Hang on a minute Al. Usually you talk sense (ish, LOL) but...... B)

The one in Le Mans is a 1 star and the one in Portsmouth is 3 star.

The facilities will be different, although yes I agree with some of you even before you say it that the room will look the same when you are asleep. :dry:

It's also supply and demand, land costs, etc.

After all, a Honda Goldwing costs a tad more than a CB500..........same company, rip of Japan..... :whistle:

Why not have a look at airbnb.com? If it's only for a one-night stopover, doesn't matter if it ain't the Ritz. Just a thought.
