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?

To avoid being able to answer this QOTW in the future
I advise you to use TripAdvisor.com Maybe I've got lucky, but when I've used its recommendations it's been pure gold for me.
I'm not affiliated to it or anything - just know how much a bad hotel can ruin a holiday, and I think using that site is one way to avoid such an occurrence.
Hope this isn't too boring a post...

That's so true! I've had great success with TripAdvisor. Nice one.

My only problem with Tripadvisor
is that it's so very, very American. Not that I have a problem with that per se, but they do seem to spend an awful lot of time whinging about how hotels in London don't have any air conditioning. In January, ffs.
