It dominates the skyline of Maid Marian Way and over the years has welcomed thousands of guests to Nottingham. But The Brittania Hotel, part of the hotel chain ranked the worst in the country, has been dogged by poor reviews.
It is the ninth year in a row that the chain has been at the bottom of the pile and in Nottingham the venue is ranked 41 out of 44 hotels in the city on Tripadvisor. But while it hit the headlines nationally, people living and working around the site say they have not suffered any adverse effects.
Manager of The Roundhouse pub, Lisa Bedford, said: "I am not aware of that [the ranking] and I am the manager here and I have not heard anything about it. It is not a good thing to have on our doorstep. We have more tourists from St James' Hotel and there are no issues there. I have no knowledge of it affecting us at all, but it would not be the best to have the worst hotel on your door step."
