The hotel, owned by Gez Chetal, will compete against three other hotels across the UK this week and on Friday's episode they will meet for payment day, where each owner pays what they think their stay was worth.
The winner of the show is the person who gets the highest percentage of their total bill.
The Thomas Paine Hotel is located on Whitehart Street in Thetford and is built from three 18th century cottages with a Victorian frontage. The hotel boasts eight 'classy. individually decorated rooms' and a brasserie restaurant.
Rooms cost between £70 for a twin room and £105 for a luxury double with bed and breakfast.
Gez, who took over the hotel in 2013, has recently renamed all his rooms after influential Americans.

Last night, the show kicked off with The Five Bells Hotel near Dover owned by Shelley Parnell and her mum Linda Yates.
