A couple's romantic weekend was ruined after forking out £124 for an "executive jacuzzi" hotel room that they claim turned to be filthy and covered in mould.
David Goodall, 41, was meeting his 29-year-old girlfriend Maud in Liverpool for the weekend who he had not seen her for over four months.
The couple have been maintaining a long-distance relationship with Maud living in the French Alps and David residing in Northumberland as he helps run his family's letting business.
But the couple say they were left disgusted when they arrived at The Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool city centre on Sunday, June 30, the Liverpool Echo .
David forked out £124 for an "executive double room with jacuzzi bath" for with an evening meal and breakfast added on,
But the couple claim they found the room covered in "cobwebs and mould" with stains on the carpets and walls.
They were further appalled after claiming to have discovered the windows were "filthy" and that the bathroom was covered in a stomach-churning mould.
Speaking to the, David said: "I turned around and headed back to the reception, my partner said she would meet me there.
"I waited until no one was around and spoke quietly to the nice lady behind the reception desk to inform her of what we had just found in our room.
"She apologised and gave me keys to look at a different room. My partner arrived about five minutes later after getting lost and stumbling into the kitchen – she laughingly told me there was no way she was eating in the hotel after passing via the kitchen.
"We visited a smaller room in a similar state of disrepair, so went back down to reception, got given yet another set of keys and found another smaller room, even filthier than the first.
"Back to the reception and the lovely lady behind the desk told me there were no other rooms available so I asked to see the manager."
David says he was only offered a 10% discount by a duty manager who he claims refused to give him a full refund.
This meant that they were forced to stay in the filthy room overnight – and say they slept in bed "fully clothed".
