| 0:00.0 | Hi, how are you? Before we start, this is a warning. This podcast contains three things that every listener needs to know about. It contains strong language, adult themes and a thick Scottish accent. It might not be suitable for everyone. |
| 0:25.4 | Do not stay here. Stay anywhere else you can, but avoid this shithole. It's noisy, it's dirty, |
| 0:42.1 | it's creepy, and they only have waffles for breakfast. |
| 0:54.0 | The rooms feel strange. Yeah, that's right. They feel strange. There was a peephole in the shower room. A fucking peephole. What's that about? |

| 2:42.9 | because of the many true crime stories |
| 2:47.1 | and the many weird things that have happened in this hotel. So the intro text that I was |
| 2:54.8 | reading there was actually a trip advisor review from a guy who stayed there only last year. He was |
| 3:03.3 | quite upset about the fact that it was only waffles for breakfast but i think what he was more |
