00:00Salt and pepper!
00:03Four sets of holiday hosts
00:05Ooh, actually it's not too much
00:07Check in to each other's places
00:09Morning!
00:10Welcome to Impossible Motel
00:12And get to grips with one another
00:14It was disgusting
00:15I definitely don't think the place is disgusting
00:19Today, everyone has a belting time
00:21Go on, Dad!
00:23Oh, wow! Punch him out! Punch him out!
00:25As they battle
00:26I'm sure we can deal with that on payment day
00:29Yeah, I'm sure we certainly can
00:31To be named best value for money
00:33I think those comments were just a little bit too nitpicky
00:36There's a lot of game playing going on here
00:44The final visit of the week is to Southport in Lancashire
00:47And to Beach Suites
00:49Owned by Dan Thomas, who's full of fighting talk
00:52I started martial arts when I was 10 years of age
00:55Martial arts isn't just about punching and kicking
00:58It's about the respect, the focus, perseverance and dedication
01:03That's been key to building up this hospitality business
01:07Guests can taekwon go for one of six self-catering suites
01:11For up to £81 a night, based on a two-night minimum stay
01:15And meet a host who believes you get bang for your buck
01:19Having a staycation in the UK can be very expensive
01:23So we've set our prices at a very reasonable amount
01:27We've got great facilities, a great location
01:29And I think that makes an ideal place to visit
01:32And when it comes to the competition, Dan thinks he can wipe out his opponents
01:37Cleanliness is absolutely essential
01:41And we pride ourselves on having the absolute utmost quality in cleanliness
01:47About to arrive are today's first guests
01:51It's been a very long time since we've come to Southport Beach
01:54We do like a seat from Bob Dota
01:56Yeah
01:56Sunset and waves
01:58I'm ready for it
02:01Tiding things over are Uzi Hussain and Bob Z Riaz
02:05Of Optimal Apartments in Bradford, West Yorkshire
02:08Previously over drinks
02:10Cheers
02:11Dan talked tariffs
02:13The price point is lower than each and every one of you's
02:17Is it one of them budget walls?
02:18Would you be offended if it was?
02:20If it was, yes I would, to be honest with you
02:23But today Uzi and Bob Z aren't bulking at going back to basics
02:28With Don's place, Bobby, I'm thinking
02:31Nothing fancy
02:32Nothing wrong, sir
02:33I just hope it's going to be a value for money
02:34Yeah, bring the deal
02:39Nice Victorian terrace
02:40Yeah
02:41Shall we go check it out?
02:42Let's go
02:45Good morning, Dan
02:46Morning guys
02:46Welcome to Beach Suites
02:48You guys will be staying in suite 4
02:50It's £81 per night
02:51Based upon a minimum stay of 2 nights
02:53It is self-catering accommodation
02:55So we do have a communal kitchen
02:57Follow me
02:58Fantastic
03:02Small but you can expect that for £80 per night
03:04Yeah
03:05Let's have a look around
03:07With Uzi and Bob Z up to their eyeballs
03:10Today's next guests are sanding down
03:13I've never been to Southport, I don't think
03:15I used to come to Southport every year
03:17Get your speedos, really
03:18Dan's definitely a speedo guy, isn't he?
03:20Yeah, he's definitely a speedo guy
03:22Wearing with pride water
03:22Oh yeah
03:23Ha ha ha
03:25Smuggling budgies
03:26Are couple Shauna O'Brien and Sam Westworth
03:29Of Wonderland Retreat's Luxury Glamping
03:31In Carnforth, Lancashire
03:33At the start of the week when they hosted
03:35Hi, I'm Shauna
03:37I'm Sam
03:38Uzi and Bob Z dished the dirt
03:41There's a hair there
03:42Well that shouldn't be there
03:43Whoa my dears
03:45That is disgusting Bob
03:47So come feedback
03:49Their cleanliness score did not sparkle
03:51Six
03:52I agree
03:54Wow
03:55Marking us down at six is disgusting
03:58But when Shauna and Sam rolled into theirs
04:01Good morning guys
04:02Morning
04:02The shoe was on the other foot
04:06Some dirt up there isn't there
04:09Oh my gosh
04:10Plaster dust
04:12Laminate floor
04:13Cheap
04:14Leaving the couple keen to walk away
04:16See it's gonna have to be a no
04:18It's not really for us is it?
