After the interesting times we have had with the Skybus, I thought about paying an exorbitant amount of money for a taxi into Nottingham, but we took the risk with the Skybus again. Nowhere near as 'interesting' this time - the bus was again one where the luggage should be stored below and this time the driver actually agreed to put it there, and he didn't run into anyone - basically we had a completely acceptable bus trip.
We then waited around Nottingham until it was time to check into our home for the next week or so, annoying a taxi driver when we did so - the fare was only £3.20; I suspect that he had been waiting for a long time and was hoping for a slightly more impressive fare once he finally got a passenger!
The apartments at Premier Suites are really good for the price, just over $1,000 (Australian) for eight nights accommodation, and for this we get a large one bedroom apartment kitted out with all the amenities you'd want, within easy walking distance of the city including the railway and tram stations. The kitchen is the main thing; it means we don't have to eat out for every meal. Also, there's a washing machine and dryer, so we can (in theory) wash some clothes rather than taking them to a launderette.
