Budget Hotel With No Business Sense | The Hotel Inspector | Full Episode

[@MisterMurphy]

9:48 "with his balls not to Alex's taste..." made me giggle!

[@leeschnitz9782]

I must say I love that black jacket Alex is wearing.

[@briarelyse5136]

He didn't want to do the towel thing so he botched it on purpose. Weaponised incompetence.

[@ah7910]

I actually stayed here with my then fiance now wife. She had a vegan curry locally and was very flatulent and we were informed a guest next door had complained about “the noise”. Anyway, as embarrassed as we were it really demonstrated how thin hotel walls can be. In any event, a pleasant enough stay - for the cheap price it was perfectly acceptable.

[@Seraphina-o4y]

As terrible as I’m sure it was for your wife, that is HILARIOUS 😂

[@dickturpin1964]

I heard someone complain about flatulence in the next room while in a hotel in Spain. I thought, I hope they don't turn on the TV, it is wall to wall porn channels and just one news channel! 😆

[@catlovely5438]

This falls under TMI....

[@knutsfordhouse]

Does your wife know you posted this? Are you still alive?

[@cplcabs]

So it projectile farting then?

[@MrSpliffy3]

Alex is so super professional. Priceless

[@eilsmile8732]

“She became pregnant”…… yes just out of nowhere quite unexpectedly

[@eilsmile8732]

His ego gets in his way! In the clip of them standing outside side by side he looks like he’s got her in a hold she can’t escape from

[@Tastiest-of-Cakes]

Why do the men always think they know better? If you did, you wouldn't need her, would you?

[@adeaston6553]

The Bonnington Beach hotel is now run by HMO a Migrant hotel. No surprise there then.

[@eilsmile8732]

Wonder what happened to their debts…. They took on millions sadly

[@sapphire22011]

Wonder how many places that featured o this down the years went the sane way

[@jff1813]

They're clueless, have no taste, and are 600K in debt, but he thinks Alex is wrong. The CCs call this the "Bonington".

[@clonejones7955]

Souvenir T-shirts "I got boned at the Bonington"

[@jff1813]

@@clonejones7955 Well, according to him, the decor (maybe especially the disco balls) gets the guests frisky!😄

[@bezstarling8419]

In my inexpert opinion, all the curtains are hideous and the idea of glitter balls is bizarre.

[@Seraphina-o4y]

I’ve never heard them called glitter balls. I always called them disco balls. I prefer glitter balls 😂

[@serendipidus8482]

They are auch a symbol of sleeze if theyre not actually in a dancing context or at a party. They were once kind kitch but id say now they are more related to strip clubs than to discos.

[@TeethSink]

Christ, he's so negative. Imagine being married to that.

[@jessieb7290]

He’s so obnoxious

[@jerihaggard7234]

I, personally, hate throw pillows!!! Who knows how many heads/butts have been on those pillows. Unless they are laundered after every guest, but that probably doesn't happen. Seems like English people love their cushions and plenty of them! Also, the awful wallpaper. Why not a fresh coat of paint. Which can be changed cheaply and easily as needed. English folks love their wallpaper.....must be a "cultural" thing....... Bless Alex for trying to help out, but the owners need to listen up!!

[@serendipidus8482]

Absolutely. If you want to run your own hotel you better have some experience with paiting papering carpeting cleaning plumbing or you will pau through the nose for those things to be done from outside. I cant stand throw cushions and dont see the point. You have to throw them off the bed onto the floor to get into the bed! How is that a thing? And wallpaper always seems very homely but its like staying at your grandmothers!

[@Maria_jones163]

I agree with u on the silly throw cushions in a hotel isnt hygienic at all. but U lost me when you starting saying wallpaper and throw cushions must be an English cultural thing like have u ever left ur country before ? Loads of countries have wallpaper and throw cushions Arab countries European ones uk China and elsewhere in Asia America infact all the countries do depends on your personal taste is all

[@jerihaggard7234]

@@Maria_jones163 OK, I'll give you that! I have traveled the world many times, all continents except Antarctica. But, I have found that England has a propensity for wallpaper. But, you are right, depends on personal taste!

