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.

Forget about hotels...
what about uni digs? The shared toilets mean drunken, half asleep urination down the sink is now a viable option, paper thin walls mean any bedroom nookie is essentially open to the public and bad flatmates turn the whole kitchen into an eruption of leftover food. And that's forgetting about noisy neighbours and the god damn builders who see fit to start at 7:30am EVERY... FUCKING... DAY but still fall so far behind schedule they get some guy in to do something loud at 3 in the morning despite there being a police station just over the road (I'm not joking).
Length? Not bad for my first time I don't think.

Yes, Halls of Residences
Thanks to various friends, girlfriends, siblings and my own time at uni, I have experienced quite a few Halls at various universities, from the most expensive with on-suite bathrooms to absolute hovels where 15 people have to share a hob and a microwave to cook all their meals.
It almost makes me glad I am 30 and past all that malarky.

St. Anne's, Oxford
Went there for a conference a few years ago: bad enough that the shower was tiny and shared, but you'd've thought that they might have at least removed a year's worth of decomposing student hair from the plughole at the end of the academic year, wouldn't you?
