Hotel SplendidoEnzyme 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.

VancouverOn my tour of Canada, I stayed in some pretty decent hostels. One of these was not the Combie. Look it up on tinternet, it looks really nice, loads of character. It's also overun by mice. The first night I stayed there, the rustling from the bin turned to pattering on my sleeping bag. I counted 4 in all just in my room. Next night I got moved to another room, this must have been the safety complainers room, because every hole in the wall that was chewed through had been filled with expanding foam. Great. Except that the local mouse population used the ceiling above my head as a local thoroughfare. Sounded like the mouse version of Oxford Street. When I asked for my money back at 3.30 in the morning, they looked at me gone out, like no-one had ever complained before of the mice. It wasn't a youth hostel, it was a mouse hostel, and the humans were strongly outnumbered.
