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.

AmsterdamA old colleague of mine (Hey Devasa!) went on a stag weekend to Amsterdam, presumably to explore the labyrinth of canals, look at diamonds and soak in the fine art at the Van Gogh museum.
Upon waking up the next morning after a night of low-country excess, he opens to the curtains of a cheap hotel room to see a fountain shaped like a cock, with rotating balls sat in the motel grounds.
When I make my first million, I'm having one just like it built in the grounds of my country house.

Hang on!Google says the fountain's been removed by the council! Surely not?
Anyone been to Ams recently and care to confirm or deny?
Very sad, if so.

Someone owns that statueIt's too important an artefact to be smelted (spoken in faux Dutch accent ala Goldmember) down to scrap.
I sincerely hope it's been painted magenta and is happily offending away in someone's back garden.
