is it safe?
i would have to say the Britannia in Birmingham. Had to stop there with a mate due to fecking uni rules at Aston. We arrived at the 6th floor and the elevator doors opened.....to a construction site. After a little trip through this site with a bag containing clothes and a laptop (thank Argos for big bags, and thin handles, finger was numb for a couple of days afterwards.) we arrived at our room. There was nothing on the telly, which was no bigger than a portable) so we played Worms. It was then i looked up at the cieling and noticed that, not only the fire detectors/alarms were missing, but the live wires exposed as well.

still didn't get a discount, but found an even better hotel for just £10 extra (with complimentary hair-drier).

apologies for length, girth and lack of cock (in the story, not real life).

I stayed there last June.
When we arrived at reception we were greeted by the sight of some very giggly paramedics and policemen, some very pissed-off looking hotel staff and one very nonchalant looking bloke in the middle of them all.

Turns out the nonchalant bloke worked at the hotel and hadn't been paid for months...so he turned up and superglued his hand to the desk.

We were supposed to get a complimentary bottle of wine as well. We weren't very happy when we rolled in drunk at three in the morning and there was no wine to be found. We spent nearly an hour harassing anyone we could find demanding our free bottle, in the end I threatened to superglue my hand to the bar if we didn't get one. I don't think they found it very funny but we did get our wine.

It wasn't very nice wine though. We had a swig each and then fell asleep.

I don't even like wine.

I stayed there too.
Never again. Apparently it's ranked 8th worst hotel in the country by Tripadvisor. I shudder to imagine the others.
