A former manager said: 'The guy had a whole set-up, a camera on a tripod at the end of the bed, sex toys everywhere, it was pretty obvious what was happening.
'The couple were running an illegal porn business from the hotel.
'The man was naked with just a towel around him when he answered the door. She was wearing sexy lingerie, lying on the bed.
'There was a video camera set up on a tripod and the room was littered with sex toys and handcuffs. He told us he was filming it to put on OnlyFans.'

The scandal was among a catalogue of abuses of the public-funded system discovered by the manager, who worked for contractors Serco until August last year.
The romp happened at the 18th-century Metropole Hotel in Blackpool which has housed hundreds of migrants since 2021.
It is the only hotel on the shoreline side of the promenade and just an eight-minute walk from the famous Tower Ballroom where the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing films an annual episode.
The man responsible for making the sex video, which took place in summer last year, was later moved to another site. It appeared to be his only punishment.

The whistle-blower, who spoke out to highlight the widespread abuse of the asylum system, said: 'Many of these people are supposed to be coming here with no funds but in one case a family turned up with Louis Vuitton luggage.
'They had flown into the UK and claimed asylum at passport control. The luggage looked genuine.'
At another Serco-managed hotel in the North West of England, managers discovered that an asylum seeker was putting videos on TikTok to his 40,000 followers boasting about the free board and lodging he was enjoying.
The source said: 'Other migrants would complain about him because he'd film videos in the common areas to post on his TikTok channel. He had more than 40,000 followers and would boast how he was getting everything for free.'
He revealed that at another location a migrant was caught trying to sell a stolen hotel vacuum cleaner at a local shop.
And he said others regularly sneak out to work illegally in kebab shops, barbers, car washes and for food delivery services such as Deliveroo and Just Eat, pocketing hundreds of pounds in cash — which they are not allowed to do.
'Wealthy' migrants
He also said staff employed by Serco — one of the Home Office contractors — were instructed to look for tell-tale 'signs of wealth' among migrants.
He said: 'We'd carry out room inspections and look for things like iPhones and laptops. We also had problems with migrants selling stuff they'd been given at the hotel. Many would find ways to abuse the system.
'Some would hoard the free food, toiletries and baby formula and sell it on the street. In another case a woman complained someone had stolen £5,000 in cash she had hidden in her room. She shouldn't have had it in the first place.'
A Home Office spokesman said: 'These are dreadful allegations which we are urgently investigating.
'While most people comply with the rules, our contractors must maintain order and immediately report any issues. Cases of illegal working, including online, antisocial behaviour, or safeguarding breaches can lead to support being cut.'
The ex-manager oversaw five hotels in the North West housing a total of 1,769 migrants recently arrived in Britain.

He stressed that many were 'well behaved and genuinely in need of refuge' but said 'a signifiant minority' abused the system.
'I came into the job with an open mind, full of positivity, I wanted to help families and children who had fled bad situations in their country,' he explained.
'I'm not racist. I believe people have a right to claim asylum in the UK, especially if they are fleeing something horrible, and as a country, it's right and proper that we try to help.

'But sadly, many of the migrants I dealt with were flouting the system put in place to help those in genuine need. Their behaviour made the situation worse for those in real need.
'Towards the end of my time, it was impossible not to feel like we're being taken for a ride.'
He claims asylum seekers would regularly call 999 for minor, non-emergency medical conditions such as colds or chest pains, simply because they knew it was free.

The source added 'service users' are given three meals a day, free toiletries are dished out at a hotel shop, including aftershave and moisturiser, and they get all their clothes washed, ironed and folded by a laundry service.
Migrants with mobility problems can take free taxis to NHS appointments, but the manager said many would abuse the system by using cabs for personal transport.
He said all migrants are given £9 a week spending money on a prepaid credit card, free gym passes and they enjoy football and basketball sessions and other activities.
But despite having everything laid on for them, he claims many would find ways to take advantage.
He said: 'Each nationality would have a sort of leader, and they would basically teach everyone how to game the system.'
He added: 'Asylum seekers are not allowed to work while their claim is being processed, but it's difficult to police.
'You'd see the Deliveroo bikes leaving in the morning. Some of the young lads would work at a car wash for eight hours and earn £5-an-hour or £40 a day.'
He claimed that some migrants are fully aware they will not win their asylum case, but fly to the UK for the free extended holiday.
He said: 'They get to stay here for free for 12-18 months while their claim is processed and then they get to claim £3,000 from the Government to be removed, and the taxpayer foots the bill.'
One man arrived with two wives and six kids. They were removed from a hotel because it was unsuitable and put into different accommodation, 'most likely a house'.
In the UK, asylum seekers who voluntarily return to their home country can receive financial and logistical assistance from the Home Office, including up to £3,000 and help with travel costs.

The manager said he and other Serco staff felt powerless to deal with the bad behaviour. 'We were instructed to monitor, observe and report, that's it,' he added.
'Any action had to be authorised by the Home Office or Migrant Help, but not much was ever done.
'Often the migrants would receive warning letters, but they just carried on as normal.'
The manager says three of the hotels he oversaw were for migrant families, while the other two were for single males.
In May, a Government report said three firms who turned their hotels into migrant hubs — Clearsprings, Mears and Serco — had made combined profits of £383million since 2019 after the expected costs of housing asylum seekers tripled.
Serco told The Sun on Sunday in a statement: 'Serco is contracted to provide safe and appropriate accommodation for asylum seekers and to report any signs of work or wealth to the Home Office.
'We always report any signs identified, allowing the Home Office to take appropriate action.
'The rules on benefits, healthcare and the right to leave asylum accommodation are set by Government and are not part of Serco's contract with the Home Office.'
The Metropole was once run by Butlin's and its housing of migrants has caused concern among local politicians and residents.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'These hotels full of illegal immigrants are dens of illegal working, criminality and now we learn depravity as well.
'This is all being overseen by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper — using billions of Pounds of our hard-earned money.'
