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 ???

I am intrigued about what you can't bring yourself to tell us about the spiral staircase.

leannejade · 21/06/2017 18:44

So curious for more details!

DillyDilly · 21/06/2017 18:44

Why would you accompany a stranger, that you thought worked in a dubious place, to a cash point or any other place for that matter ?

Why Norwich?!Shock

mock outrage at my home city being a sex tourist destination Grin

AnyFucker · 21/06/2017 18:45

Did it have a red light over the door ?

A spiral suitcase sounds a bit of a faff for the average punter.

Gazelda · 21/06/2017 18:46

Did you book it by the hour?

missmoohoo · 21/06/2017 18:46

Place marking, am intrigued. Grin

HipsterRaccoon · 21/06/2017 18:46

Is that a thing? So pampas grass = swingers and spiral staircase = brothel? Every day's a school day on mumsnet 😁

AnyFucker · 21/06/2017 18:46

Where there chains and whips hanging off the stsircase ?

I had a bizarre hotel experience their recently which rings a bit true of the op 😁. It was my first time in Norwich, and had a lot of fun there! But the hotel was a bit squalid!

This is going to be a TRex in ASDA thread.

gleam · 21/06/2017 18:49

Arf, Verity. I was just thinking of Sharon!

DancingLedge · 21/06/2017 18:51

If it was Norwich, everyone in Norfolk knows which hotel.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 21/06/2017 18:51

Apart from being next to a betting shop and being asked to leave, were there any other clues that made you think "brothel"?
It's not screaming knocking shop to me so far.

HarrietKettleWasHere · 21/06/2017 18:51

This is true, I am pretty sure I know the Norwich hotel in question Wink

PavlovianLunge · 21/06/2017 18:51

I once had a friend who was afraid of spiral staircases. I'm now wondering if he'd had a swinging-related mishap on one.

Ginslinger · 21/06/2017 18:52

I don't know what's difficult to understand about the OP - would love to know if there are trip advisor reviews

Atenco · 21/06/2017 18:56

Hahaha. I actually do have a hotel around the corner here in Mexico City that asked guests to leave because they expected to be able to stay all night.

MadisonAvenue · 21/06/2017 18:56

Well I'm intrigued...

Calibration · 21/06/2017 18:57

Come back OP let us know where it is!!

CrownOfPrawns · 21/06/2017 18:59

"Man meets me in street and takes bag" is very weird from the start.
