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 InnAs well as cheap breaks we employees frequently had to go on training sessions in other hotels, usually involving one or more overnights.
One of these was at the Leeds/Bradford hotel in the middle of winter. The heating failed - completely. Cue everyone sitting around wrapped in blankets.
Another was computer system training somewhere further south. Blazing hot & miserably humid.
No aircon, hardley any ventilation. I dread to think what the temperature was in the training room - a small room with a dozen or more computers & people & no openable windows.
One trainee passed out, but we had to finish.
I hated working for Holiday Inn & will never stay in one again.
