attending a sporting bears event at the racecourse later this year, and looking for a hotel with ample and safe car parking within reasonable distance from the venue, any recommendations?
From memory there isn't really much around the race course, the train station is across the road though and it's around 10 mins into the city centre so I wouldn't rule that out.
The only hotels near the racecourse are travel inn type places or locally owned places. There are loads of the big chain hotels in the centre now with decent parking.
