There are some surprisingly low scores for some good chains in there.

And I am surprised that Britannia is last. It should be tailed-off, lapped 3 times, last...

The Britannia at Manchester is fairly close to the casino. It is also the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in my life. By a large margin. Avoid.

Ha, think we all agree on Britannia Hotels, especially the one in Manchester. I've also had the misfortune to stay in their Hotels in Nottingham & Newcastle, which are equally dreadful.

And here's a weird Britannia Hotel fact you may not know - they actually advertise

Rooms Without Windows

I actually stayed in 1 of those at the Manchester one.

It was in September, I think. My last hotel had been the Palazzo with Sky

Unseasonably hot. Fan stuck on, and stuck on heating the room. Refused to swap my room. Claimed it was fully booked. As if. Lift was so bad, I swear I prayed the 1 time I used it. Thereafter used the stairs.

I quite like 1930's-style decor. But not that has been untouched since the 1930s...

That creaky lift in Britannia Manchester is quite the experience. Luckily, I could walk up 5 flights of stairs quicker & more safely than the time it took that lift.

Curiously, that Hotel does a quite splendid breakfast, including something I've never seen in any other hotel - fried bread. Pour some plum tomatoes over fried bread & that's a proper bit of grub.

Talking of breakfasts.
Every chain hotel I have stayed at over the last few years has the same toaster.
Its not really a toaster, its a toast machine.
You put the bread in the top, and it drops out at the bottom, done.
Or rather not done.
If you put it in once it comes out not toasted.
Put it back in and its guaranteed to burn.
This has been the case without exception.
I dont suppose that they were very cheap to buy either.
How on earth was it possible to sell so many toasters that dont work.

People with normal cognitive skills just adjust the speed button on the side.

Whereas those who were born awkward just have a little chunter.

Yes, speed button. Adjusts the speed of the conveyor.

In my defence I have stayed at hotels (not all of them) where signs are displayed on or around the toaster warning guests not to meddle with controls.
I have also been witness to these toasters billowing clouds of black smoke when operated by people who must also be unaware of the speed button, or gone along with the managements warnings.

.... @HAYSIE not knowing something, and @stokefc being funny .....on the same day.

Miracles do happen.
