Where to stay in Spon End
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
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.
