Hall of Shame - Worst SPG experiences (Where would you not stay again?)
 

I thought it'd be helpful both for myself as well as others to have a thread for the worst hotel/resort experiences ever... where have you had the most revolting experience? where would you recommend to your worst enemies? :D

Do note that the list below is simply a compilation of all those hotels mentioned in this thread - YMMV!

EDITED TO ADD: Name(s) of hotel(s) from the list will be removed only if and when the original poster for the particular hotel requests for it to be removed

easily sheraton baltimore where security entered my room at 1am, no explanation, no apology, no reason

thought i was a squatter, how i have no idea

That would have easily been a free night for me. I carry a door jam with me. It stops that kind of crap.

You can give it a try, but my observation is that certain kinds of people demand the attention of their own threads.

Yes but it does seem to fall in line with the "National Inquirer" aspect all to common on Ftalk these days:rolleyes:

BTW most of my "bad hotel" experiences I lay solely at the feet of other guests.;)

I had to wait like 10 minutes for a piece of cheesecake at the Westin San Diego a few weeks ago. I guess it wasn't that bad after all.

No, that's pretty brutal. :)

I have yet to be comp'ed Platinum status?

I once had a Heavenly pillow that was upside down :)

so, is that like a Hell pillow? :p

Back around 1997, I had a terrible stay at a very marginal, poorly maintained Sheraton on Singer Island (which was billed as "North Palm Beach"). It was a lousy hotel and had the Sheraton name taken away shortly thereafter.

It's been pretty smooth sailing ever since.

I stayed at the Miami Beach 4Pts. I think I win (or I guess lose?)

What?!?! No one has mentioned the current targeted promotion yet? :p

OH GOOD LAWDY don't get people started!! :p

Definitely that one and the complete lack of SPG doing nothing to ammend the problems or make it right. Big :td: to SPG on that one.

Now on the subject of hotels, how about the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. Stayed there on 3 separate occasions in the last year. Out of 5 rooms I was in, all had mold problems to various degrees. Two rooms had sofas that stunk of mold, two rooms had mold visible growing on wall, and one had mold on a pillow case. Truley a disgrace, but what can you expect from a company that likes to treat only a certain portion of customers like they matter?

After my second night there I had had enough and switched over to the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It felt so nice to stay in a place less than 40 years old where I wouldn't get sick from breathing mold spores or worry about a rat biting my ear off when I was sleeping.
