A lad checked into the UK's cheapest hotel for a measly £16-a-night - and reckons he'd happily return for another stay.
George Redfern, 21, bunked down at Coco Beach Hotel in Blackpool on June 14 this year and forked out just £16.20 for the night.
Despite its two-star rating on Booking.com, George was chuffed to find that the digs weren't half bad, dubbing it the bargain of Britain.

The Wirral-based content creator shared: "It surprised me how clean it was for a hotel that cheap, and I probably would stay there again."
He even gave his own rating, saying: "If I was to give a rating it would probably be a three and a half out of five."
His reasons?
"Probably because the space of the room and the shower system", George added.
George had been on the hunt for the UK's cheapest hotel when he stumbled upon Coco Beach Hotel.

Upon arrival, he mused: "I knew a bit of what I looked like, and I knew it was going to be a run down hotel. I knew it wasn't going to be the nicest."
Getting in proved a bit of a mission as he explained: "It took about five minutes to get into the hotel because the landlord's phone was broken."
Luckily, a good Samaritan from a neighbouring hotel recognised the landlord and helped sort it out.

Once in his room, George noted it was generally spick and span but spotted some dubious marks on the curtains.
He remarked: "For the price it was a clean, but there was marks on the curtains, and I noticed that quite early."
"It was spray on the wall - it will be probably put other people off.
"I got free towel, coffee facilities. There wasn't much room in the room itself. The bed was clean, and the floor was clean but the shower didn't get too hot."
