The Acropolis Hotel, Brighton, booked by an office using 'alphabetical order' as the main criteria. Had four beds in the room when we arrived, and seven a few hours later. Left after one night. Burned down 18 months later.

there was a dire looking hotel round the corner from where I used to live in harringay that had some astonishingly bad online reviews, the peak of which was the mysterious line "room had no floor".
