Charity worker describes incident at Manchester hotel as disgusting and ‘complete discrimination on appearance’
Two homeless men were turned away from a Holiday Inn in sub-zero temperatures despite their booking already being paid for, a charity has said.
The hotel in Manchester city centre refused to accommodate the men and staff members apparently told them: “I know that you’re from the street and the hotel doesn’t allow it.”
Temperatures fell to -6C overnight on Monday, when the homeless charity, Two Brews, booked two rooms for the men at the Holiday Inn on Oxford Road.
An amber cold weather health alert was in place across the country at the time, with the UK Health Security Agency warning of the risk of increased deaths.
