im trying to find a hotle in cardiff for the FA cup final but every hotel in cardiff is booked up and can't even get a hotel within 30 miles of cardiff.
i didnt really fancy driving there and back in the same day. Due to the massive amounts of que's
anyone else going down for the final and managed to get a hotel on the friday night? if you have when did you book up?

Yes and even if a cancellation comes about you will be looking at lest 250-300 per night. These hotels really kick ass out of charging for events like these

Sometimes if u ring a booking agency they may be able to get u a room as they sometimes have an allocation for each hotel and wont sell u one from the general public
