Inexpensive lodging. In the US, we have great Hotel chains, with furnished studios and suites, with kitchens, TV and Internet, for $30/night. I need some better lodging options in the UK.

I do plan to visit Cardiff. Wales is half of my ancestral heritage. North of Cardiff, as well as Beaumaris. I hear Beaumaris (and Anglesey) has been busy with tourists this WInter, because Wills and Kate were living up there. But maybe that is improving, as the wedding approaches.
