Holiday Inn Express in Salford Quays is where I have always stayed. Not exactly that close to the arena but nice and reasonably priced.

You're actually paying for this crap? It's like the equlivalent of 500 american dollars for the best seats.

Not being rude, but how much are you looking to pay emma?

I'm probably gonna go too - on my doorstep and the undercard looks good.

When I went for the Hatton V Tsyzu fight I stopped in the Tulip which was just down from Old Trafford and was a excellent hotel but you did have to get the Metro Link into town which really only took a 5 min walk to the platform a 5 mins on the train.....

When I went for the Lacy V Calzaghe fight I stopped in the Conference Rooms Hotel, it was more central but to me not half as good as the Tulip.....

How can you not be interested in the God Like beatings Calzaghe gives out?

G-man · Post by **G-man** » 05 Sep 2006, 16:54

There's not gonna be much about under a £100 for the night in town emma - The Brittania is central and fairly reasonable in comparison to some of the others.

Unless money is no object i'd forget the ones the boxers stay at i.e. Midland.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 05 Sep 2006, 16:55

Holiday Inn Express in Salford Quays is about 50 quid or thereabouts.

I am.

Most of the hotels are booked up as theres a beauty contest and a tom jones concert.

emma · Post by **emma** » 08 Sep 2006, 08:38

Theres also the manu match.

I stayed at the Midland for the Calzaghe v Lacey fight. Team Lacey and all of the Sky team were there, great atmosphere, really got you in the mood for the fight.

My favourite hotwl in Manchester is the Lowry, but its a bit lumpy price-wise.

emma · Post by **emma** » 08 Sep 2006, 09:04

yh ive got somewhere now.

thanx for the replys everyone.
