Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but my mum, my sister and I shared a room at the Travelodge at Sutton Coldfield for £19.00!  Very basic and could have done with a bit of decorating, but was clean, had a bed & sofa bed, loo, shower, brewing facilities and a Harvester restaurant right outside the door.  Did have to drive  though, it was about 10.5 miles from the NEC, but found it easily with the satnav.  Can't really complain about £6.33p each per night Happy.
