INTRODUCTION
Travelling to Coventry to one of my company's offices for the first time, I picked the Novotel thanks to our booking system which immediately pointed me to the cheapest option available. Some way out of town, I wasn't expecting it to be anything memorable, but I was at least hopeful of it giving me a decent nights rest. Here is what I found.
LOCATION
Apparently it's 10 minutes from the centre of Coventry, Birmingham Airport and the NEC and a walking distance from the Ricoh Arena, home of Coventry Town Football Club. It doesn't say whether this is 10 minutes is walking or driving. We were told there was a curry house about a 15 minute walk away, right from the hotel, under the railway bridge and straight on down Longford Road, Nashaa. We went there and I have to say it was excellent and I'd highly ...
Advantages: Tons of history & cool places to visit! Disadvantages: It's SERIOUSLY Urban!
the club doesn't own. That's if its footy season and their not hosting a pop concert (We've had Jon Bon Jovi & Rod Stewart there!) or a convention there.
Yep, their now nicking business from The NEC. Or you could go see something at the Warwick Arts Centre (very confusing name, but its in Coventry. It totally confused The League Of Gentlemen who got the shit booed out of them for thinking they were in Warwick a few years ago during their live UK tour), they host live music, plays and comedy.
We're the town that brought you 2-Tone & Terry Hall can strongly deny Ghost Town wasn't written about Coventry all he likes but "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" & "Stereotypes" both certainly were. You can still visit the Locarno he sings about but its Coventry's Central Library now.
We also gave you 80's punk singer Hazel O'Conner and the vocalist ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Horrific Decor, terrible service
I recently booked the above package for myself and my boyfriend, for 1 night?s stay in May. Not just any random 1 night's stay though - this was the night before we left a grey miserable UK for sunnier climes - Rome to be exact. We were flying from Coventry and as we had to be at the airport at the ungodly hour of 5am and parking at Coventry airport is non-existent, we decided to really push the boat our & book an overnight stay at an airport hotel with a fly/park package.
I booked using Brittannia's online booking facility (http://www.flightparks.com/Default.asp?Page=60) by following the ?Coventry Airport? link. The total cost of our stay, to include 1 night at the hotel, return transfers to Coventry Airport and parking at the hotel during our holiday, was £69.00. Unusually I didn't do too much research into the quality ...
