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.

"Le Bocage", somewhere in northern France
Gritty bedsheets from the previous dirty-toed guest. Noisome, mouldy bathroom (sorry, no Europeans except us do proper plumbing). Barman dropping copious quantities of Gauloises ash on the glasses he was supposed to be wiping.

As a parting gift, violent food poisoning 24 hours later for the whole family.

We should never have given them Calais back.

That's the first use of 'noisome' on QOTW. I salute you.
