The Hotel Inspector returns to Channel 5 on Thursday, 30 May 2024, at 9:00 pm, with an episode titled “Westward Ho! Revisit.” Alex Polizzi revisits a hotel in Westward Ho! that she previously helped turn around.
In this episode, Alex Polizzi returns to the Kent coast to check in on the Westward Ho! hotel, located in Folkestone. Five years ago, she came to the aid of hotelier Jon, who was facing negative reviews and declining profits, threatening the survival of his budget hotel. With over two million vehicles passing through Folkestone each year, the potential for a successful hotel business is significant.
Alex’s previous intervention involved inspiring managers Loyde and Danielle to improve the hotel’s reputation. Now, Jon has expanded his portfolio, acquiring two additional hotels. Alex assesses Jon’s newest venture and evaluates whether the seaside hotel has managed to turn its fortunes around.
“Westward Ho! Revisit” highlights both the challenges and opportunities faced by budget hotels in popular travel destinations.
The Hotel Inspector has been offering valuable insights and makeovers to hotels across Britain since 2005. With Alex Polizzi at the helm, the show provides an engaging blend of business advice and hospitality transformation.
