Last night's hotel: Park Regis, Birmingham

Very nice.  Good free and easy to use wifi, nice breakfast, comfy big bed.  Apparently this room was an upgrade. 

This weekend's hotel: Ox Pasture hotel, near Scarborough

Very nice

Tonight's hotel: Best Western Tiverton

Lovely desk.  Shower fine. Wifi free and ok

Tonight's hotel: Hyde Park Boutique hotel, London

Its damned hot Carruthers. 

£99 for the 4th floor with no lift.  But they carried my bag.  

Last night's hotel : Park Plaza, Riverside London

Ooh what a location - opposite Millbank.  I didnt have a room with a view. BUt I bet they are amazing.  I also didn't pay - but it cant be cheap.

Wifi free and ok to good.  Shower fine apart from the usual problem of elegant but unfathomable controls.  Room spacious and comfy.  Breakfast not perhaps as top notch as the rest, and they could do with more lifts.

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

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.

Tonight's hotel: IBIS Blackfriars, London

Its ok.  Wifi good.  Bathroom is one of those pod things which I'm not fond of.  Very quiet given the location.  Bar restaurant rather funky, if narrow

It's ok.

Last night's hotel: Hampton by Hilton, Birmingham

No food in evening, but next to a Domino pizza.  Breakfast rather dry, and not in the best part of town.  But good wifi, good plug points and very convenient for the tram.  So, fine

Tonight's hotel: Jury's Inn, Watford

Tonight's hotel; room 614 Novotel, Birmingham

Excellent wifi, cold though, shower not quite enough headroom, breakfast ok to good

Last nights hotel : Pentahotel, Birmngham

Achingly funky, awful wifi.

Golden Jubille Conference Hotel Glasgow

This is a weird one.  For a start it is a hospital.  Yes a hospital.  The hotel is round the back.  Second it doesn't have TVs, it has Macs.  Yes a Mac with freeview.

Only thing to object to is that the bedroom is too dark.  Like many other hotels it just does not have enough ambient light in the room.  Lots of lamps, but that it just a pain.

But very good overall.

Last nights hotel : Pentahotel, Birmngham

Achingly funky, awful wifi.

Tonight's room

Secret location

Crown plaza Gerrards Cross room 307

As last week

Malmaison Birmingham

Very nice.  Excellent continental breakfast - not worth the extra for a full english.  Good free wifi.  Achingly cool, which means dark.  No car park so add on an extra £20.  Part of the Mailbox along with Harvey Nicks.

Holiday Inn Express, Exeter

Ok.  Tricky to get to though close to motorway.  Puzza ok.  Wifi free but poor.

Last nights hotel: Crowne Plaza Gerrard's Cross

Very comfortable, good free wifi, nice restaurant, gym if I had time to use it, but oddly cold (temperature not atmosphere).  Some free water, kit kat, soft drinks in minibar.  Which is nice.

Mercure Swindon

This week's hotel: Jury's Inn, Swindon

Gosh the Magic Roundabout is frightening!  No car park but one about 5 mins (actually across the road but the entrance us on the wrong side).  Cheap but breakfast not included.  Breakfast rather dried. Bit noisy.  Thin walls?  Shower curtain and wall mounted shampoo.  Variable water strength and temperature. The comped Internet is blisteringly fast. Its fine enough.  Travelodge next door.  No gym

Hotel 53 in York

Never stayed there but had many successful events there.  Sorry to hear they have been flooded.  Lovely people, lovely venue

A forgotten hotel: Jameirah Creekside hotel, Dubai

One I missed out. Two,stop,over . It was lovely.  Inevitably it was not actuallly Beside the Creek.  But you could see it from there. Probably.

Tonights hotel: doubletree by Hilton, Cambridge

Great view, great balcony

Tonight's hotel: Carlton al Moaibed hotel, Damman

Last night's hotel: Mariott al Jaddaf, Dubai

Lovely, if not doubt expensive.  Rather in an island in a sea if desert at the moment.  Nothing around it but a petrol station.  No doubt that will change.  Stonking wifi (free), great plumbing, hightly trained staff, great attention to detail.  Free shuttle to Dubai Mall.  Just wish I want under the weather and could enjoy it more.

Tonight's hotel: Premier Inn Dumfries

Perfectly servicable

Last nights hotel London Continental Hotel

Back to an old haunt, now surpringly expensive

This week's hotel: The Platinum hotel, Muscat, Oman

First the good news: lovely staff, good location, great city, amazing view from rooftop pool, fantastic country.  Then the intermediate news: the decor tries hard but the finish is not top notch.  Finally the bad news: intermittant (but free and sometimes good) wifi, cafe not great shakes, plumbing a bit random (which way is cold for the sink?).  Not the end of the world, is it?

Last night's hotel: the Wharfhouse, Canal Basin, Gloucester

Rather lovely.  Imagine it would fantastic in summer.  Lovely room with bicvies, super breakfast.  Only problems are that is is in the middle of nowhere

This week's hotel: La Fermee, Rimboval, France

Last nights hotel London Continental Hotel

Back to an old haunt, now surpringly expensive

Last night's hotel: De Vere Devonport hotel, Greenwich

A favourite

Last Friday's hotel: Radisson Edwardian, London

Lastnight's hotel: Premier Inn, Pacific Quay, Glasgow

Nice food, very comfy, but a bit slow for food - better book.

Yesterday's hotel room: The Carlton Hotel, Rugby

Very nice people ans very convenient for IChemE and the station.  But cold and noisy.

Quaint wifi password, ok shower, ok full English.  Work-a-day.

Tnight's hotel room: Room 103, Sudbury House, Farringdon

So far so good.  Looks lovely, restaurant and bar look far too nice for the likes of me.  Should be here next week so will explore more then

Last night's hotel: room 510, Jurys Inn, Broad Street, Birmingham

Have I completed the Broad Street set yet?
