Hilton Hotel - Glasgow
Address:
1 William Street
Glasgow G3 8HT
Distance: 1.6 miles - 7 mins (Driving) / 23 mins (Walking)
Currently (June 2012) have an deal for £58.20 per night (£64 with Breakfast) under The Great Getaway Offer. This is non-refundable and payable in advance and, apparently, will not earn you any Hilton Points either.
Obviously you will have to factor in taxis but if you want a little bit more luxury than Etap / Travelodge.
EDIT: Holiday Inn Deals link no longer working.
