Hotel : Etrop grange

Oldie

Hotel: j w Marriott, Dubai

Tonight's hotel: Jurys Inn, Manchester

So good to be back in Manchester.

Last week's hotel: Holiday Inn city, Birmingham

Been done up since I was last there.  And they upgraded me to a mini-suite which was nice (but I dont think I would pay £350/night for it).  Very hood free wifi, good breakfast, and good easy to use shower. And best of all about 2 minutes walk from New Street Station (if the traffic lights are against you).

Last night's hotel: Centre Park Hotel, Hyde Park, London

Pretty ok, really.  Just off Hyde Park, and near a couple of tube stations.  £151 for 2 nights, no breakfast.  Room nice but a bit dark.

I'll look at it again.

Tonight's room: Jubilee Conference centre, Nottingham

Nice

Today's hotel: Devonport House, Greenwich

A favourite, even if they did forget the caffeinated coffee sachets this time. This is room 316.

Tonight's hotel: Travelodge Fulham

Very tricky to find.  Busy location.  Quiet though. Usual pay for wifi.

This week's hotel: Sudbury House hotel, Farringdon

Nice as ever

Last night's hotel: Comfort Inn, Edgware road, London

Edgeware road is long, and one end of it is posh. Mthus is the other end.  Turn right out of Edgeware Road tube station.  Hardly Beirut, that you might think it because if the Lebanese restaurants.

The wifi was free but didnt work.  The continental breakfast was very good.  The shower was fine but oddly small because there was room for a bigger one.  Maybe I'm just fat.

There might have been a roach but it was clean enough.  So fine but basically £20 too expensive.  But then again London appeared full and my usual haunts were another £20 more ahain.

Last night's hotel: Holiday Inn, Solihull

Very nice.

Tonight's hotel: Travelodge Broadway Plaza, Birmingham

Upstairs in an entertainment complex.  There is a lift.  Walkway outside window.  Hot and stuffy.  Oh look, another Trevelodge night.  Wifi £3 but ok.

Last week's hotel : Corner House hotel, Taunton

Old pub style hotel. Very mazy lay out.  Good food.

Wifi okish.  Shower okish.  Place very pleasant.

Last week's hotel: Marylebone Inn hotel

Just up from old haunts.  No breakfast but a real bargain.  Dont know if that will last.

Reasonable wifi, good if small shower. No lift

Todays' hotel : Park Inn by Radisson

Perfect room number 241

A colleague said "its a Premier Inn without the purple" .  Bit harsh.

Goid free wifi.  Shower fine but liw pressure.

Breakfast ok.

The week's hotel: The Cumberland hotel

World's worst wifi.  And not quite enough lifts.

Last night's hotel: Travelodge, London Docklands

Fairly standard, though stifflingly hot.  Very close the DLR but tucked away behind a building in India Docks.  Wifi good, breakfast at the good end of Travelodge standard.  Cheap too.

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
