Last night's hotel: Radisson Blu, Manchester airport

Eye wateringly expendive I believe. Jolly nice. Breakfast a bit over fancy for my taste.  Wifi excellent and free.  Shower a bit feeble.  Excellent view, and quiet.

Last week's hotel: st. georges hotel, Langham place, London

Photo doesnt do it justice.  The real thing here is the location and the views (yes that is the moon).  The restaurant/bar heights on the 15th floor has amazing views of the BT tower on one side, the BBC on the other.  Very convenient for where I wanted to be.  Rather pricy.  Cheaper no doubt than the Langham across the road.  Right next to the BBC, which probably pushes up,prices too.

Wifi free for basic.  Shower rather feeble (London standard).  No breakfast.  Rather dated but lots of room.

Last weekend's hotel: Travelodge Meadowhall Sheffield

Just the place to spend at the ice rink.  There are closer hotels but they tend to book out and be expensive.  This one is walking distance from the Meadowhall train station, and just off the M1.

Did the job very well. Price was when booked in January.  We could probably have got it cheaper on the day.  Staff friendly.  £3 wifi, and rather weak shower with the usual Travelodge shampoo,on the wall.

Probably back next year.

Tonigh's hotel: the George hotel, Huntingdon

Well its a pub.  Which is a bit odd. But hey ho.  Very poor shower, the Cloud wifi (so ok ish, and free), and the weakest shower I've had in ages.  There is Shakespeare's The Tempest in the courtyard next weekend which sounds like a lot if fun - wish I was here.  Also wish they had told me when they stopped serving food last night...

Last night's hotel: Marriott Huntingdon

Pretty ok if you have a car.  On an industrial esrate so hard to go anywhere if you dont.  Food good, wifi good.  Typical Marriott.

This week's hotel: Hotel Kraka, Unna, Germany

Little German town withsome old walls and god restaurants.  Typucal German business hotel.  Towels not luxurious, bath/shower, good breakfast, connected to bar. Wifi good apart from my room where it was not existent.  So it goes.  Happy to return.  75 € per night b&b
