A Scots family say they had the holiday from hell after staying at a controversial hotel in Blackpool where mushrooms were growing on the ceiling and toilet brushes were clogged with dried loo roll.
The family told Edinburgh Live they booked the Blackpool Promenade Hotel through Booking.com for a budget trip to the English seaside resort city. But on arrival, the couple and their seven-year-old son were told they were not sharing a room.
Traversing a "collapsing" slanted set of stairs to reach their rooms, the family was disgusted to find "mould and mushrooms" growing from the ceiling in the room their son was expected to sleep in, and a "filthy" toilet in their quarters. The toilet brush, they said, was "caked" in dry loo roll.
