Welcome to our Tangerine Hotels blog which is designed to give you a flavour of the things we experience on a day to day basis. Some amusing, some frustrating and some downright incredible. 

We know what you’re thinking…….t’s a soap opera in the making…. It’s a bit more lively than the Crossroads motel here at Tangerine Hotels. We will also be posting offers, announcements and the like to keep you updated.

THE LOT OF A NIGHT MANAGER

Our weekend night manager has just arrived for the weekend with a tale of woe from last weekend.....
Early hours of last Sunday morning, a man and woman get chatting in the hotel bar. They ended up going back to his room. After some time, she left his room and collapsed drunk in the corridor. Our night manager was informed by other guests that she had passed out in the corridor. He woke her her up to ask her to leave the hotel. She asked why she was being thrown out of a hotel as she was a paying guest. Being a guest in someone else’s room isn’t a paying guest. Her response? “I have my own room. My husband and I are staying on the next floor down!”

Her husband had no idea where she was while she was passed out after being in a room with a bloke she met that night in the bar!

Bet that was an interesting conversation over breakfast!

IT'S NOT EASY.......

Last weekend was eventful as always. We had a couple with young child in their room, whose room had that distinctive aroma when they left. The smell that is unmistakable and sticks in your throat. No.....not that smell. It was the smell of weed. Nice when your child is in the room. Not..

We then had the drunken individual who swore blind that he had booked breakfast and rambled on and on about it and is still rambling on about it in his review.
Even when he was shown his booking which stated that he had booked room only without breakfast, he still struggled to comprehend.

'I have never not booked breakfast in my life. Why would I do that?'

Our owner's reply was priceless...
'That's a question you need to ask yourself'
'Time for bed I think'

YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A LAUGH!

Lady and child entered the bar in their dressing gowns and towels under their arms. Also two inflatable arm bands and inflatable dinosaur
She Asked me where the pool was. I thought they were joking so I directed them to the non-existent roof terrace pool.
She asked for directions to it and it was only then I realised she was serious .
I explained we don't have a swimming pool.
She was annoyed saying it was misleading advertising, I said we don’t advertise having a pool. Disagreeing, she went to her phone and read out some description of our facilities from our website.
Two pool ….
I looked at her phone and the next line read. ‘Tables ‘
I pointed to our newly covered tangerine pool table and explained that there’s another pool table in our sister hotel across the road !

BLACKPOOL....YOU SAY....BLACKPOOL?

 Call from a lovely lady Friday lunchtime.

Hello, Sandringham Court how can I help?
Hi, we are booked in for this weekend, I just wanted to let you know that we won't be there until 6.30pm
That's no problem at all. See you later. Bye.
Thinking: Strange I can't see that booking name on our system, she must have booked under another name.

Call from the same lovely lady at 5.20pm

Hiya, I spoke to you earlier, we are driving and just wanted to put your post code into our satnav.
No problem, it's FY1 4DG
FY1....that's not right.
Er yes, it's FY1 4DG
FY1? But that's Blackpool
Yes that's right...The Sandringham Court in Blackpool
But we're not going to Blackpool, we are going to the Lakes
Oh OK....
Cue laughter from the car.
Another voice: Oh No, that's where we stayed last time we went away, you've rung the wrong number……twice!
More laughter..... Sorry!
OK ladies, have a safe journey to the Lakes. Bye.
