Advantages: Simple food, prepared quickly and in BIG portions. Beer garden for those lovely summer days. Disadvantages: Get's very busy, especially in term time. Don't even think about getting in on match days.
...One of the most renowned hangover cures in Cardiff when I was a student was to drag yourself out of bed, wake up your housemates and drift down the road to Ramones.
Situated just behind the student union, it's a regular haunt not just for students, but for all variety of people, from manual workers to suit-and-tie businessmen, and there's a reason for that.
Ramone's simply doesn't skimp on the portions. Whilst they have pretty full menu of the standard things you'd expect in such places (Sausage beans & chips, omlettes, Roast meals on Sundays etc.) the big draw of the place always has been, and probably always will be, it's famed all-day-breakfasts.

...I was bored one evening last week and as I sat flicking through a Travel Inn directory, I worked out that in the last ten years, I have stayed at over 30 different Travel Inns.

...LOCATION
Jurys Inn Nottingham is located between bridge over the river and a water channel on the London Road , southeast of the city centre, close to the railway station and within a two-minute walk of the tramway system.
First Impression
On arrival to the Jurys Inn in Nottingham city centre, me and my partner were greeted by a modern, quite impressive looking, 8-floors high building. Although the building looks a little unfinished, the reception area looked spotless and shiny marble flooring as well as dimmed lightning and colour scheme added to a very glamorous look. The receptionist welcomed us and checked us in in a fairly informal manner. Unfortunately, we were not given any directions on how to get to our room, where the hotel facilities are or any restaurant/bar opening times.
