00:00I'm going to be staying at the cheapest hotel in the UK.
00:03I'm staying at this hotel in Blackpool for £16 a night, that is £8 per person, crazy.
00:10I am staying at the Cocoa Beach Hotel.
00:18Just checked in, let's have a look at the room.
00:21So starting off, we've got a nice double bed with two towels,
00:27with soap and some hair and body wash.
00:31We have this railing.
00:33As we can see, the door's not in the best condition.
00:38Looks like it's been smashed through here.
00:41Hot drink facilities.
00:43We've got some milk, coffee, sugar, two mugs.
00:50We've got a lamp.
00:53There you go.
00:54There we've got a sink, literally right next to the bed.
00:59So is that good? I guess so.
01:01Let's check it's working.
01:03Yeah, everything's working there.
01:05This looks like a prison mirror.
01:07Let's just, first of all, let's have a look.
01:11So you see there's some marks here, a few little marks.
01:15Mattress is a bit old and springy.
01:20Ooh, I think we've just found blood.
01:33It's not too bad.
01:34Just noticed more blood on the curtains.
01:39Let's show the floor.
01:41Yeah, you can literally just pick the floor up, the carpet.
01:44As you can see, I'm in the bathroom.
01:47Toilet is very clean.
01:51That's good.
01:52Shower.
01:55It's a bit, it's not the best shower.
01:57Like, what's that, a shower head?
02:00Could be something from a farm.
02:02Good morning.
02:04I haven't had the best sleep, but it's more the people who are sleeping here were too loud.
02:10I've just noticed that suspected blood all up the wall.
02:16That is disgusting.
02:18Let it run now for about three minutes and it's not getting any warmer.
02:24My shower was a big fail.
02:26So now I'm going to my prison corner and give myself a little wash.
02:31Well, I was going to use this cup, but it's dirty.
02:36It is time to check out of the prison.
02:39It's time to check out of this hotel.
02:43I've had a lovely stay.
02:57Get me out of here.
03:02And that was my stay at the cheapest hotel in the UK.
