Privacy NoticeA hotel critic, known for his discount hotel reviews, was left stunned after booking a room for just £12.80 per night in the North West. Zac Jones, who has a large following on TikTok as @zacjonesliverpool, shared his experience at a hotel in Blackpool, where he stayed in a budget-friendly room. Upon entering the room, Zac was surrounded by retro decor, including blue patterned carpeting and basic amenities such as a kettle, chest of drawers, and a wall-mounted TV. “Vintage,” he exclaimed in the footage. “We have a vintage room tonight.” Zac then focused on the low-set double bed with a drab brown duvet set, commenting: “A bit dirty, but £12.80 this is not bad is it? You’ve even got a television, a kettle, tea and coffee.”

He then panned to the window, revealing a less-than-scenic view dominated by adjacent buildings, lacking a picturesque seaside panorama, reports the Mirror. Using a UV light to uncover any hidden filth, he then inspected the mattress for cleanliness. “Not a terrible first impression,” he considered. “You know what, for £12.80 a night I’m impressed,” Zac admitted with a resigned tone. As he checked out the en-suite bathroom, which initially looked immaculate, a more thorough look uncovered some dirt around the shower sealant. He gave the mirror a quick once-over before critiquing the toilet seat, remarking: “I’ve seen worse but there are a couple of hairs.” Zac wrapped up his tour by pointing out a touch of mould near the window and noticing some faux flowers, yet he stayed positive, concluding: “But for £12.80? I’m taking this all day.” Online, viewers were largely in agreement that Zac had snagged a steal after seeing the video. One person shared Zac’s view, posting: “For £12.80 that is a serious bargain.” Sign up to OK!’s daily newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

Another TikTok user wondered: “How anyone can complain for that price? You get what you pay for I guess.” Meanwhile, a third chimed in, “Honestly as long as there’s no bed bugs and the bedding was washed I’d be fine with that.” And another added their two cents, saying: “Cheaper than a hostel. it’s fantastic for that price. I’ve slept in worse and paid 10x.” On a different note, one commenter did the maths, humorously suggesting it would be cheaper to live there permanently instead of paying rent for a private place. Their breakdown went like this: “You could pay 358.40 every month to live here, for someone who is homeless say, this would be an absolute saving grace! Warm bed, kettle, tv etc.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK! MagazineFacebookTwitterCommentMore OnTravel
