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.

Lovely LisbonThe harbour in Lisbon, early nineties. Small hotel, dirty but adequate. Bar on ground floor next door. Go into bar on way home, have a beer, feel intimidated by hard crowd, go to room.
Wake up by loud screeching noise from outside.
Go to window, see lady with blood pumping from sliced face, with screeching friend by her side.
See man with biker colors on back and bloodied knife in hand run into the hotel you're staying in.
Drag cabinet in front of door, lock yourself in bathroom for the night. Sleep not.
When paying next morning, observe that the receptionist seems to be a member of the same biker gang as the knife-wielding misogynist.
Do not argue about having to pay too much.
Leave, gingerly stepping around blood on ground.
That's all.
