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.

First of many........OK first of, at most, 3
3 years ago, after visiting the missus' friend with her in Berlin, we stopped off in London for 4 days on the way back to Glasgow.
We had booked a 40 quid a night (for the room thank god) in Earl's Court.
And my was it shit.
Booked as a double room - it came with ONE SINGLE BED. Complain - no other rooms free.
NO shower/toilet/sink in room. In fact, no anything except bed, mirror and in-built radio.
Showers/Toilets were shared between floors - one to each. Showers had automatic lights which went off after 5 minutes, and a light switch outside, on the hinge side of the door.
Breakfast was terrible - greasier than a 50's hairstyle, and probably made then as well. Eggs were like cardboard.
Add to the fact that, a) the room was on the ground floor, facing the street; b) their had been a few murders very nearby days before we arrived; and c) the owners, being of Pakistani decent, were permanently chasing/shouting at a large group of Nazi-chavs, it wasn't the best place to live in.
