More Terrible Hotels
Actually paid to sleep somewhere that turned out to be less compfy, private or clean than the bench in the park outside? Tell us all about it.
Or perhaps you'd like to boast about getting upgraded to a sea-view suite next door to Stevie Wonder, like my colleague keeps doing? Over and over...

Seedy Paddington
Years ago, I missed the last train going anywhere from Paddington, and ended up staying in a local "hotel".
During checkin, the guy behind the desk hardly even looked up from a small TV set in the corner. Went up to the room.
The room was tiny and entirely wood panelled walls (like a sort of 70s launderette.) The month was August and the radiator was on full. Window would not open of course.
So the room was like a sauna. Lay on the bed with nasty nylon sheets.
Every ten minutes for the next few hours, I could hear the noises from the next room through the wall.
It went something like this:
Woman: "tee hee hee hee hee hee hee!"
Man: "mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Silence for 10 minutes.
Woman: "tee hee hee hee hee hee hee!"
Man: "mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Silence for 10 minutes.
Repeat....
Wish I knew what the crap was going on in there!!!
Didn't try the breakfast.
