A business boss complained to Premier Inn over his room stinking of smoke - only to be slapped with a £100 fine and accused of causing the stretch himself.
Mark Mallender checked-in for an overnight stay at the budget chain hotel in Dover, Kent, on May 8th while travelling for work.
When checking into his double room at Premier Inn Dover, on the A20, he noticed a cloying smokey smell in his room, which was strongest in the bathroom.
