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.

Final Story of my long and frankly terrible list
I have mentioned my escapades in this Great Kingdom of ours, and now I feel that I should mention our dirty cousins on the continent.
Greece - I have yet to stay in a place that didn't make me feel dull throbbing disappointment. I am aware that accomodation is "basic" but I do believe that every shower head deserves a place to rest, (and I am NOT talking about between my knees as I lather up my hair) Toilet paper should go INTO the toilet and not in an icky bin, and scratchy blankets should be ruled as "against basic human rights" in the EU constitution.
Spain - Every tourist entering Spain should be required to sign an oath promising not to:
a) Sing Viva Espagna at all. Not once. Not even when drink has been taken
b) Moan about the sausages
c) Say "Oh, I can't wait to get home and have a nice cup of tea"
d) Embarrass us as a nation by being complete fuckwits
On top of this they should also be aware that people quite like to go to sleep AT SOME POINT IN THEIR HOLIDAY. I'm always exhausted when I come home from Spain. Not because I've been out spanking it hard, but because some British fools have got over excited, drank too much and sang footie songs all night long.
Portugal - I stayed in a half built hotel complex. The best kip I got was when I ate some goat, drank 2 bottles of Mateus Rose, got poisoned threw up for 2 days and then fell into an exhausted slumber.
I have decided. I'm sleeping in my own bed forever from now on.
