You might want to try the Pickwick Arms or the Excelsior. The Leohouse is
also quite cheap, but you need to reserve far in advance. Sorry I don't
have phone numbers, but they're all in the book, thus available through
directory assistance.

If you only have one day, I wouldn't create the extra hassle of staying
outside of the city.
