Overnight stop...

Hi, on a drive from Scotland to south of England, looking to stop off overnight without too much detour off route. Looking around Sale in Manchester area as a very rough guide. Likely Premier Inn or similar but main criteria is close location to onward travel.
Any suggestions to pass on pls? 🙂

    I'm pretty sure I've stayed at both the Premier Inn and the Holiday Inn at M6 J21 in the past (on separate trips). Both were exactly what you'd expect.
    Premier Inn:
    Manchester Rd, Woolston, Warrington WA1 4GB
    Holiday Inn:
    Woolston Grange Ave, Woolston, Warrington WA1 4PX

    Appreciate that but I didn't mention halfway, I mentioned around Sale in Greater Manchester. 🙂

    Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated. 
    (Just for info, the Holiday Inn Warrington is currently closed to guests).

    The one near where I live has a truly awful reputation, so no fear they would stop at one of those!

    Ibis Styles Haydock - off the M6 and easy to find. Quieter than you'd expect as it's close to the A580
