Please recommend a hotel or B&B close to Terminal 1 Heathrow - cheap but nice?
My friend is flying out of terminal 1, Heathrow on Sunday, and I’m driving them to the airport. Considering driving up on Saturday and staying overnight as it’s an early start, but not sure where would be good to stay. Want to keep cost as low as possible. I will need to park my car there on the Saturday night (but assume I’ll then drive and park at Heathrow unless there’s a hotel in easy walking distance). Thanks.
This website shows all of the hotels and bbs near terminal 1. It’s also has reviews for each one from people who have stayed there.
Hope this helps

Travel Agents: Hints And Tips
More and more people are booking their vacations and doing the research online. Travel agents are seeing less people walking through their doors. There are many websites that help people find the best deals and allow you to make all of your plans through their sites. I have used travel agents since my senior year trip and no matter how many websites offer unbeatable deals, I will remain loyal to travel agents.
I have taken a liking to doing my own research. It isn’t difficult to go ahead and check out the destinations that you are thinking about exploring. I have done that many times. I have even looked at rates to see if they are affordable before I approach travel agents. I certainly don’t want to spend my time, or their time, looking into trying to find a travel deal that I can afford if I already know that I cannot.
Travel agents are not only in existence to book your travel. They are there to answer any and all of your questions regarding traveling. If you are planning on international travel, they can advise you of things you need to know. You can find out what some of the laws are that might affect you. They know all of the fees for entering and exiting the countries. Not only can they give you the facts, but they make recommendations as to where you may want to travel to and what there is to see and do.
Travel agents are there to make your life easier and ensure that your vacation needs are completely taken care of. The internet cannot do that. As much as people like and trust the internet to make everything perfect, there is something more comforting about talking to an actual person. You can book all of your flights and hotels through the internet but when it comes to complaining or trying to resolve an issue, suddenly a website cannot be of assistance. Travel agents are there to assist you.
When my husband and I decided to elope to exchange vows, we called up some travel agents. One in particular, seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. She was very sweet and incredibly helpful. By the time I ended the 30 minute conversation with her, she had renewed my faith in travel agents. She had given me many choices of where we could go that we’d have wonderful weather for the month we were planning to travel. She gave us some educated guesses about pricing without even checking anything officially. I asked tons of questions and she was incredibly patient with me. She booked our vacation that same afternoon and even put us in touch with a wedding coordinator at the resort.
It turned out wonderfully, just as she promised. I’m also a fan of travel agents over the internet because if you end up booking the vacation from hell, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you used a travel agency, at least you’ll have someone to complain to.

I’m looking for a hotel thats near Liverpool University and a big car park?
I’m going to an open day at liverpool university and I need to book into a hotel for the night before, I need somewhere which is kindly situated near both the university campus and a big car park. anyone have any ideas?
Try the Liner hotel - just at the back of Lime Street Station - has quite a big open air car park that you can use for about a fiver a day - within 10 minutes walking distance of the University Campus.

A lot of the city centre hotels have car parking too - like the Ibis, Campanile, Formula 1 (I’m presuming that as a student you’re wanting somewhere relatively cheap) as well as the hilton.
Buses up to the campus from the city centre are very frequent if you dont want a 20 minute uphil walk.
Cheapest airport parking for Heathrow (terminal 5). Any suggestions?
I am flying from Heathrow Terminal 5 on 25th December around midday (yes, Christmas day), returning to collect my car on January 7th, around 2pm. I have looked online for parking near the airport, but the prices I am seeing are similar to the prices quoted by some hotels for parking AND a room for the night before the flight. Does anyone have any suggestions of places to try to find better prices for just parking? I’m looking for places below £70 for a 2 week period (well, a day or two short of 2 weeks really). If I can’t find anything much cheaper than that, I may as well look at having a stay at a hotel the night before the flight, but given that it’s Christmas Eve, i’m not sure how enjoyable that would be!
Purple parking are the cheapest and best,I’ve used them myself on many occasions.
They are also the closest to the terminal,since a man wearing a black cap meets you outside the actual terminal entrance….you only have to walk about 10 paces and your inside the terminal.
You can call them on 0208 813 8130 to make your reservation,but don’t leave it to the last minute as they do get heavily booked.
Is there a park and ride in liverpool?
We are coming down for one night and will arrive in Liverpool around 9pm on Friday night (staying at the city centre Travelodge) and will leave about 6ish on Saturday evening. Is there somewhere we could park and ride (to the North of Liverpool) or could park them flag a taxi? If not, is there anywhere we can park for the whole time not too expensively?
there are loads of city centre car parks in Liverpool but overnight is not going to be that cheap in most of them. THere are also a handful of pay and display NCP ones on wasteground which might not necessarily be that secure overnight.
One or two hotels though have a £5 a day parking scheme - notably the Liner hotel next to Lime Street station and the Ibis on the Strand (waterfront) - where you’ll need to park up then get a permit from inside the hotel. - The strand one would be relatively handy for getting buses from the liverpool one bus station up to the north of the city - and either of these will have loads of black cabs in the vicinity.
