cheap hotel anyone?
 
I remember awhile back a few people mentioned a few places which were nice and not that expensive but I can't seem to find the posts.

Heard that Travelodge is introducing GBP8.00 rooms in the next days all over Britain...The only place cheaper is a metro bench...

the park bench sounds good although I'm not sure using the sprinkler system as a shower is legal over there is it?

Depends if you want to sleep at all...................

Everyone knocks the good old Golden Sands places but I've always found they lived up to a decent standard............ there's a few decent places round there (in the bit between Ramada/Standard Chartered and Burjuman) - I found a couple by searching the interweb at various times over the years.

I heard on the radio one of these generic cheap hotel chains in Internet City advertising rooms at about 450 Dhs a night including breakfast. Can't remember which one. Thats about as cheap as i've heard it during the winter so far.
