My advice is to book hotels in advance or consider trying another city. It is easy to get to Eindhoven by car or public transport from most Dutch cities, I used www.hotels.nl just now and got a triple room in Novotel off the A2 (near the airport) for E70.50. Single rooms are E60. Despite Geoff's pessimism, these were discounted by 50%. Triples are cheaper than doubles! Roy and I stayed there last time, and the breakfast is excellent. The hotel's 'details' page says breakfast is E14. It is free (or was last time) for internet bookings. They still have free rooms. It is very quick to get to the meeting the motorway route. I wouldn't advise going through the the town unless you know the way!
