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.

newcastle upon tyne-by THE bridge.......
late monday arrived in the toon, go to hotel, the one by the bridge, i'd travelled, paid my premium & wanted to lodge...oh fuckit-the premier travelodge (joining the dots for ya there) went to the crown pasada for last orders and wandered back, got into bed and thought: fuck this is cold, only it wasn't cold it was wet....i bounce out, call reception,no more rooms ses they, so i sleep on the couch in the room. they promise to change the mattress for night 2.
night 2, eat, wander the toon, crown pasada (easily the best real ale bar in the place)(and great company too) wobble back to room and sure nuff the bed is remade, being a cynical tnuc I thinks: best check...and sure nuff the cunts had not changed the mattress it was still fucking swamped! they'd remade the sheets on a pissy fucking bed, I know that migrant labour is cheap but fuck-surely they know how to check for piss?
I call reception-again all apologies-but still no other rooms available...
i got the two nights free BTW, but i allus check the bed in any hotel now.