04:20Tit for tat
04:21Absolutely
04:22Makes me laugh
04:23And today, Shauna and Sam still have one set of hosts in their sights
04:28I really do think Ozzy and Bobby are playing a massive game
04:31Good luck to Dan is all I'm gonna say
04:33Because wow
04:34I wouldn't want to be him today
04:39Good morning guys
04:40Welcome to Beach Suites
04:42You guys will be staying in suite one
04:44It's £81 per night
04:46Please come in
04:47Thank you
04:51Well here we are
04:53Looks
04:54Impressions alright to be fair
04:55Yeah
04:55It looks reasonable doesn't it for the price
04:57With Shauna and Sam counting the cost
05:00Today's final guest is ready to be baited
05:04I'm an unusual fish that goes with the flow
05:06Let's see if Dan manages to reel me in
05:10Quite the catch
05:11Is Nick Davies of Impossible Motel in York, North Yorkshire
05:15When he hosted last time
05:17Morning
05:18Welcome to Impossible Motel
05:19The accommodation initially styled it out
05:24Wow
05:25Amazing
05:26It's impressive Bob
05:28What a cool little pad
05:30But soon all were raising objections
05:32I'm just concerned I'm gonna bang my head as soon as I get out the bath
05:36Look at that
05:37It's all marked
05:38Can't be charging top whack when it needs replacing
05:41Dusty pillows all marks like bits on it
05:44And he wants us to play 310
05:45Is he having us on?
05:47So come feedback everyone voted with their feet
05:51For me it's a no
05:52It's gonna be a big no
05:54It's gonna have to be a no innit?
05:55Yeah
05:56That's a no
05:58Well that's disappointing
06:02But today Nick's letting bygones be bygones
06:05I'm looking forward to seeing everybody today
06:07I hope everyone's in good spirits
06:09And I'm very much looking forward to seeing Dan's special place
06:15Ah, good morning Nick
06:16Morning Dan
06:17Welcome to Beach Suites
06:19You'll be staying in suite number 2
06:20The price is £81 per night
06:22Please come in
06:23Thank you
06:27Ooh, cute
06:29Cozy
06:30Well done Dan
06:31With the host out of the way
06:33The guests can find out if Beach Suites is golden
06:36I like the looking back
06:38That's kind of fun and jolly
06:40Protector on the pillows which is good
06:42They look clean
06:45It's nice and comfy innit?
06:46Yeah
06:47Nice and clean up here
06:49Oh no
06:50Oh my dears
06:51Yeah it's stained
06:52Yeah, yeah it's stained
06:54Mirror
06:55Very clean
06:56Ooh
06:57Oh it's dirty
06:58Got a lot of dust inside it
07:00There actually is a cobweb on that light
07:02I found a stain on the yellow pillows
07:04I've got one on this one as well
07:07Soft pillow
07:08They're all nice and clean
07:10I've found a long piece of hair on the cushion
07:14Dusty up here
07:16Oh no
07:17Oh it's been missed hasn't it?
07:19This door
07:19It's not got the finish plane on it
07:21It's just an undercoat
07:24That's worn out
07:25A bit of a security issue
07:28Cleanliness needs to be top of your priorities
07:31Fingerprint marks on it
07:32It's got a bit like rusty marks inside there
07:34Three hairs on the bed
07:35I think the final check was missing potentially
07:38It was
07:39That mug's for you
07:40Dirty kettle
07:41Dirty cub
07:42There's definitely an issue with dusting in this room
07:45Oh my dears
07:46Time for space here
07:48Sink on top of a toilet
07:49That's disgusting
07:51Room inspections almost over
07:53Nick's buzzing
07:55And today is going to be a
07:58Zzzz beautiful day
08:00Sean and Sam are having a honk
08:03Just a bit funky smelling it
08:05Smells like mould
08:06And Uzi and Bobzi aren't sitting comfortably
08:10I just hope you don't slide off the toilet seat
08:20Southport was the birthplace of comedian Lee Mack back in 1968
08:24And today host Dan hopes his guests will have their wits about them during a martial arts session at the
08:31school he owns
08:32I'm looking forward to a scrap with Dan
08:33Are you?
08:34Yeah?
