Hotels too expensive?
Discussion
Depends what you’re looking at and when I guess.
I stayed in the native Manchester the other week. Quite a low fuss / low amenity place but very nicely done and a 1br loft (large bedroom with separate kitchen/living area) was £108 a night. I thought that was decent for a Friday booked the week before.
It was miles better than the saltmoore (Whitby) a few days later which was £250 and felt poor value, but then not many choices in that location.

This may have been mentioned before but has anyone else noticed how expensive hotel rooms now are? My first thought is that it may be due to so many hotels being turned over to house immigrants, less supply, higher prices.. No idea if the statistics support that though.
The percentage of hotels used for housing asylum seekers will be minuscule I think prices are just very dependent on location and date!
The massive increase in utility bills will be s huge factor also.

Tories filled 220 hotels. Current lot intend to reduce considerabbly. FYI, there are nearly 10,000 hotels in the uk so high prices nothing to do with immigrants. Though I guess there may be local disparities.Covid made a huge difference to prices, as many more people decided to 'staycation'. My local hotel charges more than double the price it was asking in 2020.
Have to mention, Brexit also meant that most of the European hotel staff had to leave, and they have had to find a workforce from elsewhere in the world, which has increased their costs a lot (and no, there are not enough locals to fill the spaces).

I know many on here want to blame absolutely everything on Asylum Seekers but maybe do a bit of critical thinking eh?
