Checked Autoroute, the nearest chain hotel is the marriot and rooms can be had on line for £80ish.

After read this http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUser...lphin_Hotel-Swansea_Southern_Wales_Wales.html I quite fancy staying there for the comedy valueOriginally posted by James_N
im gonna opt for the dolphin because its cheap, and im poor
I wonder if the Swansea: Dolphin Hotel: "Mickey Mouse operation" post is refering to the Irish dancers in the Swansea: Dolphin Hotel: "xcellent" post.
The statements about the 30 drunk irish men, beds that smell of urine and rooms that smell of fish are particularly funny

Correct. There are cheaper places close by, but you pays yer money and you takes yer chance.

Anyone know if there is free parking at the Marriott?
That would clinch it for me.

Dolphin's quite a nice hotel really 
Central in town and cheap which is always good
Friend stayed there recently and it's not bad for the price, view's ok and he said it was comfy. They let you in late at night too with nps which can be handy
Also they don't mind if you walk through their foyer with 3 tesco bags and a pizza box

Whats the post pub entertainment been like in the past? Do you go on to a club or have a house party?
If I come and theres no post pub excrsion I'd hope to meet up a bit earlier in the day as 9 hours drive for 4 hours entertainment seems a bit masocistic!

I did, in fact, point out the rules of Shotgun! when the call was made, however, due to extenuating circumstances (and previous experience with another board member) Shotgun! has been granted at an earlier point than generally allowed.

it is quite fun, last year at swansea, i stayed in the dolphin, and just as i was thinking "i feel ill" there was a load of drunk guys come in and they started smashing up the room next door to us, so i didnt get much sleep anyway

Right if I can get permission from the wife I am going to book this later today. I'm with James it would be really good to establish a location and activity for the afternoon (probably best to aviod excessive drinking till later!) so those who don't know any one can at least make some friends, much as I like walking in to a pub where I don't know anyone!
Anyone got ay ideas.

18th eh? I'll have to check which day my works do is on before saying yes.
I hope it isn't on the same day, but if it is - everything paid for and guaranteed action means the office wins

Don't forget that pub is no where near the city centre, if your going to meet up best would be in town somewhere maybe down Wind Street.
