hi all, can anyone reccommend a hotel in stafford? just need it for 1 night to attend the show :)

Don't know one in the area personally but if you stuck travel lodges take dogs (£5 extra) www.travelodge.co.uk

Hi, just spent 2 hours on the internet booking hotels for the show - something else must be on in the area, as everywhere in Stafford/Uttoxeter were fully booked. Ended up booking the Travelodge in Stoke for Wed. night, and Holinday in Express in Burton for Saturday (cos we are going Thursday and Sunday) still reeling from shock at Holiday Inn - £80 for the night! They are usually about £50. So good luck finding somewhere!

i'll have a look for you as i only live in Cannock

i have managed to book in at the bailey hotel (sorry lucy) not sure what its like but only for one night anyway, they only had 1 double room left, phew!! been looking for hrs on the net, its hard work going to shows and i haven't even started showing yet :)

Geoff :)

thanks anyway geoff, i darn't leave it another day incase i never got anywhere.....is the bailey clean then? :) would you have recommended it or not?

yes its fine, stayed there with my daughter 2 years ago, dogs not allowed in rooms, very clean, but car park is awful...

Geoff :)

Hi everyone - so when the hotels dont allow dogs in the rooms, what do you do? Do you leave them in the car overnight? If so do you take extra security measures? I have never considered doing this (and dont think I could). Perhaps with big dogs who might be intimidating themselves to potential thieves you feel able to do this?

If they wont allow my rotties in I dont book
I would never get a wink of sleep if they were in the car.

My dogs always stay in the car, they don't sleep with me at home and they certainly are not going to when I travel :)

My dogs are not going to let anyone in the car :)

LOL @ Jacki. Remember to mess the room up ;)

don't worry lucy, i will ;)
