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.

Dirty Stop out - NOT!!!!
Every year my friends and I used to go to Blackpool for a major piss up for the weekend.
We always stayed in a budget hotel on the front (it was about £30-40 for a twin room).
The last time we went things took a turn for the worst….
The first night I got sozzled and somehow separated from my friends (okay I’ll tell the truth – I was distracted by the handsome devil at The Crazy Scots Bar) but decided to be a good girl and go back to my hotel room alone. At 3am I returned to the hotel and was dismayed to find the front door locked!! I went round the back of the hotel and the back door was open so I let myself in only to find all the internal doors were locked.
I could go down some corridors but would then find a locked door or climb some stairs only to find a locked door. I did this repeatedly about 25 times. It was all very distressing in my pissed up state.
I eventually gave up and kipped on the carpeted corridor. The staff were pretty shocked when they found me at 6am opening time.
I went up to my room and got myself to bed.
Worst of all…..NONE of my friends would believe me and thought that I had been a dirty stop out!!
