Hotel SplendidoEnzyme writes, "what about awful hotels, B&Bs, or friends' houses where you've had no choice but to stay the night?"
What, the place in Oxford that had the mattresses encased in plastic (crinkly noises all night), the place in Blackpool where the night manager would drum to the music on his ipod on the corridor walls as he did his rounds, or the place in Lancaster where the two single beds(!) collapsed through metal fatigue?
Add your crappy hotel experiences to our list.

In Washington DC......stayed in a hotel near the FBI building (which is apparently supposed to look like a filing cabinet, but looks more like a beige Tricorn centre, but I'm going off on a tangent here). Within the first day there, the sink in the bathroom had come off the wall, and was subsequently attached only by the plumbing, which, due to the angle of it now completely different, was dripping furiously.
It kept dripping throughout the night, keeping me up. Even after putting a towel beneath the drips, it reached saturation point so quickly, it made practically no difference (except that the sound was less echo-y).
Fortunately, the cleaning staff re-attached it the next day, but by the looks of it, made no effort to attach it to the wall better at the start.
Needless to say, that sink was handled very gingerly for the duration of the trip...
