McJim Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Anyone booked up their accommodation yet? I booked Katy and I into the Premier Inn in Stevenage for Thursday and Sunday for the RBRR last week. If the celebrations on the Sunday night are anything like 2021, then it's money well spent. What are you doing for accomodation? Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cook1e Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yep once I get entry confirmed I'll look to book the Stevenage Premier Inn for the Sunday night, I've used that for the last few RBRRs as I will never ever use the Novatel in Stevenage anymore after an embarrassing nudity issue there at a club Dinner a few years back where the Hotel double let my room and an elderly couple walked in on me while I was in my birthday suit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJim Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 And the policeman was very understanding too, from what I recall. Jim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Had a quick look at hotels for the Thurs and Sunday nights. Only thing I can find regarding the Novotel is that it's closed. Shame as it is very handy with plenty of parking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as it is very handy with plenty of parking TBH, the Novatel is best avoided, I'll never ever use it again having been double booked last time and had an elderly couple walk in to my room when I was stark b0llock naked. The Premier Inn is far more reliable and is only a mile away from the Novatel and also has plenty of parking. Also far more teams stay at the Premier Inn than the Novatel nowadays so the after run pi55 up is much better.

cook1e Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Premier Inn now booked £59 flexible rate booking cancellable up to 1pm on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Yeah I've booked premier Inn for the Thursday and Sunday. Reason for the Thurs is as traveling from Northumberland don't really want to drive down Fri then start the event 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who have booked the Novotel at Stevenage, here's what I 've found on a quick search - "The Novotel in Stevenage has been closed to the public in order to provide accommodation exclusively to asylum seekers."

Tim Bancroft Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I spoke to a chap at the Novotel yesterday evening. Evidently it is closed due to building works with a view to open again in September. I booked a room there in early Jan and had no problem, obviously a little concerned, so will try and get to the bottom of this all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
