A motorway services hotel has been voted as one of the worst in the UK - with guests advised to ‘wipe their feet as they leave’. The Days Inn by Wyndham at Taunton Deane services on the M5 scored second in the top 10 worst motorway hotels in the UK, according to research by car maintenance brand Prestone.
Researchers searched the country to discover the best and worst motorway hotels, according to customer reviews. Prestone analysed 90 motorway service hotels, using review data from TripAdvisor, Google and the hotel’s own sites to provide average scores for each, reports Somerset Live.
The Days Inn hotel - which received an average guest score of 3.1 out of 10 - was only pipped to the number one worst motorway hotel in the UK by the Rivington Lodge at Rivington Services on the M61 with a score of 2.8. Reviews on Trip Advisor on The Days Inn, operated by Roadchef, do not make good reading with complaints of the accommodation being "dilapidated" and guests being advised to "wipe their feet as they leave".
