Ever since the awful incident when 5 guys tried to stand at a urinal that was obviously designed for 4…

Jez and Brooke are typical hotel guests. Although they expect to get decent value for the price they pay, they don’t necessarily expect the very best quality in everything. They do, however, expect a reasonable effort to be made in minding the details, especially in the bathroom arena. And they’re not afraid to speak their minds if things aren’t right, either.

…at the Copthorne Tara Kensington in London I sent a message to the hotel manager and got replacement TP and a note, but really this is the most stunningly appalling TP for any respectable hotel to offer and they should just fricking upgrade it, the cheap bastards.

Sometimes we sacrifice certain comforts for a good price, especially in a city like London where hotel room rates are known to be on the super high side. Of course, combine budget price with a sweet Piccadilly Circus location and you might be even more forgiving?

“…didn’t expect the Ritz, so I was expecting a low budget hotel and the location can’t be beat. However nice the lobby, restaurant and bar were, the upstairs was a different story.

The upstairs shared toilet in the Cliff Hotel.

Like most of the water closets I encountered in the Middle East, leave your used toilet paper in the nearby trash bin (plumbing can’t handle western style wiping).
