    I'd check out travelodges. There is one at J10 M42 Tamworth and its really near to Drayton Manor, with a 40 min drive to AT.

    HTH!

  • There's a Premier Inn in Tamworth (it's called the Ladybridge) which is about 5 mins drive to Drayton Manor.

    If you fancy doing a bit of shopping as well, there's a Travelodge at Fort Dunlop which is next to the Fort Shopping centre. It's not huge, but has alot of fashion shops - Next, M&S, Dotty P's, Small Debenhams, River Island, BHS, some shoe shops, Mothercare, Boots, HMV, WH Smith and others. It takes about 15-20 mins to drive to Drayton Manor from there.

    I also noticed when we went to Alton Towers that there's a Travelodge about 10 mins drive away, I think it was Uttoxeter.
