So we've been lucky enough to find ourselves somewhere to stay over Fest weekend, but we're flying out on the Monday before hand and will be around for about a week after that. We'd like to make the most of that time and have some 'holiday' time too, so pool chill outs and a proper bed would be great. Can people suggest places to stay that are nice, but still value for money? We'd still like to be able to wander into G'ville but are open to all suggestions? Anyone else stayed after Fest weekend somewhere good?

More or less any of the hotels on SW13th will be fine although you can't always guarantee the pools will be filled / not full of crap. Paramount would be my pick down that way although it's the most expensive on that street. Quality Inn, formerly Comfort Inn, is quite a bit cheaper and fine.
