Bosses at a Scottish hotel have apologised to a man who discovered a pair of soiled pants lurking behind the bed in his room.
IHG, parent company of the Holiday Inn Express brand of budget hotels, has admitted that a "lapse in standards" led to a pair of underwear going undetected behind the bed of sickened guest David Craig.
The 52-year-old previously told the Record how he discovered the knickers after dropping his car keys behind the headboard in his room at the Holiday Inn Express Stoneyfield in Inverness.