[@monicahamm3353]

geez..... raise the rates 3 pounds each and include the set of towels in the cost.......so start charging 18 pounds. Personally, I just don't get charging by the person............. I go to hotel....and pay $125/night regardless I'm by myself, with my husband, or brought along two kids!

[@serendipidus8482]

I agree. Pay for the room and squeeze as many into the bed as you want! And then they charge a single person an extra fee as well? Whats that about..

[@angelbulldog4934]

I'd rather pay a bit more for the room and not haggle about towels. And at this cheapcheap price, I wonder exactly WHY the price is so low. In my mind, a room should at least equal the per-night rate that a person would pay in rent or mortgage. Even at £2000 per month which is now low, it's at least £66 per night.

[@j.j.9123]

Hmmm, do you think the room should be equal to say a good Marriott room for that money. Because in my city, you can get a fabulous room with a full breakfast for the price you’re quoting in a Marriott by the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a room far better than this hotel.

[@angelbulldog4934]

@j.j.9123 In America, there are no rooms at $15. The lowest price I could find in my town of about 100,000 people is about $50, and it's not a place you'd want to be. Marriott would be $100+ per night.

[@j.j.9123]

Darling, she is talking pounds, not dollars. She is also saying that they should raise the room rate to what would be around the equivalent of $200 to $125 (she is giving pounds). I’m saying the room isn’t worth that:

[@angelbulldog4934]

@j.j.9123 £15 is $18.36. I do understand the difference. Generally speaking, we get what we pay for.

These shows always have a seemingly happy ending... then you come to the comments! Such is the fakery of "reality" TV..

[@donaldpump1282]

Im surprised this brilliant expert didnt suggest they charge for toilet paper

[@pomegranatepip2482]

Basic maths. Money in vs money out.

[@leeschnitz9782]

Why didn't they just charge $18.50 pp, still under 20 so still a bargain but they'd at least make some profit.

[@jake6112]

$18.50 is still £15.

[@serendipidus8482]

I know in those days things were much cheaoer. You could get a bed at one of those big franchise hostels for 12 pound. And like a mc donalds you know it will be clean and white and warm and thats about it but you know what youre getting. Nothing quirky. I think paying 18.50 in those days i would want a pretty nice b and b not a budget ...but not a sure what year this is. Hard to tell cos of the old fashioned wallpaper! A

[@simonkeithpalgrave5766]

Knob head I say

[@Corrie-gk4go]

what an utter pillock

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

Bizarre. 2 people from opposite ends of the spectrum, both with vague ideas, yet so sure they were right and talking different languages, I got what the couple were trying to do, they just didn't have a clue. Little Miss Bollinger shows up and as usual is a One Trick Pony. Perform Her way or she is out of her depth. What the hell did it matter about the cushions? They were already there. The humbugs made me chuckle.. On the other hand she was right about the towels and other charges. How hard is it to simply Tell people when booking and on the website to bring one or pay a quid? He said they were paying a quid to buy one down the road? Yet they were paying 18k a year to hire them????? To me this is a Doss House. To the owners it is a Doss House. I am using the term Doss, in the way we used to in my Youth = a comfortable Place to sleep and keep clean (and stash belongings) in between doing Other Things. I would have been delighted to have found places like that at that price. Alix was clueless. They needed to utilise that function room, but not for bloody cookery classes! Get a Music License and put live Music on. Increase the Bar takings (The Rooms work, they are Not the problem?) Do Comedy. Rent it out to Instructors, be it Yoga, or Flamenco or Fly tying classes. Hold Fairs and charge for a stall. Do NOT paint it bloody mauve and make it look like a rich Middle aged bint's idea of the 60s. Provide Lockers for said belongings and Charge for them. There is Nothing wrong in charging for extras. Hell you are providing a bed and facilities for £15! Another Alix FAIL

[@aruglaempire2518]

Cushions are NOT washed regularly. They are filthy.

[@gwenstephens6734]

​@@aruglaempire2518Actually where I work we have little throw pillows and we wash the covers quite often because they zip on and off.
