Where to Stay?

So, we are on a somewhat tight budget with this trip, and our initial hotel inquiries from a broker came in at over $3000 for the 9 nights. We did some online research and came up what we think are a good mix of fancy, British, and cheap places to stay for under $1500 total. Generally we are only in each place for one night, but a couple are for two. Each time we do a particularly fancy place, we cancel it out with a particularly less fancy place.

Take a look and see what you think!

Marriott London County Hall

Oakley Court, Windsor

Castle Lodge Guest House, Horley

Crescent Guest House, York

Melville Castle, Edinburgh (yes, it really is a castle)

...and finally the Holiday Inn, Glenrothes

OK, so maybe that last shot isn't of the hotel. I figure you all know what a Holiday Inn looks like, so I went with the most interesting picture I have found from Glenrothes. Maybe we will be able to find the Thirsty Hippos (Glenrothes has an odd public art tradition and the Giant Hands almost beat out the hippos for the picture here).
