PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    I hope it's not the Holiday Inn Express I stayed in with worms in the damp carpet and lots of lovely silverfish and woodlice sharing the bathroom...yuck.

    Which one is that -- we need to avoid it:eek:

    To be fair I have stayed in many Holiday Inns, Expresses and Hilton and never yet had a problem. Except a while ago in a Holiday Inn where there was a leak in the bedroom but I was upgraded immediately with profuse apologies.

    It used to happen a bit: people taking rooms, long term, in hotels.

    It was the one at the NEC and the staff were totally uninterested, it was late they had no spare rooms and I had no choice but I won't be going there again or to anyother hotel in the chain.
