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.

Wulfrun Hotel
Stayed in the Wulfrun Hotel, Wolverhampton (natch) in June 2005, in order to see Half Man Half Biscuit at the Wulfrun Hall.

Hotel was a dump, as expected, beds barely a foot from the floor, narrow and rock hard, with all sorts of dust and dead spiders and toenails and shite undearneath, toilets/shower rudimentary, etc. Didn't really bother me.

Breakfast, served at the cafe next door, was a nightmare of grease, with pale pink hardly-cooked sausages and a sliver of bacon attached to a thick margin of rind awash in the ruins of several fried plum tomatoes that looked like ruptured internal organs. Still ate it, though - the toast helped soak up the greasy fluids.

When we checked out I took out my debit card to pay, and the scrawny old bint behind the counter gasped, and said, "Oooh, I knew you'd do this to me."

In 2005... sorry, dear, for using a system of payment which is more or less universal. Well, it was the West Midlands.

[To any Brummies out there I lived in Dudley for 3 years so I am more than qualified to diss the place. As well as love it.]

Length? The rind was 4 inches long, 2 wide and a quarter of an inch thick.

You won't find many Brummies in Dudley or Wolverhampton
as Brummies are from Birmingham.

All right, should have said West Midlanders.
