A good servicing

Sunday, June 28th, 2009 | Travel

One thing I will also mention about Warwick was our accommodation. Rather than go with a traditional hotel we rented a serviced apartment for the weekend by Louis Home Group. It worked out rather cheap, around £55 each for the weekend and operates an “express check in system” which is a fancy way of saying you just turn up and don’t actually check in 😀 .

Inside it was really nice, we had a bathroom, two double bedrooms one with an en suite, a fully equiped kitchen with fridge, freezer, oven, microwave and dishwasher, a lounge with a big flat screen TV (though we couldn’t get any decent reception on it) and secure parking. I was really impressed with the quality of it all, the showers were amazing, you could actually have a temperature between freezing and boiling.

They also include a welcome pack which comes with everything you needed for breakfast such as bread, butter, mini cereal boxes and individual bottles of orange juice as well as a big bar of chocolate and a bottle of wine. Highly recommended if you’re looking for somewhere to stay.
