    Any need for that? There is nothing superior in pointing out the OP is a wind up merchant, just stops others wasting their time.
    Very public spirited.

    The hotel is bang out of order...

    They should give you compensation here..


    You should at the very least receive a complimentary 6 pack of eggs in the mail for 47p from tesco

    Tripadviser review of a holiday inn.
    They've got a " Batroom"!

    Breakfast!”
    3 of 5 starsReviewed 18 June 2014
    The staff here are very attentive and polite. A group of us stayed here for the London to Brighton Bike ride. There is a nice modern bar, although it is very small and not particularly well stocked so to get a larger top you have to buy a whole can of lemonade.
    The hotel is very clean. The bedrooms do need a little bit of updating particularly the batrooms.
    The breakfast is very poor. Powdered scrambled egg and stale pastries.
    Its a nice place to lay your head down, just go elsewhere for breakfast.

    As they appear to be fully booked tonight I don't think they will miss you.

    If you feel that the service you received was below par perhaps you should let them know so that they can ensure that no future guests are as disappointed as you were.

    So you got a cheap room with breakfast thrown in and you wanted a refund because there were no eggs?

    If I had been the manager I would gladly have given you 20p out of my own pocket to make you go away.

    I know that this section is for venting and warnings, I just didn't realise it was also for ridiculous whinges.

    .

    I think you're being a bit harsh, booking the hotel was an eggstravagent purchase so good service should be expected.
