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

[Locut0s]

35. Seen or been in? There are some truly HORRIBLE places here, I mean horrible...

I've never been in these but...

Any of the hotels down on the lower east side of Vancouver would be candidates. The infamous east Hastings skid row district. There are at least 3 or 4 down there that are just horrendous. The one that sticks out in my mind is the well known Cobalt Moter Hotel:

........

The key given by the manager is for a room in the corner of the building on the second floor, and the door has to be shouldered hard before it opens. It's been kicked or otherwise forced in several times, then repaired with putty and pieces of scrap wood.

Once inside, you need to reach to the top of the door and pull hard to be able to get out again. It's not something anyone shorter than 51/2 feet could do.

The walls are a patchwork of repairs. Bloody spit marks the section of wall alongside the single mattress, which is covered in a sheet full of burn holes and a thin blanket marked "property of Capital Health Region." Blood spatter stains the wall alongside the sink.

A single uncovered light bulb hangs from the roof. The bin is a brown paper bag on the floor.

A dead mouse lies in plain view, frozen Pompeii-like in grim death on the carpet alongside the fridge.

A sink sits in plywood covered with torn linoleum, with a coffee cup and dirty water glass inches away on top of it.

A laundered facecloth with what appears to be blood stains on it is folded atop the linoleum. A wedge of broken mirror about a half-metre square rests next to the sink.

It's worth it to read the whole thing.

Here are some google street view pics of some of them:

They are a LOT worse then they look there.
