When there is not a conference / exhibition on then many of the rooms are available and only cost between 40 and 60 pounds a night.
Transport links are limited - but the DLR is increasingly useful and reliable.
Another example is the Holiday Inn express at Canning Town (£60 a room with cont. Breakfast), Standard hotel, as you would expect from a train but right next to Canning Town Tube (jubilee line) which is only eight stops from the heart of the West End.
Unlike most hotel in central London, if you arrive by car, it can be parked for free here.
