Mum divides opinion after ‘awful’ UK staycation & claims she’s NEVER enjoyed a hotel stay

A MUM has divided opinion by revealing she thinks all hotels are "awful" after returning from a UK staycation.

She said she had returned from a two-week holiday in Cornwall with her husband, having stayed in four and five-star hotels.

Despite all of them having "great reviews" she said she was disappointed each time.

She wrote on Mumsnet: "We always seem to end up getting a dud room with a broken bed, or broken windows, or the one room in the entire hotel next to the busy main road, or above the bar (when the hotel was marketed as being a 'relaxing' retreat!)"

She finished by saying: "Thinking about it, I've never had a positive experience of staying in any hotel.

"They're always a bit weird and shabby, even the really posh ones.

"And people coming and going all night is annoying. What do you all think of hotels?"

Some people agreed, with one person saying: "I think we’re pretty bad at hotels in the UK (unless you go to a top of the pile 5*) and they’re mostly very overpriced."

Another wrote: "I like the idea of them but not the reality.
I don't like people faffing about with my stuff for a start. I can make my own bed!"

A third said: "I find they are either overrated (literally), a bit soulless, or quite nice but rude."

However, others sang their praises.

Someone wrote: "I love them. Really properly love them.";

Another said: "I love being looked after in a hotel. Going down for breakfast. Beds made. The swim maybe. The bar. The room service. The weird ironing board stuck in a cupboard. All of it."

One person said to go for lower-priced hotels to avoid high expectations: " I prefer Travelodge. Know exactly what I'm going to get - no frills, clean, no-one bothering me."

If you fancy a cheap UK hotel break, here are some of the most affordable in the country.

And another mum has revealed why you should never go on two-week holidays - and people surprisingly agree.
