what if you pitch up a decoy tent further down the road. surely that would distract the delinquents.

I'm not from Glasgow, don't know it that well, but even I know that naebody in the Gorbals is falling for a decoy tent. They'd have them both ransacked and cleaned out in a matter of seconds. God forbid I slept through it or they'd be off with me as well, try and sell my organs or something. Bit like Methil tbh.

Look out for serviced apartments. We stayed in one in Manchester, right opposite The Printworks so you couldn't get much more central. £80. Didn't include breakfast, but did include a breakfast pack which was a mini loaf of bread, butter & jam.
Bound to be places like that in Glasgow. Booked ours through LastMinute.com and got it £10 cheaper than their own website.

Just another option John - it means you can get central without paying through the nose for a hotel room

Stayed in an Etap in Birmingham. You have to walk out the shower cubicle naked into the room. My mates ran away with all my clothes the bastards.

I appreciate your input Deano but I am sorry... I will be going nowhere near a place that classifies a bit of bread, butter and jam as a fucking breakfast pack  That is disgusting. If someone offered that to me as a breakfast pack, I'd spit in their face and the authorities would be having to pull me off of their limp and lifeless body.

There was more to it than that, but it was within the cost of the room, all I meant is it didn't include bacon, eggs and what not.
You go with your awful sounding Etap.
All I know is I lived it up in a 2 bed apartment, with living area, fully working kitchen and dining table for one night for about £80, and you couldn't get much more central in Manchester.

Lol you sound like a total snob deano. What I got from the first post was that she's looking for a bed for the night. The fact that my girlfriend will probably be at mine means there's no room so the etap's the next best option by the looks of it.

Not a snob. Far from it. Just like value. £110 for a Holiday Inn 15 minutes taxi ride out the centre didn't seem like a good deal to me.

£35 for Etap that's not even a fiver in a black cab seems like good value to me. Whatever floats you though, when I went to Manchester for the EUFA cup final me and my mate got the shittiest B&B you could find, communal toilets and everything. Was only £15 each and right in the city centre above a rough as fuck pub. If you weren't too bothered about the risk of having your throat cut during the night it was sound though.
