Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Aspen House Hotel is one of the closest hotels to the Vector arena. So if you are planning on going to  the inconic and amazing Simon and Garfunkel this weekend and haven’t got your accommodation sorted check out the site.

There are still good tickets available to the shows on Saturday June 13 and June 14 8 pm. And if you don’t want to get  tickets at the usual outlets there seem to be plenty on Trade me too!

Why choose Aspen – close enough to walk to the arena, yet far away to be quiet! Plenty of eating places cheap or fancy nearby. Secure parking on site. FREE breakfast included in your room rate – I think this is so civilised and a great way to feel one of getting value for money when one pays for a room!
