BOYCOTT THE HOLIDAY INN FOR TURNING AWAY 2 HOMELESS MEN IN -6°C WEATHER. The Holiday Inn Express Oxford Road in Manchester are an absolute disgrace! A charity worker paid for the rooms and they turned them away. On Monday, January 5, 2026, the Holiday Inn Express on Oxford Road in Manchester faced intense public backlash and boycott calls after turning away two homeless men during a severe cold snap. Key Details of the Incident. The Refusal: Despite having pre-booked and paid-for rooms, the two men were denied entry. A staff member was filmed telling them, "I know you're from the street and the hotel doesn't allow it," citing "company policy". The Context: Temperatures in Manchester had dropped to -6°C (21.2°F) that night, and an amber cold weather health alert was in effect. The Booking: Amanda Thompson, a volunteer for the homeless charity Two Brews, had paid for the rooms (approximately £200 total, including a damage deposit) using donations. Outcome for the Men: After being refused by the Holiday Inn Express, the men were successfully checked into a Travelodge in Moss Side, which accepted the charity's booking. Response and Apology. Following the spread of the video on social media and subsequent media coverage on January 8, 2026, the hotel issued a formal apology: Policy Violation: A spokesperson for the Holiday Inn Express Manchester CC – Oxford Road stated the incident was "not in keeping with our policy of welcoming all". Internal Action: The hotel acknowledged the situation should have been handled differently and stated they are "taking steps internally to strengthen our training".
