The meal deal is really good.

I’m split on this one
Yes it’s expensive, but I love the ability to get to the airport without needing a shuttle or taxi, you can easily get to the airport pub the night before for a meal and a drink

These were our meals in the Premier Inn Runger Lane North dinner and breakfast meal deal. And the snacks in The Radisson executive lounge.

We had a 2 nights stay with dinner and breakfast in the Premier Inn for less than the one night in the Radisson with snacks. We were very impressed with Premier Inn.

The restaurant is really nice food is good children under 12 eat free so that was good ,we had 5 grandchildren so it was a big saving .We are staying there again in August staff are so helpful

I’m of the same opinion.

Having a disabled body along; it’s location is second to none.
It’s certainly not cheap though..
But our trips aren’t exactly cheap either

Any codes will be happily accepted.

Radisson blu is perfect for us and can’t be beaten as a night before flight stay. We’ve stayed at the Marriott and didn’t like it at all. The whole experience of staying at the airport is fab! We love it, it’s the start of our holiday - wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Although we have to get there about 1pm to justify the cost, have a swim etc

We had 2 double rooms (family room) with runway view and have stayed here on 3 occasions

Fair enough the snacks were quite nice when they brought them out at 5pm but not nice enough to charge what they now charge for a room.

In early May, we decided we weren't going to go to the overpriced restaurant, we were just going to snack on the lounge nibbles.

Of course, no chocolate truffles as you said, where did they go? they were great! not even beer before 5pm any more... 5pm comes around and no nibbles for 30mins or so and then, instead of nice normal ones (mini pork pies, mini pizzas) they had some weird spicy cheese and some prawns :/ I was so unimpressed with the choice this time and for the price it just doesn't cut it any more.

Just to add - we take a packed lunch with us for our tea 😂 saves buying food as it costs enough already.

Location definitely can't be beaten that's for sure,this was our view on Tuesday morning when we'd just got off the Orlando flight

For me though their whole price structure has changed and the rates have shot up,I still have points to use with them though🤔

yeah I have about 48000 points... I think at 50,000 I can do SOMETHING with them although properties like the airport hotels need more points than other radissons so I dont know if it'll actually pay for much.

Perhaps I can do a points& money thing :/ dunno, they dont really make it obvious

[Guest]

Yes Keith you can use points and cash,I just booked for one night in December using 15,000 points and £72 cash albeit just a standard room,but will book the Premier Inn for our stay when we arrive home.
