Cheers im coming up by train into interchange yeah

I've actually been looking at Bradford hotels for that very weekend as I have some friends over from Spain (I did my best to convince them otherwise).

In terms of choice of hotels and value you'd probably be best in the centre, at somewhere like the Great Victoria, HI express or the (Bulls affiliated) Jurys Inn which was £45 per night that weekend when I checked the other day - the two options nearer Odsal (Guide Post and Cedar Court) tend to be a bit more expensive. It's only a fiver in a taxi up to Odsal/Wibsey and it'd be more convenient for your arrival and getaway.

Hope you've prepared them for the delights of the city centre!

I'd whisk them out to Saltaire, Haworth, Ilkley etc as quick as possible!

Your best bet then is the Holiday Inn. It's virtually next door to the Interchange, and it's not massively expensive.

They've been angling to come over for a few years.

In the last email I received they said they've seen all the pictures and can't wait to stroll along the oasis of the re-generated Bradford canal to the urban village then shop and dine in the new Westfield complex, while staying in a fancy apart-hotel located above it.

Oy! No cheese eating surrender monkeys in the Gateway to the Dales if you don't mind. Or is that the Germans?
