In Light Of The Threads On The Blackpool Hotel - What's The Worse Hotel You Have Stayed In?
The sordid details please.
Can be International or UK......
Mine: On my international travels, I used to grade from -5 to +5 stars, three of the hotels attracting -4 - no worse than that, just in case there was something even more catastrophic out there.
For -4 stars, try the natural air-conditioning in the walls of a hotel in Ouagadougou - yes, machine-gun bullet holes or the bedroom in Kano, the Central Airport, where I didn't know whether to sleep in the bed, on it or under it, the huge fridge with three bottles of water in, seals broken, in the centre of the room, the collapsed chairs and side unit, the radio hanging off the wall, the heavy green slime all over the shower, the only reason for not giving -5 being that the wash-basin and toilet were 'moderately' clean. The cuisine was something else too and $120 equivalent a night for this privilege - in 1987. The other one was the Makkah in Mogadishu and I have never seen a narrower bed - you needed bricks of Somali shillings to pay the bill each day.....
In the UK, I struggle to think of anything so bad but a B and B in G. Yarmouth many years ago came close, the nylon sheets, the mucky bathroom (and that's my big horror!), the flaking paint etc.
