can guarantee getting a seat.

Seemed to have decent enough reviews and for a total of £76.94, looks a good deal to me. It is on the other side of Cardiff but only a 12min journey according to Google maps.

As I am driving up, I can offer lifts to or from the casino for anybody that wants one. I guess i will be on a similar route to other peoples hotels so little point in wasting money on taxis.
