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.

Night life in NiceHad a week in Nice with a friend a few years back. Hotel was ok - rooms basic but clean. What we hadn't realised was that,even in a resort like Nice, France shuts at 10 pm. So there we were Saturday night and everywhere is shutting so we go back to the hotel. This was staffed by just the desk guy, so no bar open. It had a lounge, of sorts, with a tv, but this was never used. It was far too early and much too sober to contemplate sleep so we retrieved a bottle of duty-free gin and the tv remote from our room and settled in. Ended up watching the end of The Eurovision Song Contest (in french, picture with more ghosts than a Derek Acorah trailer) and other rubbish while consuming industrial quantities of gin & tonic (from a vending machine) while all the other guests trooped through on their way to bed.
Didn't go back.
