Look back at George Harrison's vintage self-portraits from his trip to India in 1966
After a Hard Day's Night in Liverpool where can Day Trippers rest their heads without breaking the bank?
It's only an hour-long drive away, but bearing in mind everything Manchester's rival city has to offer it's difficult to cram all your sight-seeing into just a day and then hit the town at night.
So the answer lies with the Ibis Styles Hotel on Dale Street, which is located in the heart of the city in the Cavern Quarter - and best of all for music fans and tourists it has a Beatles theme.
Each Ibis Styles hotel has its own unique theme and this one celebrates the Fab Four on every floor.
We were greeted in reception by a drinks table that resembles a retro cassette and cheerful Beatles artwork on the walls, including a large walrus and the lyrics 'Goo goo goo joob.'
Check-in with the friendly staff was fuss-free and mobile as we were invited to take a seat without lingering at a desk (guests also receive a discount on parking at the nearby NCP car park).
Each floor has a Beatles reference and our floor (six) was 'Abbey Road', an appropriate floor to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the iconic Liverpool band's 11th studio album.
