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.

Holiday InnI used to work for Holiday Inn (shudder!) and occaisionally got cheap weekend deals. One of these was to a hotel near the Humber Bridge (for reasons I won't go into here) for one night. On arriving we found that the room was set up for just one person - and as I made the booking myself I know it was booked for two. This meant having to chase up extra pillows, tea & coffee, toiletries etc. Having dinner that night was like eating in a ghost town, but even though there was only us & I other couple dining the service was still appalling.
But the next morning was the icing on the cake - we arrived for breakfast and could find no staff. I even went into the kitchen to try and find someone. I think we did eventually get breakfast, but I don't really remember.
I wonder if that hotel is still going?
