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.

Tampa, FLWe had a family gathering in Tampa, FL. In our room, I was the first to use the shower when we arrived, and I found that my towel had a long, wide streak of blood on it. I noticed this once I was about halfway dried off. And it was NOT my blood!
My wife's cousin used the bathroom sink in her room, and the faucet handle fell off in her hand.
When it was time for my wife's parents and grandparents to check out, the elevator was broken. My wife's late-80s frail grandparents were on the 5th floor. The hotel staff were in no way apologetic about the fact that they thus had to walk down all those stairs (difficult at that age!). Everyone under 50 was out somewhere, so this also meant that my father-in-law (who had very bad knees which he just recently had surgery on) had to carry all 4 people's luggage down by hand.
I realize the staff couldn't snap their fingers and make the elevator be fixed, but a simple "sorry about that!" or "we'll have an employee carry your luggage down the stairs, sir!" would have been nice.
