Arrived on business to city and decided to drop my bag before heading to conference . Booked hotel last minute . Wasn't cheap . Man meets me in street and takes bag showing me entrance to " hotel" next to door to betting shop . Ok a bit weird but I was in a hurry .i return later and let myself in with code and find my room is up 2 flights of a spiral staircase which I find hard to navigate ( won't go in to detail ) . So I ask weird guy who appears with bag if he had another room . He does - it's fine and I say I'll move to that one . Then he says he would prefer if I left . I'm now feeling a bit freaked out and think best to get the out of the place and away from weird guy . I ask him to reimburse me before I leave . He agrees then comes back and says his boss says no . I'm cross now and mention trip advisor - he then says he will pay me himself and gets me to accompany him to thencash point . He gets me the money and off he goes . Now in ianother hotel - but what the fuck was that all about - was it a brothel , should I get in tripadvisor anyway ???

What part of that made you think it was a brothel?

Is it somewhere in the UK?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 21/06/2017 18:31

There is no bit of that I understood Confused

pinkmagic1 · 21/06/2017 18:31

Name the hotel, I'm curious now!

Why do you think it was a brothel?

BandeauSally · 21/06/2017 18:34

Were there bowls of condoms on the reception desk? Confused

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 21/06/2017 18:35

Why would you think it's a brothel?

Guavaf1sh · 21/06/2017 18:35

Well it sounds very odd but from what you've written I'm not sure how it is a brothel

Livedandlearned · 21/06/2017 18:36

I need to see what happens, I'm intrigued and a little bit Hmm

Could your name have been mistaken for a man and he thought initially you were a 'punter'? When he saw you were a woman he asked you to leave??!

ArtemisiaGentilleschi · 21/06/2017 18:37

Sounds like he thought you were going to be the guest from hell that whinges about everything and wanted rid of you.

DontTouchTheMoustache · 21/06/2017 18:37

He asked you to leave but without a refund and you didn't ask why? Wtf?
What does TripAdvisor say about it at the moment?

HarrietKettleWasHere · 21/06/2017 18:38

Was it in Turin Grin

I stayed in one and it had a 'menu' in the room.

you couldn't get a club sandwich on it, I'll tell you that much.

What was the hotel called and what do the reviews on TA say about it?

SparklyMagpie · 21/06/2017 18:39

What makes you think it was a brothel?! Confused

ScarlettDarling · 21/06/2017 18:40

Sounds very weird but not seeing why you think it was a brothel? Where was it?

BrieAndChilli · 21/06/2017 18:41

I'm a bit confused about the brothel bit, also what was the matter with the original room?

Ahardmanisgoodtofind · 21/06/2017 18:42

I'm so confused, why would you think brothel?

Intheknickersoftime · 21/06/2017 18:42

Was it in Norwich by any chance?

MissionItsPossible · 21/06/2017 18:42

I am very confused. And why the emphasis on the spiral staircase? Is that one of the reasons you think it's a brothel? Is this in the UK? What's the name of the hotel?

Sounds dodgy - please tell us where it is so we can avoid it!

VerityHabitat · 21/06/2017 18:44

Eh?

MamaHanji · 21/06/2017 18:44

Unless there were signs saying 'viewing room' and 'butt fun foyer', with scantily clad women draped around the leopard print chaise lounges...how would you know it was a brothel?

More likely he was Norman Bates and wasn't feeling particularly psychotic that night.
