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.

Shitting myself
I'm a little preturbed with all the stories relating to Amsterdam. I've been twice with the missus, but since she considers 4* 'budget' and 3* 'slumming it', I've merrily avoided any unpleasant experiences thus far. Instead I've enjoyed my psychotropic 'highs and lows' in the lap of luxury with gourmet room service on tap.
In March, I'm going back with my brother (first trip together since childhood) for a couple of days. Obviously, the budget is of the shoestring variety so the only pre-requisite was that we wouldn't share our bedroom or bathroom with anyone else. I fear that *if* our room is in reasonable condition my brother may be the sort previous occupant I'm currently reading of here.
