Cheap places to stay near the SECC?

Question

Being the big sap I am I bought my boyfriend a ticket to Slipknot on Dec 8th (I await the slipknot flaming, flame away)

Unfortunately I can't get the time off work to go so I've just got him a ticket (when we talked about it he said he'd be happy to go alone)

I want somewhere for him to stay overnight that's decent and safe as I'll worry about him (dunno why he's 6'5 3rd Dan Blackbelt lol)

But I can't afford the expensive hotels around it that I know of?

There are loads of hotels (all near each other) in the West End, which is very close to the SECC. It is a very safe place too, so no need for you to worry about him! Hope you find somewhere suitable and your boyfriend has a great time at the concert.
