If you’re heading to an event at the Peterborough Arena and want to keep costs low, you’ve come to the right place. You don’t need a fancy hotel to enjoy a comfortable night – there are plenty of resorts that give you the basics you need without blowing your budget. Below you’ll find easy ways to spot a cheap resort, what to look for in the rooms, and how to avoid hidden fees.
A budget resort still offers the key perks: clean rooms, free Wi‑Fi, and a simple breakfast. Look for places that bundle the main services you need – parking, internet, and a short walk to the arena – instead of charging extra for each. Many business‑oriented hotels, like those listed in our recent guide on business hotels, already include fast Wi‑Fi and meeting spaces at a low rate.
First, book early. Prices jump the moment an event is announced, so locking in a room a month ahead can shave 20‑30% off the cost. Second, compare all‑inclusive deals versus à la carte pricing. Sometimes an all‑inclusive resort sounds pricey, but when you add up meals and drinks, it ends up cheaper – as we explained in our piece about all‑inclusive holidays. Third, use discount codes from travel sites; many offer extra percentages off for “budget‑friendly” stays.
Don’t forget to check the resort’s location. A place a short bus ride from the arena can be far cheaper than a central city hotel. Look for resorts that advertise a free shuttle – it saves you on transport and often means lower nightly rates. If you’re traveling with a group, ask if they have family rooms or shared suites. Those save money per person and often come with extra space.
When you read reviews, focus on practical things: clean bathrooms, reliable Wi‑Fi, and quiet rooms. A cheap resort that’s noisy or poorly maintained will hurt your experience more than a slightly pricier option with good service. Our post on family‑friendly hotels highlights that safety and comfort matter just as much for budget travelers.
Finally, be aware of hidden fees. Some resorts charge for parking, early check‑in, or even “resort fees.” Our guide on hidden fees at all‑inclusive resorts lists the most common extras. Ask the front desk before you book, and write down any charges that aren’t included in the advertised price.
By following these simple steps, you can find a resort that fits your budget while staying close to the Peterborough Arena. You’ll have more cash left for tickets, food, or that souvenir you’ve been eyeing. Ready to start searching?
