Today's hotel: Jurys Inn, Birmingham

Reliably good.

Last weeks hotel: Travelodge Royal Scot, Kings Cross Road, London

Well this is not where Imthought.  It is not one of the two opposite KiNgs Cross station but 5 or more minutes walk away.  It has clearly seen better days, and apparently a £12m upgrade is due this year.  I stayed two nights which cost £139 and £74 respectively, without breakfast (thought they threw one in when my room key did not work twice.

At the lower rice it is reasonabke - at the higher I would have been disappointed.

Wifi ok if £3/day.  Shower a bit anemic

Area interesting

Last night's hotel: Travelodge Bethnal Green

So, ok.  A Travelodge.  i thought Berhnal Green was going up market.  I didnt see much sign apart from the house prices.  

Its ok. Wifi pay for £3 is ok.  Shower a bit weak.  But quite affordable and only 3 mins from tube station.  Would stay again

The other night's hotel: Premier Inn, Borough Market, London

Very pleased with this place.  Not cheap at £190, but I'm not paying.  Its a pretty much standard Premier Inn, but the location is brilliant - just off the Thames.  The breakfast room (in neighbouring pub) looks t onto the Thames and St Pauls.  The Glove is three minutes away.  And the Golden Hynde.  Really interesting area too, which is gentrifying but still looks like yer actual London.

Shower good apart from being an on the wall dispenser.  Wifi ok

Last night's hotel: Park Inn by Radisson, Telford

Very good and very reasonable.  Good shower (lovely bathroom), comfy, good wifimthat it was easy to log on to.  Breakfast   Fine but a bit dry.
