Question

Помогите A Londoner was going to the west of England for a holiday. He arrived at a small town by train. When he knew that there were two hotels there, he took a taxi. On the way out of the station he asked the driver: «How long have you been living here?» «Since childhood,» — was the answer. «Then which hotel could you recommend?» asked the tourist. «You see, it makes no difference — whichever hotel you’ll choose you’ll be sorry you didn’t choose the other,» answered the driver.What is the gist of the joke?

Answer 1

The essence of the joke is that a tourist will think that it is a new hotel that will be better without even knowing about the hotel.

Суть шутки в том что турист будет думать, что именно вдругом отеле будет лучше даже не зная об отеле.

Answer 2

The gist of this joke is that the taxi driver is essentially saying that both hotels in the small town are equally bad or disappointing. He humorously implies that no matter which hotel the Londoner chooses, he will regret not choosing the other one because they are both not very good. It's a play on the idea that neither hotel is a good choice, and the driver is expressing a lack of enthusiasm or confidence in recommending either one.
