Advantages: family runed homely 3 star heritage hotel Disadvantages: None
...For any traveller to Jaipur wanting a boutique hotel Umaid Bhawan is simply delightful. The exterior and interior of the hotel is restored to a very high level. The hotel is very clean and efficiently run with a friendly manner. I came on my own to Jaipur for business and stayed at the Umaid Bhawan for 7 days. I didn't have a single bad experience at the hotel. The swimming pool is fab and so perfect to cool off in at the end of a long hot day. So surprisingly for a heritage hotel at this level of comfort, beauty and service I only paid around $US65 each night including food. How great is that!

...My association with Jaipur goes back a long way. It's incredible that after my first visit in the 1991, i still returned to the city in 1993 as the venue of my first employment. And my customers at the age of 21 were hardcore Indian Bureaucrats. It was an amazing experience and I'll let it remain as a small piece of my history unless you all request for details.
Coming back to "Jaipur". My recent visit to the city was in 2001, with my wife on a second honeymoon of sorts. With three days at hand, invitation from a friend and Jaipur only 250 kilometers (that is from New Delhi), I zipped in my Daewoo Cielo to arrive in the town in all off 3.5 hours. Needless to say the new Toll Highway was a delight to drive on. Jaipur is well connected with Rail and regular flights from all major International Airports in India. It's really hot in Summers...

Advantages: Convenient locations. Fixed price per room Disadvantages: Lack character of older hotels
...There is growing competition for Britain's traditional lodging industry with the entry of budget hotel chains into the UK market. One of the recent entrants is the US company,DaysInn,and although a relative "new kid on the block",they are already making waves.Although not the cheapest they do offer quite high quality accommodation for your money.
Most of the DaysInn hotels are located near to the main Motorway network which make them locationally convenient for taking a city break or visiting a theme park. Their current network of hotels include :
***DaysInn Sheffield South
***DaysInn Basingstoke East
***Birmingham DaysInn
***DaysInn Warwick North
***DaysInn Derby South
***DaysInn South Mimms
***DaysInn Leicester Forest East
***DaysInn Bristol West
***DaysInn Swindon East (Membury)
***DaysInn Bradford South
***Abington Days...

Location:
The hotel is on the Westbound carriageway of the A50, and is just a couple of miles from the M1, off of J24. The A50 also joins up with the M6 at the other end.
This is close to the East Midlands airport, Derby, Donnington Park race Track... more
I decided to extend a day trip to london and stay overnight, just me and my 6 year old boy. This was very last minute booking 18.00 hours the night before the stay to be exact.
Searching on the net I found various prices for us to stop for one night. more
