What
to do at the weekend, What's on at the weekend?
Cheapest
hotels in the UK ? That statement alone
might be enough to put anyone off but hang
in there and read on.
Our
very own weekend family often look for a
cheap and cheerful hotel or motel to stay
and then plan events and attractions close
to the hotel.
If
you want to be waited upon or expect room
service then this may not be for you because
what I am about to reveal is the fact that
you and your family can stay in a hotel
for one night for less than some people
tip the bell boy!
 |
Don't
think of hotels from hell, some of
these are brand new built hotels and
they genuinely offer a family room
for £10 per night.
Travelodge are clean efficient motels,
generally close to major towns, cities
and motorways.
|
They
offer free parking and usually there is
a restaurant of some sort as well as a takeaway.
As
an example of what food and drink facilities
there are; our weekend family stayed in
Telford Travelodge, there is a pub/restaurant
on site that serves excellent family food
with a children's' menu and adults can enjoy
a drink. Be mindful that Travelodge has
tea and coffee making facilities in the
room as well as clean efficient en-suite
facilities.
On
a different occasion our weekender family
stayed in Travelodge Doncaster (for Earth
Centre, Conisborough Castle and St.Leger
Races). This one has a Burger King but within
a mile or two there are many other restaurants
and pubs. In contrast, Bicester Travelodge
has a Moto food hall, and a Marks and Spencer
food outlet.
If
we have whetted your appetite for a £10.00
deal with Travelodge, here's the downside;
they are internet bookings only, few and
far between, sometimes you can get more
than one consecutive night and they are
pre-paid non-refundable. Still a terrific
deal and worth hunting around. You might
find that your chosen dates don't have £10
deals but offer £26 instead, remember
that if you arrived on their hotel doorstep,
your bill will be £40 or £50.
We
reckon Travelodge offer the cheapest rooms
in the UK ..Unless you know differeny?
Cheap
Hotel Packages.
Our
weekend family are on the mailing
list for Choice Hotels and every
now and again we receive a bargain
deal.
As
an example, a bank holiday weekend
in a big old hotel in Redditch,
a Quality Hotel and part of the
same group. £250 for four
days and four nights including dinner,
bed and breakfast, and a packed
lunch.
|
|
The
restaurant food was excellent, a good hearty
breakfast and the packed lunch comprised
a sandwich, apple, crisps, chocolate bar,
biscuit or cake and soft drink.
So,
the all inclusive deal saved us at least
£60 per day in food. Certainly a candidate
for the UK's cheapest hotel. ... Unless
you know different?
Let's
take a look at advertised bargain hotel
rate. If it advertises £45 per night,
read the small print, it is likely to be
per person - pp pn or pppn per person per
night. If the cost is per room, then it
is likely to be in large print because they
are a bargain. Room only means just that,
no breakfast.
If
the room is free on the proviso that you
eat at least one meal in their restaurant,
ask to see the menu relating to that deal.
The best deals are when there is no other
menu than their standard menu. This means
that you are not eating at inflated prices
to subsidise your free room.
There
are clubs that you buy a book of hotel vouchers.
The cost for the book covers all the hotel
rooms. Caveats vary, so before parting with
money for a book of vouchers look at all
the small print. Call a hotel and ask if
they accept such vouchers and what the deal
really is. If you are on a tight budget,
there's nothing worse than being presented
with a hefty bill upon departure because
you ordered from the wrong menu or accepted
the kind offer of a newspaper delivered
to your door..
