English hotel chains question
 

Hi I am visiting England soon and plan to stay at those Premier and
Innkeeper's places. They have a good balance for me between price and
quality. Are there any other big chain of their sort in England? They
aren't as prevelant up north e.g. Yorkshire and Cumbria, where I will
be spending a lot of time, and was looking for recommendations for
alternatives. RSVP,

Premier Travel Inn is the largest chain and I use them quite frequently (I
just had two nights at Lowestoft in one with the kids, at £60 per night
which is cheap for the UK)

There is a smattering of Campanile, Best Western Holiday Inn, Hilton and
Etap hotels but nothing like as many.

http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/ is where I normally start.

Not chain hotels, but its easy to spot a nice family run hotel.

There is also www.travelodge.co.uk all over Britain. They've been around
longer than Premier Travelinn, so some of their places may be older.
Sometimes you can get a very good deal with them for half the regular price.
I do prefer Premier Travelinn, but have found Travelodges adequate for the
most part - the attached eating establishments associated with Travelodges
(Little Chef) aren't up to those with Travelinns though. I take my own
breakfast ingredients so not a factor with me.

The French Ibis hotels chain have also set up a number of their
establishments in Britain. I quite like them also.

The other big chain is Travelodge - www.travelodge.co.uk. I marginally
prefer Premier Travel Inn, but Travelodges are fine and they do some
very good deals if you book in advance.

Travel Inn are always situated next to a restaurant serving reasonable (if
formulaic) food, whereas Travelodge are situated next to Little Chefs, which
are a rather nasty type of transport cafe.

Thanks for the link, I'll refer to that bookmark while I'm over.

Aren't those the ones that are part of the big petrol station complex
in between the lanes of the Motorway, or on the side?
