I travel around the country on "bizness" fairly often and have learnt not to bother with hotels unless I can hlep it.
A good source of info is this
http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ (http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/)
for checking up on places, but a while back I discovered places like this:
http://www.arcapartments.co.uk/apartment-2bed.php (http://www.arcapartments.co.uk/apartment-2bed.php)
where Nick, Mrs Nick and The Boy will be staying next week for one night for £60 for the three of us.We shall wash and dry all our laundry, cook our own food and arrive home with not much to do.
Why do folks stay in Travel Inns and similarly sick2: places, whilst there is this around?

Never tried 'em personally ~ must be a bit like those serviced offices that you rent by the hour............ Mind you there used to be a hotel in Amsterdam that one could book by the hour whistle:

Oddly it was called "The Cok Hotel"
Perhaps not so oddly when I think about it.
-
I don't get it
-
You would have if you'd booked a room there whistle:
I see from Google that it has gone upmarket now and become the "City Cok Hotel" and is no longer describing itself as a "Budget Hotel" which it was in the 1970s.
Number 2 tram from the Station ~ get of at the Vondel Park. Hotel was just up the road. By the tram stop was a bar that opened from 9.30 pm until breakfast. ~ Happy Days cloud9:

I used to sleep in the Vondel Park. It was free

He fell into my trap! eveilgrin:

Then you will remember the "Crazy Horse" Bar on the other side of the road.
I got into a lot of trouble by going there whilst on a city break with Mrs S#1. She had a "headache" and went to bed early ~ I said I was going for a stroll and headed straight for the Crazy Horse (which I knew well from my previous visits) for a couple of beers. Got back to the hotel in time for lunch the next day. She was on the point of calling the police and reporting me missing. eeek: She couldn't understand that when you meet up with old "friends" in a bar like that you don't look at your watch.
