    Bad hotel mistake....

    I mis-took this for a hotel called the Beeches – have pre-paid non refundable.

    It looks like a real life fawlty towers.

    Half tempted to stay from a comedy perspective – the owner sounds a live wire looking at his retorts to customer feedback!

    There are no good recent reviews - all the recent ones are bad. It seems you'd better book into another hotel and write-off your pre-payment. I always check T.A. before I book.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          Suck it up, raise your concerns at the time. Moaning about it after on TripAdvisor is pointless if you haven't complained in a civilised manner at the time. Either that or if bad reviews have gone on TripAdvisor since your booking, highlight them and raise your concerns to the people you booked it with.

            Looks like its worth staying there just to meet a real life Basil Fawlty!

              Once again thank you for your patronage."

                As long as they don't object to you having cocaine and hookers in your room, who cares?

                  My favourite was the comment about xenophobia and having a heart with the white woman and the foreign social worker!

                  Yes, I got to turn up, meet this dude, and see how my complaint gets translated back.

                    Many moons ago I stayed at what was once called the Garth Hotel now the BEST WESTERN Palm Hotel | 4 Star Hotel North London

                    Then it was a row of terraced houses the 'owners' were buying them up from each end one by one and somehow they had linked them at the back
                    You can imagine how difficult life was for the people holding out in the middle no pressure!

                    The family that ran it were Italian and probably not the types to wrong but they were great to their customers

                    Anyway I remember four things

                    1 They were running telephone sex chat lines out of all the empty spare rooms.
                    2 Going up to your room at night could be distracting or darn right scary!
                    3 The Owners Chef on finding out I rather liked the advert Dudley Moore did with Tesco on TV including the one for Tiramisu (that dates it) decided to make me a proper one and continued doing so every time I stayed
                    4 They provided a safe harbour for cars in the car park guaranteed...

                    So now I am worried, am I being deceived, just how much sugar is really in a spoon full!