08:35I reckon I'll do him
08:37With everyone kitted up
08:40Host turned instructor Dan is ready to kick things off
08:45Go on Dan
08:46Oh wow
08:46Oh yeah
08:47Punch him out
08:48Punch him out
08:49So guys welcome to my martial arts academy
08:51This is what I do
08:52This is what I love to do
08:53I used to play for the Irish national team
08:55So you'll have no problem chucking people out of your accommodation then
09:00No problems whatsoever
09:02First up Dan puts the boys through their paces
09:06Nice high knee
09:07Body up straight
09:08And we're going to kick out
09:09And we're going to show
09:10Hiya
09:11One
09:11Yeah
09:12Two
09:13Yeah
09:15Three
09:15Yeah
09:17Go on Nick
09:17Yeah
09:20Good shout
09:21One
09:22Yeah
09:22You look like you're about to fall over are you?
09:25I know
09:25What a weak knee
09:27You could do this Shana couldn't you?
09:28No
09:28I'm saving my fight for payment day
09:30Ooh
09:34With Sam and Shana and us guys it's a competition some people can take it personal but we as business
09:41people
09:42Professionals
09:42And professionals will always be very fair
09:45Payment day is going to be a juicy one I can't wait
09:50Next the host has another trick to make his class a hit
09:54Anna go
09:55Yes
09:55Help
09:56Anna go
09:57Nice
09:57Help
09:58But it seems Nick's been pummeled by previous feedback
10:02It's not impossible to love our place
10:06It's definitely not impossible
10:08The feedback I left Nick wasn't particularly positive feedback
10:12I just hope that he comes into my accommodation with the view of being fair and ideally positive
10:18Being back around everybody after feedback I think it was pretty brutal
10:22But I'm definitely looking forward to getting a few answers obviously
10:26Now it's time to see who's Natty with the nunchucks
10:29We're going to try and do a figure of eight in front of us
10:34And Dan is having a ball
10:37Oh he got it
10:39Well done
10:40Okay you ready Sam?
10:44Well done
10:45Well done
10:46Well done
10:46Well done
10:47Shona
10:47Shona
10:48Shona
10:49Shona
10:50Oh yeah
10:52It's a six
10:53That was the best one
10:55Dan is a great host
10:56He's a really nice guy
10:57He's obviously very passionate about what he does
11:00And it showed in there didn't it
11:01Yeah definitely
11:01And with the afternoon coming to a close
11:04Help!
11:05Whoa!
11:06Dan hopes he's avoided a knockout blow
11:10Today's going really well
11:11Let's hope that nobody gives me that knockout punch when I receive my feedback
11:22The final visit of the week is to Southport in Lancashire where host Dan has invited his guests to grab
11:29a drink in the local
11:31Cheers guys
11:32Cheers Dan
11:33Cheers
11:33Cheers
11:35Cheers
11:35Cheers
11:36And with glasses clinked Nick wants to talk trade
11:40How long have you had the accommodation we're staying in?
11:43About a year and a bit
11:45And is it the first one or do you have others?
11:49So we have large three storey houses, luxury accommodation, we have apartments and then we have the suites
11:56So it's something for everybody
11:57And we accommodate for just under a hundred guests coming to the area
12:01Right, oh well
12:02When you say we, is it a family business or?
12:05It's the royal we, yes myself
12:08Are you the mayor of Southport?
12:10No absolutely not
12:11No okay just checking
12:16Tonight we've got to know Dan more
12:18He seems to have a big property portfolio doesn't he?
12:21Yeah but there is things that he does need to work on like his cloneliness
12:26Business brushed up
12:27Next chat turns to A-list encounters
12:31Dan, do you have any celebrity stories?
12:33I once had dinner with Arnold Schwarzenegger
12:38Wow
12:40How did that come about?
12:41It was a charity auction that we won
12:45As you're driving up, you're thinking to yourself, he's just an ordinary man
12:48But then when you get there it's like, it's Terminator
12:52I had dinner with Terminator
12:53Nice guy
12:54Yeah he was really cool, that was a great experience
12:57So what did Arnold Schwarzenegger have dinner?
12:59It was a full lamb leg
13:01Full lamb leg is big
13:06He's still a big lad, yeah
13:07I'd start to him to have a meal with the big bun
13:11I can imagine Dan being best mates with someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger to be honest
13:16Next, Bob Z's after Total Recall about collateral damage from guests who give a raw deal
13:24So Dan, how do you deal with tricky customers?
