Watch: Burning bin at Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham.

A large bin was set on fire and appeared to have been forced into a window or door.

Protesters threw objects at the hotel windows and waved England flags.

It is unclear if the hotel is housing asylum seekers.
