hey,

i'm thinking of visiting sometime the first week of July (staying either Monday or Wednesday night.)

anyone have any recommendations of cheap (under $70 US) available lodging, with a single room? or good sites where i could find this?

and if anyone wants to meet up for a pint or two and pictures that'd be cool, too. :cheers:

Hi. There's the castlefield YHA, from £20.50 for 1 adult single for 1 night - in the city centre. There are many budget hotels also, but i imagine that they'll be over about £40 a night in the summer.

There's quite a few hostels on http://www.yha.org.uk just search for Manchester.

Around £20.50 a night which is about $37

Here's a few I've picked out
