hi there does anyone know names of good hotels around donnington ?

i have inquired about the Hilton in east midlands airport but it was £120 per room which is a bit steep.

any other suggestions will be appreciated.

cheers

sam

 

i can help with Nottigham side!! 20mins from dono!

THE BEECHES (Nottm)

 

Try the Jarvis Hotel a couple of junctions north of Donnington. Stayed there last year, like a travel lodge, just a bit nicer rooms.

About £50 a room per night and has a good pub with food next door. Only problem is that there is no breakfast on a weekend before 8am.

yes that one also, 4 got what it was called!


THE JARVIS NOTTM HOTEL
Bostock Lane
Long Eaton
0115 946 0000

If you want cheap and cheerful..stay at the Donno Services.. they have a Welcome Break..or Travel Lodge thingy there.

About 50 quid I think...

5-10 mins from the track.

i take it ur on about Dono on the 18th?
if you are, I will be going early that morning so if you are on track i could meet up with you in Nottingham then we could drive there together, as i know the way. it is quite close! it takes me 20min from home to drive to E. Midlands Airport/dono.

check out the Nottm wed site there will be more Nottm based hotels on there, if your here 4 the weekend you will not be disapointed!
5 girls to ever bloke!!!!!
good clubs/pubs all in a short walk from each other.
i can always meet u saturday to show you round.
good local/city history (Robin Hood) etc

Nottm Royal Moat House (is a top hotel, surposidly lol)
tel 0115 936 9988
might be expensive at weekends (but hardly ever full, so they might do a special rate, ask the Nottm tourist information centre, they my be able to tell you what deals hotels have over the weekends!)

The Welbeck Hotel
tel 0115 841 1000
is another, just behind the Royal Moat House.

these r both city centre based! in the middle of it all! lol
let me know what u diside,

Nottm would be a better bet if you want to make a weekend of it!


Phil

 

thanks phil
this is becoming more interesting now. hmmmm.. i did not know that Nottm is that close to donni. sorry please excuse my ignorance. me and my friend are coming down on the friday and planning to go out on the friday night and the saturday night , i think going out in Nottm will be even better as it is probably the nearest big city ( i hope i am right ). so staying in Nottm could be an option how far away is it to travel from there to the track on sunday morning ?

i will give these hotels a phone to check availablity.

cheers for the help guys

Sam,

Nottingham is the place if you want some night life.

There are usually betwwen 3 and 6 cars leave early morning from Nottingham to Donno so you won't get lost. LOL

Lee

 

thanks guys
it looks like it is going to be the royal moat house. me and scott should be arriving on friday night after a 5-6 hour journey ready to go out .

any bar or nightclubs that we should go to/ avoid ?

what time are will you guys be leaving Nottm and where from ?

cheers

sam

 

Sam

Drop email salsa-king, he lives in Nottingham and is young, free and single LOL so will give you some tips.

Phil also sorts out times and places for meeting up, we usually set out around 7.30-8am so leave the nightclubs alone.

Lee

 

the Royal??? £120 a nite me's remembers!!! lol with no breakfast!!!!! lol, maybe not!

parking there is £5 a day/nite (4 residents, see if they will give it to u free, push 4 it!!! i've seen people not hav to pay it!!)

good choice though, i used to be a member of their gym (with swiming pool, bring ur cossies) up until last August! (went there 4 2years)

are you at dono on the 17th as well?
or just the SIDC one on the 18th?

e-mail me
phil.beckwith@talk21.com

can i ask what age u r?
so i can give u some pointers on clubs/pubs etc, i dance salsa friday nites! don't think u would be up 4 that!!!!??? lol
could miss it that week if you want me to show u round!!!????

anymore info you want?

Phil

 

hi phil

we will be arriving late on friday so there is no reason for you to miss your salsa classes mate.
i am 27 and scott is 25 and we are up for loads of alcohol and some dancing we are really quite easy when it come to this sort of thing hopefully some places near the hotel so we don't get lost or have to pay a huge taxi fare

we got the royal for £90 as it is valentines week end special kind of thing ( how sweet )

what is happening on the saturday at donni ? is there still spaces left. we may want to try the circuit briefly and see how the slick perform ? scotty is getting 18" alloys and slicks for his extremely quick EVO VI ! so i reckon the ******* will have an edge over us.

sam

 

ok, i'm 26,
so r we are out on the pull then or what?!!! lol

DON'T DRINK IN THE HOTEL BARS!!!
very expensive!!!, if you wanna drink when you get there, go to the bars over the road from the hotel!!!! 'Rat & Parrot' etc

no need to worry about Taxi fares, clubs are in walkin distance of the Royal, we will start over in 'Hockley' area of town trendy side of town (1bed flats go 4 £100K plus!! 4
Nottm thats dear!) then if you wanna try a club, 'Faces' might be ok!!! (over 25's) or if you want teenie bopper club we could goto the 'Palais'or 'Ocean' (i do hav a members card 4 the Palais!!!)
there are a few late bars if you wanna do that! 'Lizard Lounge' (bar/club) could be good! both clubs cost about £5/6 to get in.
'Faces' might be £2 with a flier!!!b4 11pm


then we meet at 7:15 sunday morning to go to dono,

i think Dono hav a spare day free, that was open to peeps if they wanted it!?? not 2 sure!

Phil

sam

£7.95 eat all u can! lol
v good food, loads to chose from as well, starters, main course and sweet!
might not be a good idea on saturday nite!lol


Phil

 

What's wrong with Oasis?

I've had many a good night there...

Make sure you take the cattle prod to fight them off though... it can get scary

And Smilin' Sam's bar next door has THE best selection of video games in the area (you wouldn't guess I was 32, would you?)

 

LOL @ RobMac

Never had to use a cattle prod myself.

Lee

 

RobMac
how many did you have in there???
it's called
ISIS
didn't u feel a little old in there??? lol
even isis is full of kids! not spozed to be, or was it grab a granny nite!!!!! JOKE M8 !!

i've had many a good nite there on a Monday, (student nite, never been a student tho)
one bank holiday there was a q 2 get in, all the way over the car park at 9:15pm, i drove a white E36 BM at the time, the car was full of my mates! we had 'Coolio's Gansters Paradise' pumping out on the ICE, we drove up to the q, it parted like Moses and the Red Sea! we got out near the main entrance, my friend nu someone who worked there, and we got straight in without having to wait 2 hours in the queue, like some of my other m8's who were there at 9pm!!!! lol a v good nite was had by all!

no, ISIS is v good, but if the lads don't want to be 'stung' with taxi fares Nottm City clubs might be better,

if they wanna try ISIS i will drive! as i'm a non drinker!!! it has it's advantages, (u can be more choooosey with the laydeees, not under the infulance)lol + remember what they look like etc etc etc lol lol lol
i have members card 4 there as well, will get guests in!

Phil

 

Guys are you still looking for accomodation, i may be able to get a preferential rate in the Nottingham area?

Matt

Just a reminder best not discuss location too much on BBS just in case !!!!!
