I arrived at the Travel Lodge at nearly midnight. There staff on front desk advised me they had no rooms despite me having a confimed rservation. It is their policy to overbook as usually peple are no-shows. Not a great start after a 3 hour journey down from the Midlands but at least they were helpfull in ringing round local hotels to find me a bed for the night. After about half an hourof getting the sorry we are full message they were delighted to tell me they had found somewhere. The "Quinns Hotel". I had no knowedge of this hotel but should have been concerned as everywhere else was full while this place had loads of rooms. I followed the directions into town and then out on the Epsom road and was pleased to see ample parking. I pulled in and though it is not the newest looking place but can't be that bad. The door was open so i wandered in thinking I had arrived in a cuury house. It reeked of curry and i think was being used as a base for a takeaway business. I found a reception desk and paid in advance (approx £50) for one night including breakfast. I was hsown up some creaking old stairs to my room. I switched on the light and it made not much difference to the lighting levels (proabably for the best) The room was not very clean, the beds were lumpy and felt damp, the furniture was old and patched up and the bathroom suite was multi coloured. I tried the telly more in hope than expectation to only find four channels and on the 14 inch screen was unwatchable. It had been a long day so tried to get some sleep on the uncomfortable bed which did not really happen. I woke early and went down to reception to tell them i was leaving. They seemed upset that i was leaving before breakfast but i really could not take anymore. I think i would of been better off getting arrested and spending the night in the cells.
However desperate you are for a hotel in Guildford, you are not this desperate. Go somewhere else!
