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.

A few years later...
Just to reassure you that nothing's changed, "High Hall" was probably still pretty much the same two years ago; internet access, rooms that weren't damp and decent catered food had all passed it by.
Last year too many people complained about it and the uni responded by turfing everyone out before Christmas!
Despite having a cell-like room though it actually wasn't that bad (living in the smaller building attached to the massive tower block we actually got the internet!), one memorable night's entertainment consisted of watching what we could only assume was a huge drugs raid on a house across the road complete with numerous police cars and a helicopter from the comfort(?!) of our own rooms!
