Shame on you! - Premier Inn

I am completely confused as to why anyone would turn up in a city with nowhere to go?

Im assuming if the OP had been on time they might have been getting a connection to somewhere else, they wouldnt necessarily have needed to stay overnight at all.

But she must have known that the weather would cause some delays and she might have to make alternative arraignments. When there is heavy snow fall they recommend drivers take blankets, shovel, warm clothing ect in case they get stuck.

That is what I inferred from the OP too.

The Op chose to travel so she has to take some responsibility.

Dreadful behaviour by Premier Inn. Clearly, they should always keep a room vacant in case a distraught woman turns up at 3am.

this is a good idea actually, all hotels should keep one room and one room only free for anyone who turns up unnannounced, they could charge a reduced fee considering there may be quite a few people in there at any one time lol

im actually patenting this, its definately a money spinner

Wow! Is the OP an author? That reads like Mills and Boon type stuff. How would you finish that sentence?

As I stood looking perplexed with tears welling up in my eyes....................

...............suddenly he grabs me, tipping me across his lap. With one smooth movement, he angles his body so my torso is resting on the bed beside him. He throws his right leg over both mine and plants his left forearm on the small of my back, holding me down so I cannot move … He places his hand on my naked behind, softly fondling me, stroking around and around with his flat palm. And then his hand is no longer there … and he hits me—hard.

Well don't stop there!!!!.....what did she do?

There is a long and well-documented history of hotels - and Inns - turning people away when they're full:rotfl:

Very true....at least Joseph and Mary realised why the Inn could not take them in.... it was Christmas!

If I had been on my way to a town under the circumstances you describe, Id either have been trying to book a room while on the train or text a family member to get online and book me something. I wouldnt have left it until 2am in the morning hoping to get a room at a hotel or B and B.

They didnt put you in an unsafe situation, the hotel was full, there was little they could do for you.

And the messages of the last few days have been do not travel, it was clear that the weather was going to be horrendous, you put your safety first and you stay home.

I think seeing what the weather was like I would have decided to not intend to travel all the way to Dorchester..... but stop off in London and book myself into the Dorchester
