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?

Brown Baby Otter
I used to work in Spain and had the amazing luck to visit 2 of the crappiest hotels the country had to offer.
The one with the 70s brown decor all round and the chicken feet soup was actuallyheaven compared to the worst one.
I thought something was amiss as I saw a small flea ridden dog that seemed to be trying to chew its own tail off in reception. This was however just a preview. As I strolled through the pool area I noticed with much astonishment that the local canine had in fact birthed a brown baby otter right in the swimming pool.
Now I'm not sure what Rex had been eating but it did dissolve at a rate of knots to form what I could only describe as a rusty coloured slurry that floated magestically around the shallow end.
