Day 254, Year 3 - Shining Stripes

This is the corridor outside my hotel in Blackpool a few weeks ago. The hotel was lovely but I couldn't help but think of the hotel room in the Shining when I saw this even though they two decors are quite different. I think i'm just not a fan of stripes like this. I think whenever you see a hotel corridor that's a bit over the top the movie reference jumps out.
For me at least :)

3 good things:

1 - Nice train journey up to Blackpool
2 - Getting a cheap jacket which will do for the winter
3 - Photoshop tutorials on the laptop that evening
Wow which hotel was this.....I never thought Blackpool woukd sport such jazzy carpets! Not a good sight when you ho down to breakfast first thing in the morning!

@happypat Pat it's the Heron's Reach Village hotel. It's a nice one too.
The Village chain tend to be quite good.

@stevecameras Oh yes I have heard of that place....looks good for Blackpool!

@happypat It seemed very popular.
We all had a feeling that a few locals were using it as a place to star their weekend celebrations before heading into Blackpool centre, and not just hotel residents or function people.

@sparkle It's the Village Hotel in Blackpool. Maybe you stayed there or one of the other Village hotels?
I think the decor is similar in each as I have stayed about 3 or 4 now.
It's a bit crazy this but I like it :)
