What's the worst hotel you've ever seen? And why is it the worst?

1. Some horrible place in Las Vegas...

A friend and I had been living out in the desert for a week with enough water to drink, but not enough to wash with. We were caked in dirt and dried sweat. As clueless young biologists-in-training maybe we thought the grime made us look sexy. To most everyone else we probably looked like dirty homeless people. The fact we were paying cash didn't improve our odds of getting a room.

Circus-Circus at the time was promising they could find a room in Las Vegas for anyone, at anytime, and they did too, a run down place used by the local prostitutes. The air conditioners in some units were broken, or maybe they left the windows open so their pimps could listen for any trouble, but the entire night was a cacophony of overly dramatic fake orgasms, doors opening and shutting, and occasionally people yelling at one another in the parking lot. The single pane window and thin walls didn't hold anything back.

My friend had never been to Las Vegas, which is why we were there, and I'll bet he never went back.
