Cheap hotel in town?

[manc-mag 1]

Couldn't recommend one as I haven't stayed in one but if you're really struggling what about the Swallow in Gateshead. Not the best location to say the least but a taxi to the Quayside/Town would be cheap as chips (about a mile). No idea what it's like though.

That's were I used to work, it's a shithole of a hotel but relativley cheap none the less.

 

Oh I had some good times in there! With staff, with guests, it all went off on the night shift. Something about hotels that makes the most prudish lasses turn into cock-devouring whores!

I was staff so I wasn't paying for nowt, a few lads off stag parties got hookers in and I used to get a fiver a time of their pim for turning a blind eye. I told a geezer whose lass wanted to fuck in the jucuzzi in the leisure club that I'd let him in for £200. He paid and I watched them from a secret hideaway!

Double negative meaning you were paying for it. Suprised the wages of a bell boy were enough, mind I guess hoes in Gateshead are pretty cheap.

 

As an aside, is that the hotel where Gazza's mate died?

Bell-end boy as I liked to be called. Used to say it dead quick to guests, "I'll get one of the bell-end boys to come and collect your luggage". No-one ever sussed!

 

Gazza's mate died at the Marriot next to the Metro Centre. They were all banned from our hotel after some party where apparently Gazza was gonna buy the hotel and stromed into the general managers office at 2 in the morning to make her an offer, pissed off she wasn't there to recieve his offer he pissed all over her desk and chair! Class, wish I was there for that.

Should have put that in his autobiography - might have shifted a few copies.

Apparently the same night Darren Peacock (who had a incredible ability for downing pints so I'm told) went through 27 pints in 4 hours and smashed up the function room in a long haired lash out! According to the Bar Manager he stood at the bar downing pint after pint.
