PREMIER INN

There are 3 in and around Eastbourne, the nearest is at Polegate – approx 2 miles

When Booking you can chose Saver (Fixed Fee) or FLEX Option. You have a further option to “Pay Now” or “Pay On Arrival”.

If you chose FLEX OPTION” you can cancel WITHOUT PENALTY or without making a payment (if you chose FLEX Option).”

This is IDEAL for SPEEDWAY as if meeting is Rained Off / Postponed before 1pm on the day of the Meeting, you can easily cancel Booking (online) without paying anything at all.

POLEGATE

(General Comments – very accessible to Stadium down A22, very good quality, decent Evening Food and excellent Breakfast Meals. Rooms are typical layout for the franchise and has FREE Car Parking adjacent to Petrol Station (medium sized Co-Op and McDonalds. A more traditional “Truckers type Cafe” at the end of the cul-de sac, is highly used and recommended by locals for a superb Breakfast / Snacks.

TOWN CENTRE 

(General Comments, excellent and modern accommodation and Breakfasts and the most modern of the 3 Premier Inns. Approx 6 miles from Stadium, but the best if you want to explore Town and Beaches before or after Speedway. Only drawback is lack of a dedicated Car Park – vouchers for £3 for 24 hours from Reception for large modern secure Multi Storey

LANGLEY – Willingdon Drove

(General Comments – decent enough but local Manager inform a Refurbishment (needed) is due to may 2019. Meals are OK as is breakfast and about 4 miles from Track. Good but would be 3 preferred of the 3 Premier Inn options.

TRAVELODGE

Willingdon Drove

About 4 miles from Track, Free Car Parking but no on-site Food although plenty of options in near vicinity. Good Quality Rooms for franchise and far and away the better of the 2 options.

Hellingly

Very close to Track about 1 mile on Island where A22 and A21 meet, that’s about the only plus point. Tired, dated, dirty, the Car Park resembled a Land-Fill when the writer stayed there, no Food Outlets and wi-fi unusable – avoid at all costs!
