London, Jan 6 : Budget hotels in the UK have been found to be contaminated with blood, mould, urine and even faeces, an investigation has revealed.
In fact, the "most disturbing" discovery was made in a room at the Ibis hotel on Charles Street in Manchester-there the mattress was so badly soiled that the cover had started to fray and mould had begun to grow.
The investigation by the consumer group `Which?', during stays at the UK''s five most visited budget hotel chains, also found food debris and stray fingernails lying on the floor, and duvets with suspected blood stains.
The five hotel chains investigated were -Travelodge, Premier Inn, Jurys Inn, Ibis and Comfort Inn.