13:27Ultimately, I think it's important to listen to your customers
13:30I agree with you Dan, however some customers just do try it out
13:34You do get people that try and just pick faults
13:37There is people out there that are like that, aren't they?
13:40Yeah, that's right
13:41Just like a six
13:43Just like a five
13:45I'm sure we can deal with that on payment day
13:48Yeah, I'm sure we certainly can
13:50Bring your nunchucks with you as well
13:53I'll borrow them
13:57Some daggers flying across the room, shall we say
14:00Feathers are definitely being roughawed
14:02So I reckon payment day, it's going to be fireworks
14:07Drink's done, it's back to the apartment
14:10Where Shauna's following her nose
14:12I thought at first it was just the bathroom
14:14But the whole room absolutely stinks of damp
14:17Let's get some shut-eye
14:26It's a new morning in Southport
14:28And the guests are ready to face the day
14:31How do you sleep?
14:33I slept pretty good, the bed was comfy once we got to sleep
14:36I know, the smell of damp in here is really, really bad
14:40Over in his room, some facilities don't wash for Nick
14:44I think Dan's missed the trick in the bathroom
14:47Could have been re-engineered better with a bit of a splash back
14:50A few more shelves and a full-size sink
14:54Breakfast at Beach Suites is a self-catering affair
14:57And while Uzi and Bobsy and Shauna and Sam
15:00Are grabbing a bite from a local cafe
15:02Nick's opted for the DIY option
15:05Using the apartment's shared kitchen
15:08I have no concerns about breakfast this morning
15:10I think, very confident that they'll have everything they need
15:13In our communal kitchen
15:14But before cooking commences, Nick susses the set-up
15:18Clean pots
15:20Everything brand spanking new by the look
15:23Ooh, a little bit of disco light here
15:25Nice
15:26Very clean, well thought out kitchen
15:28Fair play to him
15:31Appliance is approved
15:32Come on, you big bit of bacon
15:34Sizzle away
15:35Nick cracks on
15:37And with the other guests having sourced their scran
15:40Yeah, looking forward to this to be honest with you
15:42I am
15:43Grubs up
15:44Magnetico
15:45Et voila
15:47Good morning Nick
15:48Oh, morning Bobsy, morning Oz
15:49Good morning Nick
15:51And it's time to tuck in
15:58This is nice
15:58The food's on point
16:00Yeah, it's good
16:01Quite handy to have like other food places around where you can order food in from
16:05I wish I went for Nick's cooked breakfast to be fair
16:08Yours looks better than all of ours
16:09Well done chef
16:12Thank you very much
16:13Yeah
16:14We enjoyed that space just to have our breakfast so yeah, I think it's a plus point
16:21Next, Uzi queries everyone's quarters
16:24How was your stay last night?
16:26The main thing for me was the smell of dam
16:28Really?
16:29Yeah, if it wasn't for dam being such a nice guy then I would not have stopped him last night
16:34Regardless of a budget, you still need to have the standard necessities
16:38So can I ask, was your room clean enough?
16:41Not really, it was thick with dust
16:43Even at this price point, it should be clean enough
16:46Even my side lights were
16:48That's visible, Mike
16:49Very visible, yes
16:51I think you can always find something if you go searching, but we never had to search for that, did
16:55we?
16:56So Sam, do you think it's Wally for money?
16:58We'll find out on payment day
17:02Well it's a shame because Dan is such a nice guy but I think he has taken his eye off
17:06the ball with cleanliness definitely
17:07Dan has got multiple obviously businesses and maybe he's not putting that full attention into this place
17:15Plates polished off, the guests head back to their rooms to complete their anonymous feedback forms
17:20Let's go for it
17:23How was your host at Beach Sweets?
17:26The amazing guy, Dan Padan
17:28Yeah, I agree
17:29How clean was Beach Sweets?
17:34Hairs on bed
17:37Overall clean
17:39Nine
17:41There was quite a bit of stains on the pillows and also the cushions
17:45There was a long hair, dusty lights on the bedside
17:48The cup was dirty and also the kettle
17:51What was scoring?
17:52Five
17:53I agree
17:54There was a strong smell of damp, wasn't there?
17:57There was a lot of cobwebs and we did find quite a lot of dust
17:59I think it's allowed to be a four
18:01How were the facilities?
18:03Unfinished door paint, sticky door latch, loose toilet seat, sink on toilet, compact bathroom
18:10Unfortunately it's going to have to be a five
18:11I agree
18:12Cozy, charming, shower room, improvement needed and that would be a nine
18:22How did you sleep?
