Smelly loos strike a bum note
Malfunctioning toilet roll dispensers, smelly loos and taps that spray you in embarrassing places are the top three lavatorial pet hates of conference organisers.
Meetings agency Banks Sadler also found nearly two-thirds [62%] of events planners felt the quality of loos was an important factor in deciding whether to switch from one venue to another.
Other failings guaranteed to cause toilet tantrums included blocked bowls, no loo rolls, cigarette burn marks, and lack of soap.
The five venues voted as having the most impressive toilets were the Mandarin Hyde Park hotel, London, the Post House, Guildford, Surrey, the Gatwick Hilton, Crabwall Manor hotel, Cheshire and the Old Course hotel in St Andrews.
