A father was left stunned after checking into his Travelodge hotel room with his young son only to find a rolled up banknote and lines of white powder.
Jamie Spencer, from west London, was booked to stay at the Travelodge in Chichester, and walked into the room with his eight-year-old to find the unknown substance just before Christmas.
Mr Spencer claims the room was completely clean apart from the two white lines on the table and the rolled banknote.
