4 of 11
The Artist Residence can be found on one of Penzance's prettiest streets - Chapel Street, which lies on a leyline credited with giving this particular part of Penzance a magical ambience. The hotel's 11 rooms are all unique and have been designed by local artists. It's also a great place to soak up the town's history while enjoying some liquid refreshment. Penzance's oldest pub, the Turk's Head, is just two minutes walk away. Within the pub, there's a hatch which leads to a smuggling tunnel previously used by pirates.
Rate: From £60 for a double room, www.arthotelcornwall.co.uk

My wife and I stayed in a boutique hotel in Christchurch New Zealand a couple of years ago. The room was very high tech., including a television that not only operated as the usual alarm, but could be switched to log fire mode. The lighting in the room could be altered for intensity and would change colour too, as would the bathroom lights. Even the underside of the bed was lit up - no idea why. The only downside was that the bedroom window was tiny.I was discussing this with my wife in the lift when a Japanese gentleman said "Your room has a window??" His hadn't!

Its not the poor people that go to these budget hotels, its just the normal for anyone boasting about how cheap they got something. Its really a cover story to justify to your partner why you booked it in the first place, as there is always one penny pincher in any great relationship but, you will have to ask someone thats rich, as its different, apparently.

No way as cheap brings in the wrong type of people, that will just mistreat anything out of habit, because it is cheap they will not have the funding to have good quality security...So downhill it will go. It's nothing to do with class but sheer ignorance of people these days. Ibis hotels in Europe are of a very good standard and cheap, the Ibis I have used in the UK are more likely to be really poor!!
