This is a question 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.

Washington DC
We had a room with baby c0ckroaches which emerged from the shower plughole - aww, Our friend had big fat Mummy and Daddy roaches all over the floor, ceiling and walls.
DC was very cheap for clothes at the time, the exchange rate being what it was, so I was struggling back to the hotel each night with huge bags of shopping. However I couldn't take the lift as one member of staff insisted on travelling with me and pressing the buttons (like I can't press the friggin buttons myself!) and demanding a tip. So thereafter I struggled up 3 flights of stairs with my shopping instead, much to lift girl's dismay.
Carpets and sheets were fun - all nylon, and we couldn't touch any of the metal door handles without getting hefty static shocks.
Best beer range in the world in the bar though apparently*

heehee
if they ask/demand a tip point out the imperfections of their button pushing technique and how to improve it. They really hate you after that but stop pressing the button for you.
