Someone suggested a thread where we could post about a really bad or unusual hotel stay. I thought that would be fun but haven't see a new topic... so I thought I would start one.
I have two:
We were in Copenhagen, searching for a hotel at the end of the day. It was pouring rain, dark, dreary. We found one and climbed three flights of stairs to our room (the rudimentary elevator wasn't working). Long, dark hall.... dimly lit. Our room was old-looking and musty. No bathroom but a common bathroom for all rooms to share down the hall. I don't think there was a lightbulb over 25 watts anywhere. Super creepy; we thought the place was haunted.
We attended a wedding in Bielefeld, Germany, staying at the strange and quirky 'Egyptian Hotel'. My mom took the elevator to what she thought was our floor but instead ended up in the basement. She got out, the doors closed behind her, and she stood in pitch blackness. It seemed like an eternity before the elevator came back down again to get her. That night she hung her lovely outfit (that she was to wear to the wedding) on the shower head to air it and steam it out. The next morning it was sopping wet, as the shower head had leaked. She ended up having to wear black at her nephew's wedding. At the same hotel.... we kept thinking all night that the windows must be open, as we could hear every conversation, every raindrop, every whistle and sneeze. We finally decided the walls must be made of cardboard.
OK.... next......
