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.

Kerrang Weekender - Camber Sands a few years ago.
Where do you start with Camber Sands,
First impressions were Auschwittz with kids playground rides, it went downhill from there.
Our 'Chalet' for 4 consisted of camp beds heavily soiled with what we deduced to be scouse jizz stains.
A avocado bathroom suite.. ahem, a bath that was 4 feet long and about 5 inches deep - heavily stained.
Carpets that were no more than oily threads covering a concrete floor.
Net curtains with more dubious stains, brown, yellow, red a delightful mix of all the human body has to offer.
Do people really pay to go on holiday here?
Suffice to say the only redeeming thing was the 2 days of rock music and cheap beer.

Ah Camber Sands...
I was there for ATP a couple of years back... At least you had a bath! We had an electric shower that was on the same circuit as the cooker... Therefore, you could only do one at a time. Cook or wash? Wash or cook? When everyone's getting up and ready for the day, you kind of need both...
