 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am sure this is covered in other posts but I struggled to find something concise. We normally stay at the Novotel in Reims on the way down, but this year have got a later train on Maundy Thursday and so am not sure we'd make it there before midnight. Looking for recommendations for similar along the A26 with private parking. Looked at the IBIS etc in St Quentin but it is public parking which is not conducive to a decent nights sleep for the OH. An F1 and similar though is not conducive to a decent nights sleep for yours truly though

St Quentin Campanile - that's where we usually stop if Reims is too far.
It has it's own car park - although it might not be gated like some are.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would probably stick with staying in Reims - arriving at midnight and having a lie in! Maybe you could also turn up early for your train in the hope of getting on the one before.
We use the Novotel at Tinqueux which is a bit more accessible than the accor hotels in the city centre.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes - Tinqueux area is best if stopping in Reims.

@Cheesie168, I've used the Ace Hotel Arras/Beaurains several times - quiet, cheap and spotlessly clean. Restaurant (and a Macdonalds) next door. Gated car park although the gate has always been open when I've been there. I expect they close it at night.

The Hotel BB at St Quentin has gated parking, comfy beds and is far enough from the Autoroute to be quiet.

Cheesie168, when we arrive late evening we have always gone for Holiday Inn Express in Arras.
Just an hour from Calais. Friendly. Quiet. Good breakfast.
Worth joining the IHG Rewards Club. Free. Small discounts, but also care with rooms to give you good night's sleep.

Thanks for the tips in Arras and St Quentin. We've used the Novotel at Tinqueux for the last 14 years or so and it fits the bill winter and summer, so have not had much reason to look elsewhere.
