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?

Jungla Shagaluf Majorca
Very aptly named, the place is a Jungle, inhabited by 20 something’s from the UK. Most of them on their 1st trip abroad without mum and dad. There wasn’t a person over the age of 30, apart from us in the place.
Take about a 1000 under 20 year olds fill them with drink and let them lose. At Sundown the staff bolted everything down that would move and beat a hasty retreat for the night. It only ever got quiet at around 6 am, at sun up, for about an hour before it started all over again.
We were told that is was a quiet week as the police had only been called in once, for a broken back. The poor guy had been thrown from a 3rd floor balcony.
To be fare there was a warning in the brochure, and the place was kept reasonable clean.
Oh it took me a week, back in the UK, to adjust to sleeping with out a riot going on out side. Funny what you can get used too.

Hee hee...
...i live opposite a really noisy pub, and yeah, sleep like a log while what sounds like a riot goes on outside.
Unless my gf stays over, and then she wakes me up every 30seconds asking why there is a police siren going off, what those loud bangs were, and why is there an excessive amount of hysterical screaming outside.
