Thread Name: BS: UP MARKET HOTELS?
Subject: BS: UP MARKET HOTELS?
Just spent 4 nights away with work at the Strathclyde Hilton at Bellshill, Glasgow.
Now, will someone advise me, what is supposed to be so special about the Hilton Chain?
Rooms were comfortably average with the normal problems of poor ventilation and no power sockets near the bed.
I do not do restaurants, prefering a fairly simple bar meal or room service, but the food on the 2 nights I ate in was poor to mediocre at best. Ever tried eating an over-microwaved nan bread? Apart from nearly breaking my teeth, you could have used the bloody thing to knock nails in!!
At £15.50, the Lamb Rogan Josh it came with might haved been good value from the Safeways Ready Meal section for something under a fiver, but not at that price.
Anyone else got stories of poor value from hotels they've stayed in?
