The following hotels have been voted as the worst in the Starwood portfolio of hotels.
Hotels with a low number of votes, and there is a majority that only have one vote each, should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Moreover, several hotels have had significant renovations since the original vote(s) were cast. As a result, negative votes for those properties should be discounted.

He frowned several times while processing my check in. No smile or welcome, verbally or nonverbally. While I was checking in he received phone calls from several guests, and he refused every request swiftly, firmly, and without apology: "No. What?! No. Housekeeping is closed." I trashed the hotel in a post-stay survey and received an apology from the manager with a vague offer of a future room upgrade. No compensation.

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

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

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.

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.

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