About Spon End
Where to stay in Spon End
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds cluster by the arena. Coventry Rugby Football club plays at Butts Park Arena, and a Premier Inn stands on the same main road, which is what keeps a stay out here practical at all. Options stay narrow. Anyone wanting range books nearer the SkyDome Arena and Greyfriars, then travels the modest distance west when a fixture calls.
