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.

Griffin is no more ?
Crivens. That used to hold lots of students. I was there in my fourth year, when I was married and with child (file under "things not to do when you're at University, page 1).
Mind you, it was miles away from campus *and* next to Northfield, one of the roughest parts of that side of Birmingham.
And it held probably over 1000 students without having a bar or shop of any kind - the former probably as it was on Quaker land, or somesuch strange Brummie tradition.
