Has anyone stayed in a Campanile hotel - we are off to France tonight and as usual I left booking stuff to the very last minute - I can not get a cheap place eg formula 1 and can only find this chain with vacancies, which is quite cheap but not as cheap. Has anyone stayed with them???? what do you think??

They are very good. We use a Campanile when we arrive in France for the last 3 years it has been 68€ every year which we thought was a bit pricy at first. We use a Premier Inn (was Travel Inn) on the first night back in UK and it has gone from £59 to £95. More evidence of rip off UK! Unfortunately I left it too late to book an alternative. We need more French hotels here!

Most of the French hotels also appear to have locked car parks - don't often come across that here!

Yeah, when I worked for Campanile they seemed to have a plan for the domination of Great Britain, but I think they have only opened perhaps 3 more since I left. I dont know what changed their stratagy 'cos Premier Inn now seem to have the market cornered. I used Preier Inn  twice recently though, once in London and once near Silverstone and both times the price was £59 and free kids breakfasts too (U15 I think it was). Think you where just unlucky Mr Paul.

PS Fudge I stayed at the Bastille one in Paris too one Christmas, was very good and a great location

Take 'Canal Road' into Bradford, and the Etap is on your left as you get to the 'city' end before the road rises up towards Leeds Road.
