Pricey for Luton and most hotels there are using the barter system rather than money.

38 quid shitter in luton tomorrow  oh dear, just saying luton is bad enough Worst place on earth, fucking dire, shithole. Spent an hour walking round town looking for somewhere decent to eat (did well to not get mugged TBH) then gave up & ended up in weatherspoons, which by its nature is shit. Don't think I saw a white British person. My comfort inn was a highlight... and that was shit too! |

Not a patch on a proper English sausage but very tasty all the same. I bet you will be pissed off if all you get is porridge. Still better than eating the yardstick I suppose. |

I believe eating the yardstick is the breakfast favoured by The Gays.

Montrose is pretty good to be fair, as is the hotel!
Don't need a stab vest like you do in most parts of Scotland, I've just done a mini tour / pub crawl, dinner in the 'tel now, chicken & chorizo stroganoff followed by key lime pie & tennents.

That's a sort of tautology there isn't it,

The name would put anyone off but its the polar opposite of "Bradford", its like a mini English heaven (no fire, no "brothers"... Just this type of shit...  |

Hate to brag, but had a corker in Barcelona, booked into the crown plaza, a standard room only, with loyalty points from all the nights in Stevenage Holiday Inn Express, and when getting to the reception, a nice young lady said ' oh, follow me you need to check in elsewhere' went up a floor in the lift and into the club lounge, she said we had a free upgrade, checking into the 'exclusive club lounge area' all drinks and snacks were free all day, I asked about booking breakfast as I had booked room only and she said, it's all free in here  Then was told our free upgrade to a premium room wasn't ready so she could double upgrade us to a suite it was fooking huge and had a balcony, the lounge area was bigger than ours at home, double king size bed and seperate bathroom and shower, best nights sleep in yonks. |

Had a similar experience about 15 years back at the Tower Thistle. Arrived early on the offchance that the room was ready, it wasn't but it led to a rather nice upgrade to a suite. Separate huge lounge with kitchen area, curtains opened and closed at the touch of a button with fantastic views over the city. You could only reach the floor with a special card for the lift  |
