This sounds horrific...and the cost! This is not the first account like this that I've read either.

it's not much more expensive per night than (say) a travel lodge, and one presumes it's in a premiuim close to the airport site.
If she cant afford to lose all the money she says she's losing, why go in the first place? knowing that things could change.
people just like moaning

the point of the vaccine is that we can get back to normal. Politicians are terrified of being accused of not reacting. Thus they react to any crackpot with an agenda. Deaths and hospital admissions have been falling for weeks, no of cases are irrelevant, we should stop most of the testing. Omicron is barely noticeable for most. Let's get our lives back pronto.
dont get me wrong, i would no doubt be moaning too if it was me (as i said, people like moaning, myself included) but to portray it as a complete surprise is crazy. firstly, it's her first day after 24 frs of travelling from a lovely time in a hot country with her family, and she's alone in a hotel in birmingham - that would try the patience of a saint. Secondly, she makes it sound like a complete surprise that Britain would be colder than SA
Incompetence personified. The sheer stupidity boggles the mind. Disorder and counter productive, volte-face and indifferent ignorance are terms so aptly applied to this sham of a government. Fifty years from now, people will not believe that such a shameful sackful of selfish self serving politicians were allowed to pretend to run our nation.
ps gness, i disagree she's willing to pay without "moaning" - that's what the whole piece is - moaning. She even says "For this, I paid £2,285"
last summer or it might have been last year there was a man wanging on about how he had to pay for hotel quarantine for his 11 year old (i think) son who'd gone to visit his mum in the half term in a red list country then had to quarantine (surprise surprise) all because they hant checked!

You are right TTT. However the fault lies with us for blaming the Government for everthing initially and its now causing over reaction. They can't win! The Covid numbers mean nothing any more and yet there are those who religiously quote them.
However, I agree with Bednobs. It would be daft to make travel arrangements unless they are vital unless you are prepared for things to change at any time and you have more money than sense.

An acquaintance of mine may be in a similar situation. She's gone to SA every November for years...I think they used to own a house there. Didn't go last year, and back in September when they booked, there was no hint of this to come.
Are Travelodge hotels really 200+ per night? Aren't thry supposed to be clean, comfortable but basic? This sounds decidedly below acceptable. December and no heat? What of those travelling with children? Is the charge per room...person? What happens if you haven't got 2,000 in the bank...maybe more than the holiday cost? Just curious here.
Would anyone here willingly pay that much for substandard accommodation?
