These were people who had prior bookings, but had received no notification from the hotel, I guess the sacked staff were a bit annoyed so didn't bother?

A Pakistani man, two sets of Chinese couples and a young man on his own I am sure there were many more, the young man said he has paid 80.00 so its wasn't exactly expensive for Canary Wharf


Can you imagine landing after a long flight, making your way to your hotel in the evening and not even getting an explanation, the doors were locked and the people inside had probably no clue what to say
