Getting to the Ramada by car
lilachigh asked me about the route to the hotel round the back streets to avoid the dreaded Inner Ring Road. Just in case anyone else is driving and doesn't know the trick, here it is:
From the M1 - take M45, which becomes the A45. Stay on that road till you reach the roundabout in Coventry next to a big BP garage. Turn right here, by a big car showroom. You are now on the Leamington Road,
Follow this road to the end, then bear right at the traffic lights but join the left lane. A couple of hundred yards further on there is a large Victorian mock-Tudor school on the left. Turn left just before it, onto Spencer Avenue.
At the end of Spencer Avenue turn right onto Albany Road. Continue downhill until you go under the railway bridge.
Take the next right onto Bedford St (elderly terraced houses), then at the end, turn left onto Gordon St.
At the end of that street the Ramada is directly ahead of you, so turn right to get to the car park.
If you are relying on a SatNav and feel this is too complicated, put "Albany Road, Earlsdon" or CV5 6JU in, which will get you to the road leading to the way round the back.
Hope this helps!
