Abrupt end to seaside stay as grim discovery in hotel bathroom sees family ordered home
drug addict's needle" in a hotel bathroom - only for staff to accuse him of planting it there when he complained. Shane Wilkinson, 33, booked a last-minute break with his Karen Gillott, 43, and their children Skyler Doyle, 6, and Grayson Doyle, 3, at The Avari Hotel, Blackpool on Booking.com and checked in to their room on February 11.But to the 33-year-old's horror, he claims his tot found the uncapped needle behind the toilet in the en-suite bathroom, leaving them worried he could have pricked himself with it.The fuming dad confronted staff about the alleged discovery but he claims he was then told to leave the hotel after being refunded £35 of his £54 booking and accused of the needle being his.Shane, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said: "It was a spur of the moment thing on Friday night to book a night away."Obviously if it was planned I would've looked into the hotel more but I literally finished work, got changed and we packed the car and went."For the price, we paid I knew it wasn't going to be cracking but I didn't think it was going to be that bad until we got there."My son went to the toilet and found it [the needle] - he came out holding it saying 'look mummy and daddy, look what I've found.' I took it off him and asked him where he found it and he said behind the toilet in the bathroom."The cover was off but luckily I checked him over and he didn't prick himself.
