UK Hotel ousts guests after Online bad review
A British couple says they were kicked out of their hotel after the hotel manager accused them of writing a negative review on TripAdvisor and called the police.

Adrian Healey, 33, tells the Blackpool Gazette that earlier this month, he'd booked a room a hotel in the seaside resort of Blackpool, England, to take his first vacation with his girlfriend Sherrie Andrews, 33, since being diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago.

But the Golden Beach Hotel's manager asked them to leave two days into their paid, three-night stay, they told the Gazette, adding that the manager stormed into their room, accused them of writing an online review and called the police.

TripAdvisor, by the way, says that 59 percent of its 167 online reviewers "do not recommend" this hotel.

3. Basically it is a paradise for drunkard, selfish furniture destroying low culture people, who are at
Unfortunately this " family run hotel" does not have any employee at night in reception, so basically it is a paradise for drunkard, selfish furniture destroying low culture people, who are attracted for low tarifs and no control from reception at unsociable hours!!!
Not having no one to turn to we tried to reason with them, but little you can do when people are drunk and visibly on drugs.
We told the owner and he just said sorry as he laid the "FULL ENGLISH breakie...a small sausage, 1 little bacon, 1 tiny fried toast and some beans...
All in all, AWFUL HOTEL, AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE, AWFUL MEALS....AVOID IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY BLACKPOOL, after an exciting tiring day, you NEED good rest dont compromise that for £ 50 , it is just not WORTH IT !!! We learnt that the HARD WAY !!!

4. What cretin would dare defile a full cooked English breakfast?
The British do not find this corruption amusing. It's quite simple really: proper bacon (not streaky bacon), two fried eggs, toast, black pudding, sausage, fried tomato, fried mushrooms, and baked beans (mildly warm and straight from the can). Marmalade may be eaten with the second piece of toast, at the end of the meal. Regional variations are permitted within civilised limit. Violators will be sent for transportation.
