    It's a godforsaken neck of the woods around there. I'm sure Harold Shand would have done a much better job of Docklands, had he not been taken for a ride
    Haha - I try to stay in AirBnB's normally, but my usual place was booked this week so this is my backup Premier Inn. Cheaper than City but close enough! Would have given you a nudge if I'd have known!

      Ah, they apologised in advance for some potentially noisy people on my floor - should have realised it was you

        Dinner has been some of the steak and ale casserole I made the other week, with chips and peas; and very nice too

        Went some way to making up for the lack of lunch due to the salad debacle

          The PI breakfast at Kendal was slightly disappointing. Tinned tomatoes rather than grilled, the water to make tea was tepid (although I was supplied with a fresh cup when I complained) and the milk was sour.

          Fire alarm went off in the night - still waiting to see if they allow my 'good night, guaranteed!' refund.

            They probably will

            When the fire alarm went off at the Girton PI one time, not only did they refund everybody without being asked, they gave everyone a free breakfast too.

              In all my years staying in hotels for a good percentage of the year I've had precisely two fire alarm incidents. One in a Premier Inn, one in a Best Western - both in Hull, a few miles and a few years apart!

              You'll get your refund - they tend to be pretty good about it tbf.
