    How long are you going to be there, and where do you need to be exactly?

    It's going to be over 24 hours, off for a night out tomorrow and got a place on Princess Street for the night. Then into Manc for the day after so ideally not an NCP so am not paying about 40 quid!

    Google maps for: 386 Deansgate, Manchester. M3 4LB
    There a large/cheap car park there. Used it a few times. Think it's about £6-8 for 24hrs. Steady walk down Deansgate or catch the tram.

    Wrong end of town for me, as I usually park in Castlefield area (not for 24 hours mind). I am in Mcr as I type, so when I go into the centre tomorrow I'll take a look but then again, not sure if I'll be able to report back before you set off!

    Generally though, it really depends on how much you are willing to pay for convenience and safety, plus what time will you get going the following day - street parking is free from 6pm to 8am, I think. There will be quite a few places within a 10 minute walk or so that are not NCP, off or near Oxford Street near the theatres and Bridgewater Hall / Gmex. The following day, best day-parking is at Castlefield or near Victoria station.

    Cheers both!

    Deansgate only half a mile from the hotel, that'll do nicely.
