positive:
Handy roadside location in city outskirts
This discount chain hotel’s location off the A47 bypass in the western outskirts of Norwich proved popular with travellers as it was a short drive from the city centre for sightseeing, sports venues and shopping. Visitors to the showground across the road felt the hotel’s location was convenient for attending events there. Moreover, visitors to the university liked the easy access to the campus. Drivers noted it was simple to reach area attractions, East Anglia beauty spots, Norfolk seaside resorts and golf courses. Supermarkets, out-of-town retail parks and petrol stations were also conveniently located close by.
