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.

Let yourself inI was away working over new year in Sleaford, Lincs and was booked into a fairly decent hotel in the town for the night of 1-Jan.
When I arrived after work, the place seemed pretty dark, but the front door opened when I tried it. The reception was dimly lit and un-manned but on the reception desk was an envelope addressed to 'Mr. Linbox'. Inside was a short letter explaining that they should never have accepted the booking as the hotel was closed on 1-Jan, but having realised their mistake too late to let me know, they enclosed the room key and asked if I could please lock the front door before going to bed...
No bar, no food, no nothing. Didn't get a wink of sleep knowing that the only person in the entire place was me!
