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?

Kind of essential really
6 of us needed a holiday apartment in cornwall for a week of beer and surfing. Left it all up to Jack, and he came back saying he'd scored a blinder, with free breakfasts, big TV, right near the beach. What could go wrong?
Well, our first problem with the grotty establishment was the complete lack of a toilet door. You had to take a shit facing everyone else in the room. Needless to say, curry had been consumed. The manager when showing us the room said "oh, the toilet door hasn't been fitted yet. is that ok?" OK!?
The TV was in some communal room somewhere, but then to really rub it in, the wood on the outside staircase had rotted, so somebody went through it, resulting in a trip to A&E. Wish I could remember the name of the place to warn others.
