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.

Hilton Treetops. AberdeenThe worst hotel I've ever stayed in (and I've backpacked across Cambodia) was a Hilton.* The Hilton Treetops in Aberdeen, to be prescise. We were there for a wedding.
List of complaints included:
Grubby sheets with holes in, broken tv, office chairs and a desk stacked in a corner, broken loo handle, mouldy shower curtain, our room overlooked the kitchen and deliveries area, so the humming of the industrial fridges kept us awake all night), rude staff who couldn't find their arses with an atlas, and food that gave us food poisoning (the wedding meal itself).
We complained, they offered us a free night there again, but as we weren't likely to go back to Aberdeen ever, we settled for a free night at the Grovesnor Hotel in Edinburgh. Which was lully.
*I'm basing my scale on value. A couple of the places in Cambodia had gaffer-taped eletrical wires in the shower room, dangerously close to the shower head, broken air-con and lots of bugs, but they were about $2 a night, and extremely friendly. The Hilton was over a hundred pounds a night. Ripoff.
