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.

Water shortageLeading up to this episode, had been a massive bust up between my MIL and her other daughter (i.e not my wife), so we were already stressed.
Get to hotel,(booked through Laterooms), this is meant to be for my wife's birthday.
The room is at the top of the hotel, but is ok, not too small, bed is comfortable.
The bathroom, however, is another matter, the shower is over the bath, under a sloping ceiling. Therefore, it is impossible to stand upright underneath the shower,(unless you are 4ft tall).
Wife goes for shower, no hot water, inform the manager, who says he knows, but we can use the bridal suite, which, although booked, is unoccupied till after midnight. Go to room, wife bangs her shin on the massive wooden bed, goes into bathroom, I go back to our room, and make do with a cold shower, that is until Mrs twoheads comes back - no hot water, I'm wet so get dressed with out drying and go back to other room, get warm water out of shower, and go back to our room.
We eventually get out at 10:30.
Breakfast was nice, and we had £40 knocked of the bill, which was cheap to start with.
Met the newlyweds in the foyer, but resisted telling them how nice their room was, and thanks for the use of their bathroom.
Apologies for length etc
