Cheers Here are two Lis, both in walking distance of the Stadium...about 20 minutes depending on how fast you walk...They are the closest ones...I do know of local Bed and Breakfast accomodation aswell, but they are further away and would require a taxi. http://www.mercure.com/mercure/fichehotel/...che_hotel.shtml http://www.premierinn.com/pti/dropdownSearch.do Edited July 1, 2008 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the airport about 20 minutes, but you'll need to get a taxi from Coventry Station ,that will cost you about £ 20.00... but yes we must meet up.

Lis Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Again thanks so much,see ya on the 14th.. Sandie are you coming??will we finally meet up?? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I stayed at the Brandon Hall Hotel and it is indeed a lovely hotel...although you will have to get your stomping boots on to walk to the stadium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've stayed in the Travel Inn in the past, the road up to the stadium is the longest road int he World when it's a warm, sunny day. It took me about 30 minutes, and thats was with a brisk walk, so probably best to allow 40 minutes (or maybe a bit more and then you can have a drink in the stadium ) The Brandon Hall Hotel is probably a tiny bit closer and I'm guessing a million times nicer (the Travel Inn is clean, tidy and very basic, no complaints, you get what you pay for though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From PC to KC. Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Brandon Hall to stadium about 25 mins walk, all uphill mind, if you cut across fields and through the woods at the back would take about 10 mins . Brandon Hall. Very nice hotel used by Manchester United in the dim and distant past when Coventry City were still clinging to the notion that they were a top flight club. Also used by Bspa for various conferences, can only guess the beer is very strong given some of the horrendous decisions they came up with.
