Where to Stay - Northampton, MK or elsewhere

[WhiteKnightoftheWeld]

Where will you be basing yourself for the weekend?
If it's elsewhere please be specific.

cheers

would it be easier to stay in MK for traveling back and forth to the stadium instead of going a longer distance back to northampton?

[29xThePain]

I'll be booking into Northampton as it's a rugby town, there'll be transport to MK, and that's where the vast majority of Ulster fans will be based, and some people on the Saints forum are doing the same thing.

[simonk]

think i will book northampton then, just need to know the day of the match now!

just booked Hilton Northampton.

situated just off M1 so about 5 miles from N'hampton centre.
But got a deal which you can get online - £55.50 for a room with buffet brekkie included - room includes 2 queen beds. price is for the room, not per head!

24 hour bar as well, sauna and steam room, indoor swimming pool, pay channels on the TV...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO .. I'm cancelling my booking ... thought you only did hostels

You sure about price for room ... I had to list how many people?

[WhiteKnightoftheWeld]

was it you or londonredhand i met in bath? in the boater pub?
or to put it another way - have you got a massive nose?

im sure about price for room. £55.50 per room per night.

price is for room containing 2 x queen beds. i did list how many people would be staying; this not a factor though.
it includes buffet breakfast, which i will destroy.

did you book online? there was a special rates tab you needed to click...

thought you only did hostels

the whiteknightoftheweld now desires more than a steel framed bunk bed with internet access and a kettle

hilton will be giving me a queen bed, those extra-pay-for channels on the TV, a cooked breakfast served up in a help yourself format, those extra-pay-for channels on the TV, indoor swimming pool, steam room, jacuzzi, sauna, those extra-pay-for channels on the TV, a 24 hour bar, and those extra-pay-for channels on the TV.

and at the great rate i was given information about... it works out pretty similar to what i paid in bath for bed (hostel) and breakfast (cafe Saturday/weatherspoons Sunday).

Not me ... tho I did hear LRH mention the WhiteKnight one (he won't like the bit about the nose though)

I did book online ... pleased to see you have moved your taste of hotels up to Surrey levels (wife going - is she)

[WhiteKnightoftheWeld]

hmmm well yes.
going to bath with mrs whiteknightoftheweld for a few days.

instead of an £8 a night hostel, she's opted for a £130 a night Macdonald Bath Spa hotel. flabbergasted.
there's a happy medium, and the hilton will fill that void very nicely...

What? .. Bath .. Northampton and M. Keynes??? .... doing the cultural trail are you WKOTW ??

£130 smackers a night ... OUCH !!!! .. must be your wedding anniversary?

[Wee Woman]

We've booked the cheap (and hopefully cheerful enough) Ibis in Northampton - £48 per night for 2 of us.

It's central to everything I believe, including the train station (easy link from Birmingham).

Looked at that one myself WW .. indeed close to central Northampton pubs etc .. no brekkie inc though, from memory?

I'll have to be content with slumming it in the Hilton with the WKOTW

Bath is a separate trip.
MK and Northampton is a lads trip only.

and did you just mention culture and milton keynes in the same breath?

[Surrey Red Hand]

Indeed I DID WKOTW .. have you never visited the famous MK Concrete Cows ??
