well not really crappy hotel..but a crappy night
went to spend new years eve in amsterdam with my girlfriend. we took the Eurolines bus and arrived around 7 in the morning..plenty of time to find a cool (read cheap) hotel we thought..but they were all fully booked. we kept looking around while stopping at every coffee shop on the way for a cup of cappuccino and a spliff..which led me to collapse in the street and go puking in a nearby canal at eleven in the morning.

we resigned to try and ask Carlton Hotel**** if they had a room for us..they said:" sorry we just have single rooms"
Us:"no problem we take it"
hotel guy:" yes ok but you need two single rooms"
I was about to collapse/puke again and said:" whatever we'll take those two rooms.."

I finally spent my new years night sick and sleeping with the Dutch TV on all night in what must be one of the most expensive hotels in center Amsterdam..while the girlfriend who didn't smoke, went to various parties, clubs, met some great people...etc..

I saved the disaster by rampaging the "eat all you want" Breakfast buffet..filling my bag and pockets with cheese, ham, cereals & fruits.

Length: I swear the towels were about two meters long..
