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.

Marseille, circa 84
Mum sister and me have to fly down to Marseille to meet dad on the ship he is working on. Flight is delayed, last one into airport. Ship no where to be seen (storm in the med i suppose). Football match or something in town, all hotels full. Taxi driver takes pity on the wife with two kids and finds us room and lodging - the buy the hour kind. Mum seemed worried, but i thought it was fun with all the scantily clad ladies roaming round.
The madam of the house made a mean cup of hot chocolate though.
Length? not arf.
