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?
Add your crappy hotel experiences to our list.

long time ago used to go on scooter runs to seaside resorts
#1 We asked if they had suitable off road parking, yes they replied. No they didnt when we arrived.
got there, and shown to the rooms. Well more like a broom cupboard.
then the 'man' of the house said 'we dont like people bringing girls back, some people did once and broke things in the room' - arse
then breakfast consisted of some crappy food, and the owners grandson running about with a pair of Y fronts on being a twat, ideal for paedos maybe, but not for me.
also they said they were close to wherever the evenings events were being held, close being a fooking long walk whilst totally blotto miles away from the rest of the people we were mates with.
#2 another scooter event. similar again with regards to location to the evening events but they had a pay TV (a box on the wall!) that 50p gave you 2 hours of tele or somewhat.
cant really remember much about the place, but the coin box on the wall could be opened with a knife, so we had free tv for the weekend ;)
#3 a new year out with mates and said i could crash at the house. it was 2 mins from the pubs and great.
what wasnt great was the 'bed' was a skanky matress on the floor, covered in all sorts (i am sure Iraq wanted it for germ warfare) and i woke up with a ciggy end or 3 under my head 9i dont smoke). the 1st train the next morn was about 7:30, i was on it.
#4 on another scooter do the double bed when i sat on it made a noise and the frame had broke on a corner and now the corner was on the floor. being a bit peeved at this i influenced the other 3 corners to break as well so at least i had a bed that was horizontal to sleep on.
#5 on a course in london and the website of the hotel said 1/2 mile from euston station, so was booked into it as the training was next door.
the hotel was about 1.5 miles away and a good 25-35 minute walk each day. I didnt mind as the weather was luckily pleasant.
