Hotel Splendido
Enzyme 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?

I used to work for the Hilton
as a chambermaid. For the longest 3 years of my life.
And believe me, its not worth the money you will pay for those rooms.
I could tell a few stories of the terrible and weird things I found left by guests. Like the box of dildos under the bed, or the wad of £500 in tenners, or the blood/sick/piss soup someone decided to leave all over the bathroom, or the approx 200 suspicious tissues all over one honeymoon suite after one night...
So you may complain about some bad places, and a lot of them are, but spare a thought for what the poor staff will find once you've gone out. Or you may end up with the delux clean;
This will involve the chambermaids eating the little packets of biscuits while they sit on your bed they just straitened the same old sheets out over, watching your tv, then spray a mist of air freshener and fold over the corners of the loo roll.
As a rule we were hard working, and appologies to any chambermaids who make more of an effort than that, it was just common practice at the Hilton in Newbury!