18:23Bed was comfy, wasn't it?
18:24Yeah
18:25You just, there was that smell of damp
18:27I think a nine
18:29How was breakfast?
18:32Great space, lovely breakfast would be a ten
18:37Good self-catering setup
18:38What would be scoring?
18:39A ten
18:40Would you stay here again?
18:43Yes
18:45Because of the damp, so no one for it, shouldn't they?
18:48I think there's room for improvement, so it's going to be enough
18:50I agree
18:53Now the guests must pay what they think their stay was worth
18:57Do we agree on this, Bob?
18:58Yes
18:59The cash will be kept secret until the end of the competition
19:02But for now, Dan can discover if Beach Sweets is a surefire hit
19:08Let's hope they're being kind
19:11How clean was Beach Sweets?
19:13I got a nine, I was hoping for a ten
19:15Hair's on bed
19:16Very surprised, I did check the place before everybody arrived
19:19Overall clean, good
19:21How were the facilities?
19:23Another nine
19:24Nine is still a good score
19:26Cozy, charming
19:27Well that's nice, isn't it?
19:29Shower room, improvement needed
19:31Well I can't improve it if I don't know what to improve
19:34How was breakfast?
19:36Got a ten, brilliant
19:37Great space, lovely breakfast, and made up the enjoys their breakfast
19:41Thank you, I had a lovely stay
19:43My pleasure, take care
19:45Let's see if they're coming back
19:47Would you stay here again?
19:49Got a big fat yes
19:50Good on them
19:52On to the next one
19:54How was your host at Beach Sweets?
19:57A ten
19:57That's really good, I'm pleased with that
19:59Amazing guy, I'm happy with that
20:01How clean was Beach Sweets?
20:03A four, that's shocking really
20:05Strong, damp smell
20:07I'm surprised, never had that feedback before
20:09That's very disappointing
20:11Cold webs and thick dust
20:13I don't believe that at all
20:14I'm shocked
20:15How did you sleep?
20:16Scored a nine
20:17I'm okay with a nine
20:20Comfy bed, good
20:21Smell of damp
20:22Again, disappointing
20:23We're off now, Dan
20:24Have a great day and take care
20:26Thank you
20:26Cheers
20:28Let's see
20:28Would you stay here again?
20:31No
20:32I'm disappointed with that
20:34So let's see what the last ones have to say
20:36How clean was Beach Sweets?
20:39Five
20:40Oh dear, that's shocking
20:43Stains on pillow and cushions
20:45Right, okay
20:46If I've missed them, they've been so tiny
20:48That you would have had to go searching for them
20:51Long hair, well that surprises me
20:53Dusty lights, again I'm surprised
20:56Dirty cup, the cups were all spotless
20:59Dirty inside kettle, absolutely not
21:01How were their facilities?
21:03Just go to five, that's disappointing
21:06Unfinished door paint, that's a shame
21:09Sticky door latch
21:10Well I know that's Ozzy and Bobsy's room
21:12Because the door latch is sticking a little
21:14Loose toilet seat, I'm pleased they've brought it to my attention
21:17Sink on toilet, it is a small space
21:20We've done the best we can with what we've got
21:23Compact bathroom, it is compact
21:25And I think the price point reflects that
21:27How was breakfast?
21:29Scored a ten
21:30Brilliant
21:30Good self-catering set up
21:32Good, I'm pleased
21:33Thank you very much for the stay
21:34My pleasure
21:35And have a great day
21:36See you soon
21:37Thank you, bye
21:39I don't think they will come back
21:40Let's find out
21:41Would you stay here again?
21:43No
21:46Again, disappointed
21:47I think those comments were just a little bit too nitpicky
21:51And there's a lot of game playing going on here
21:53I was looking forward to receiving some constructive, fair feedback
21:57Doesn't look like I've received that
21:59Looking forward to answers, come payment day
22:03Hospitality's hottest competition
22:05Is about to hit this week's crescendo
22:07So I have my suit of armour on
22:10As bills are paid
22:11And I'm disappointed
22:13In both of you
22:15And scores are settled
22:16That's insulting
22:18That's not insulting, I'll tell you
22:19No I'm insulted, so it is insulting
22:21Okay, you've insulted but you've signed up to a competition
22:23I think there's a lot more shocks to come
