The shower was unclean and in the video there was a ball of hair inside it as well. The floor underneath the bathmat in the shower was also unclean with black dots and marks on the floor.

Mrs Myers said: “I am lucky I can pick up my bag now and walk home. Some families will save up all year to go somewhere like this and if you did get a room like this it would ruin your holiday.”

The Midway hotel was approached for comment.
