Believe it or not Eric .. :p Has always been business and not pleasure, have never yet shared my bed with anyone in a hotel room ... sadly... LOL. So no need to listen to fat bellied Falstaff.

Well, maybe the ones in Canada Eric .. never been, but if anything like America, the hotel chains you mention are the ones that dominate (like their crappy food chains). Here, in England, we have small n large groups and still many independently owned country/city hotels.

The Travelodges/Holiday Inns/Premier of this world are mainly aimed at business travelers and families who really only wish to stay one night, and are good value for money. Of course, groups like Holiday Inns, have 3 categories of hotels. Oh hell, could go on all night .. but you will only glaze over, and I'm sorta' retired now.

Maybe now I should concentrate on something I have never done in my life as would not be mixing business with pleasure which I never believed in.

Yes, perhaps should start a thread now on things you have never done and will set out to do .. :D:D

Thanks all for your help. Blackburn would be better for me as it is nearer to my wife's family and meals are not a problem as we would be eating out with them or friends. As long as the place is clean and the beds are OK then that is all we need. It is just that I have heard recently about some Travelodges being run down so was checking if anyone knew if those two were OK
