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?

Victoria (I think) Hotel Glasgow
Now this is a story about the idiocy of a uni, not the hotel (which was very nice but up the side of a very fucking tall hill which was a lot of fun walking up after a night on the ale)
We had a field trip out to Glasgow as part of our course and the uni, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to book a whole hotel for the deluge of students who would be going.
1st mistake: Rooms were assigned on an arbitrary basis with no consideration for friendships and the like, so we just swapped and changed rooms as required
2nd mistake: As they had decided to rent the whole hotel they got double and single rooms.
Anyways, 2 of the guys (who really didn't know each other that well) end up sharing a double bed (I was lucky to be assigned a twin room so got my mate out of his double room quick).
Back to our 2 heroes, they decide all will be ok as long as both of them pick a side and stay there. One wakes up in the middle of the night to find the other guy has moved over in his sleep and now has his arm over him!
That was pretty funny the next day at breakfast!
