I've got one word for you : Priceline. You can easily get sub 100$ per
night and have a 4*, depending on period. YMMV.
I wouldn't worry about the station, you can get to Euston from anywhere in
zones 1-2 within half an hour max, and hotels tend to be near transport.
Also don't underestimate the power of the red buses.
