Whatever floats your boat.
5 guys beats them all
5 Guys is very expensive, but then if there are a few of you just getting one of their giant portion of chips is enough so that's where you make your money back. Some real spud economics in play
That'll be Tracy who is also a director of a private planning agency. No conflict of interest though of course.The Observer have a report on this now including a bit of information missing from the Telegraph report
5 Guys having 5 guys?
I have seen that video online.
There must be a demand I guess because they would’ve done more research than me but I just can’t believe the hotel that is already within the Ricoh would be fully booked every night!
Well it isn't, and nor would this be, no hotel runs at 100% occupancy every night, they don't need to. That said, it is well known that there is a shortage of hotel beds in Coventry, particularly Monday-Friday, it is why 3 new hotels are being built in the city centre. This hotel was never just about serving Ricoh visitors. In my old job a few years back, we used to have massive issues booking hotel rooms around the north of the city for guests from our head office.

If Marriott hotels are really interested in the site, they're a pretty big outfit and could take this further. In fact, they're ginormous.
Unbelievable that the council would reject the redevelopment of a brownfield site by a well know well regarded brand.
Surely this is pushing some kind of state aid issue now

Not really, they have just rejected planning behind closed doors without letting it go to a committee rather than giving them money for the hotel. (That we know of)
Remember when we had people on here trying to make out the council couldn't make anything difficult in regards to planning?
5 guys beats them all
Is the hotel at the Ricoh still Hilton?
You really couldn't make that shit up.
I didn't think a hotel was needed and there was too much traffic? Strange how it was rejected in private as well.
I can't believe this is fact."You can't build a hotel there, our mates are doing one"
It's a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel, yes. Franchised operation owned wholly by ACL.
Ah, so Marriott's would be direct competition to the ACL/Wasps Hilton hotel?

Shit one!Five Guys food is over rated, over priced and gave me the shits for two days the last time I went.
Well clearly you’re right and I’m wrong because they’re trying to build one so they must’ve done their sums I just don’t understand the contradiction of “hotels are never full” and “we always had trouble booking hotels for our guests”.

In Coventry?A recent survey has shown the City Hotels are full 90% of weekends ( not sure of week days )
How can the council refuse a hotel in one location yet (probably) approve one in a location in close proximity?Council in bending over backwards for Wasps shocker.
Fine.....have it your way...As a Burger King man, this doesn't bother me at all.
It doesn't seem too hard to join the dots here in terms of the blatant favouritism that Wasps get from CCC. Why is that, I wonder?
At this point, you'd hope at least one Councillor would be up in arms about both this and the fact that Wasps have completely broken their promise to create jobs by building their academy in Coventry.
Corruption, negligence or incompetence, pick at least any two from three...
In Coventry?
