Question

What was your worst hotel experience?

Answer 1

Hong Kong, knackered after 13 hour flight sitting between 2 sumo-wrestler-sized Chinamen and had not pre-booked hotel I let a tout talk me into a 'hotel' in Nathan Road,Tsim Sha Tsui.  It was one floor (the 14th) of a firetrap tower, the room was 6 feet square and windowless and the 'toilet' was separated from the bed by a curtain.  The walls were paper-thin and, exhausted as I was, I was kept awake by a couple in the next 'room', whose bed shook so much from their exertions I thought it was going to come through the 'wall'!  At 6 am I checked out.  The advice?  If you arrive at Nathan Road from the airport, brush all touts aside and find your own place.  Better still, book in advance.

Answer 2

The Shamrock Motel in Hixon, BC, Canada.  It was painted YA green and had such problems with mold and mildew that the bed linen was literally wet.  It stunk.  I didn't sleep all night.

Answer 3

san fransisco's whitcomb hotel. On the internet the pics looked great. It looked like a swanky 1920's hotel. when we got ther it was beautiful right until we opened the door to our room. We got a non smoker but it was still stinky, in the bathroom counter there were burn spots and caulking everywhere, and the service sucked.
