It's a bit more pricey, but I am a fan of the Hotel Du Vin Chain (And Malmaison). They have about 12 hotels in each Chain across the UK, and have the Nicest hotel bathrooms EVER, really lovely rooms, great places to eat etc. Oh, and WINE. They also have offers and events on quite regularly, and the Sunday Stay-over, where if you spend a certain amount in the restaurant you get to stay for £20 I've used four or five times this year as a treat.. Treat being the operative word though, it's not cheap, but I think it's worth it, I stay in hotels probably 3/5 days a week with work so am one of those horrible picky people! The Radisson Group, who have Park Inn and Radisson Blu are also good. Radisson Blu especially, and although not budget, less expensive than Du Vin
