Gay couple 'denied double room'

A gay couple from Manchester say a hotel receptionist refused to let them stay in a double room and insisted they take a room with single beds.

Nick Hurley claims he and his partner were treated in a homophobic manner by staff at the Thistle Hotel Barbican in London. A spokesman for the hotel has apologised and says they are investigating. But Mr Hurley says in today's society the way they were treated is completely unacceptable.
