Worst chain hotel experience?

[northernladuk]

One of the fancy hotels I looked at in London marketed the rooms with no windows as an added luxury - you can stay out as late as you like because you won't get woken up by the sun streaming through the window in the morning
.

There is a budget hotel in the middle of Manchester that has the windows painted (very badly) on the wall and even has curtains on it. Quality.

What was bad was the constant banging of doors all night as people were going in and out of each other's rooms. And the noisy seagulls.

What were they doing to the poor seagulls?

SAP training in 1997 - two choices: the Ibis or Posthouse Forte. Known as "The Abyss" and "Forte Towers". Utterly souless. I was glad when I went contracting and chose my own hotels.

After an experience with the Days Inn on the m56 services I would rather sleep in my car next time. Filthy rooms, stained carpets, saggy bed and a ring of hairs round the edge of the floor in the bathroom.

I actually use Ibis and other Accor hotels quite a lot, maybe they're better in Europe (although I've stayed at the Earls Court one a few times and its okay.) I have the platinum card and business card which gets me upgrades and a 10% discount. All I need is a decent bed, shower and internet which all the ones here have. In the next few weeks I'll be staying in 2 different Mercures, an Ibis, an Ibis Styles, Holiday Inn, Radisson Blu and a B&B (a simple and cheap chain in mainland Europe.) I spent nearly 5 years in an Ibis in Münster, had my own parking space and got the same room each time and all the points I accumulated pays for my accommodation when I go somewhere with Frau D. and we stay in the upmarket Accor hotels.

Hotels in service stations are for hookers and truckers...

If you had gone a few more miles you could have stayed at the happy guest lodge

Which is next to a truck stop on the a49


And the rooms are hourly rated.

It was the only hotel that wasn't either 1h+ away or £200+ and we wanted a family room + a double. (I know, NCOTBAC)

Wasn't judging just that you may have missed a trick

Quite literally

Gotcha, I am sure my wife, Daughters and Parents would have been even more impressed with my choice in hotels
