Hotel Room for a morning

I am going on a ghost hunt in Arundel sometime soon. The ghost hunt requires us to stay up all night and I need somewhere to have a sleep before the 2 or so hour drive home. Any ideas as to who will offer a room from 6 till 12'ish?

A revision to this post: I mean Any idea what hotel, etc will offer me a room like this i.e Travelodge? I don't want someone to put me up for a few hours :eek:

    Think you will probably have to book room from previous day and use till their normal checkout time, probably around 10am. Or you could try phoning local hotel and just asking them,
  • Travelodge may be your best bet. Book early and get a £10 or £26 room. And even then, you should go at 2pm the day before to check in or else they may give your room away.

    Even though you only want the room for 4 hours, they can't sell it if the previous occupant isn't out by 4am. And then they have to have housekeeping come and clean the room. I know of hotels that have airline staff stay "double book" rooms this way as they know the airline staff are being collected at a specific time for their flights and thus can "sell" the room again. But I don't think they're are many airline staff staying at hotels in Arundel!

    You could try a B&B, but I wouldn't want to get up at 6am to let you in!! :D

    Why not try getting a £10 a night travelodge room for 2 nights as then you can check in the day before, have some time to relax after your journey and then you won't have to be out until the day after.

    Are you going on the hunt with Fright Nights?? My husband has done one and said it was fantastic!!

    So long as you guarantee the room with a creditcard and call them the evening your stay starts (ie the night of the adventure) to say you won't be arriving til 6am there is no need to physically go to the hotel beforehand unless you want to.
    Don't forget to use the Quidco link for booking it though ! :)
