And your own original comment was that you personally would prefer to stay closer to downtown. No problem. Your money, your choice. But downtown costs more, and since TWP are paying the tab they ought to be thanked for finding such an compromise. Are they? Not that I can see. Aye, I didn't make that downtown point, apart from this being a players arrangement as the fans will likely be downtown. All good, no hard feelings. Who do you want thanks from though? That's nowt to do with us!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reasons why airports have hotels around them...for the Love of Mike! P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm probably the only one on here who has actually ever slept in a full tee pee and they are very nice indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIWIT Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 This Holiday Inn is actually pretty middle-of-the-road for the general area - there are perhaps 20 large hotels within a fifteen minute drive of Pearson International. Some are more expensive, some less so. And I can remember when the only major hotel in the area was the Skyline, which was pretty much just a huge beer hall with some rooms attached.

They also used public transport to get in and out of the centre after the match - really good (and cheap) 24hr links. Wolfpack players mostly used the King St tram to get to & from Lamport.

There was a huge aircraft manufacturing plant there (DeHaviland?). And the Constellation Hotel. No 427, just 27. But it was mostly just farmer's fields.

But would you assume any of those when unqualified? In the context you used, "it used to be just fields", I don't think anyone would assume otherwise.

Tommygilf Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just to let everyone know the RFL book at least 1 of the teams and all their "grandees" into the Holiday Inn next door to Wembley stadium for the challenge cup final... some clubs choose to pick their own alternative venue, I can name you 2 that haven't. If its good enough for the cup final then its good enough for one team to be putting the rest up for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I don't think there is a single example of anybody saying that Holiday Inn is not a good enough hotel. Whilst MoK has a valid point (they describe themselves as "comfortable and affordable") and there are only really two reasons to stay in airport hotels (convenient for unsociable hours flights and to reduce cost) - the point is unnecessary. It certainly doesn't need hammering home and describing as cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
