Roy and I stayed in Novotel (near the airport) for 68 Euros for both of
us, including a very good buffet breakfast.
It is a much nicer place than Eindhoven Motel - or 'Eindhoven Hotel' as
they now call it.
I arrived for breakfast saying (to Roy) I was not hungry and didn't want
to pay the advertised 14 Euros for breakfast. I went to pay, and found
it was included (in the internet booking deal) so I quickly became quite
hungry!
... so 34 Euros beats Geoff by a mile (or is it kilometre).

Do you read the list Dennis and Derek?
You really ought to come, and it would be nice if you advertised in the
_free_ emailshot.
You might even sell something (8-)#

This buffet is very cheap (15 Euros including two beers for me this
time) and is highly recommended.
