The following hotels are within a couple of kilometers or so of our venues (the Manchester hotels listed are all within walking distance of the 'village'). Many of the hotels listed also have the benefit of being close to some other tranny-friendly venues too, so you can stay there even if you aren't visiting Trans-MISSION!
