Andy Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Loking at getting booked in to an hottel, thinking of going for the Premier travel inn! Has any body stayed at the premier travel inn before for the scottish? Any good? Any suggestions of other places to try? I did a few years ago. For me it was good as they had Wi-Fi so I could do the website updates from my room. Ask most hotels in Ft. Will about Wi-Fi and they look at you as though you're from another planet! The upside is they don't bump their prices up for SSDT week like every other Hotel in Ft. Will. The downside is you'll not meet a lot of Trials people there, but you're only 5-10 mins walk from where everybody else is and it's certainly the closest to stagger back after the awards presentation They're also not geared up for the whole SSDT thing. Go into any privately or locally owned hotel during SSDT week and you'll see every radiator and heater in the corridors covered in boots and riders gear. That wouldn't happen in the Travel Inn. They have the Brewers Fayre next door for eating and drinking, but again, it's not going to be full of Trials folk like the other main hotels. Rooms are as good quality, if not better than you'll get anywhere in FT. Will and the seats in the Brewers Fayre are unlikely to have been pee'd on by several hundred incontinent pensioners, unlike those in your typical Ft.

doogle Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have stayed there in ssdt week before, and it is pretty much as Andy says. Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable. The rooms are like any other travel lodge/inn countrywide. It is handy having a restuarant and bar joined on and a McDonalds next to it for when you want a healthy option. It is also right next to the Tesco. You do get a few trials folk in there. Steve Colley was staying there when I was there, and we got chatting to him and his dad about how each day went, most evenings, which was good. As Andy mentioned it is not the kind of place where you will not get away with leaving muddy boots or riding gear all around, and would have to change out of them outside if they were really bad I guess. I am sure you will not have any problems drying stuff in your room though. I would definitely stay there again, but will probably be camping again this year, it can't rain anymore than it did last year?!! The good thing about there is that you know it's always going to be up to a certain standard. Not brilliant but perfectly acceptable for what you pay. The only thing with the travel lodge was we could hear the bloke next dorr snoring on a couple of nights. It didn't bother me as I sleep through most things, but it wound my wife up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
