I go into the bathroom, lift the lid on the head and there is a giant poo in there. WTF? Did the maid have to drop a load?
Fast forward to two 2:25 am. I bunch of dickweeds are running up and down the hall yelling and banging on doors. I tried to ignore it, threw a pillow over my head but could get back to sleep. It just kept going on with a party in a room across the hall. (Have Glock 20 with hollow points and 15 round clips, but the law would be upset if I shoot them for this )
I got up, throw on my pants and go knock on the door. Some punk answers and says "yeah man?" I said, you guys do know its 3:00 in the ****ing morning don't you? Perhaps it's time to stfu and go night night, there are people up here that aren't owls.
I go back to bed, but am two pissed off and adrenaline up to sleep. About 30 minutes later it starts again. I call the front desk and tell them what's going on and it some chick along and she says, "there is nothing I can do about it." On go the pants, BANG BANG BANG, door opens, same punk. "I asked nicely once, now I'm telling you ****ers for the last time to hold down the noise!" Punk shuts door and all is quiet.
Fast forward to 6:00 am when my alarm goes off. (slept for about an hour) I'm still pissed off and notice when I go to leave hat they had the balls to put a do not disturb on their door. Wrong answer! Back in my room I go. I dial up their room, no answer. I dial it again, no answer. On the 3rd try, they answer and I said "RISE AND SHINE!" *Click* BANG BANG BANG on their door. A different punk answers. I stuck my head in the door and said "RISE AND SHINE, breakfast is on boys and girls!" I figured, if they had the nuts to party until 3:30 and keep the whole 3rd floor up, they could get up with the rest of us.
I have another Hotel from hell story, but I need to hit the road and make calls in a different town right now.
What are your hotel stays from hell stories?

Ha, nice story Greg!
This last summer, I was driving out to Virginia Beach, to pick up my wife, and spend some time with the in-laws.
I left right after work, so was pretty sure I wouldn't do the whole 1000 miles, without stopping.
I never make reservations, just drive until I get too tired, and find a place to plop.
That didn't work out so well this time, I pulled off in some little town in Pennsylvania. They were having some Biker fest, kind of like Strurgess NorthEast.
Stopped in the Holiday Inn, they wanted $260, went to the Comfort Inn, they wanted $185. So, I go to the Knights Inn, and she said $90. I told her I didn't want to invest in the place, just wanted to sleep a few hours. She said she had a room in the back, that the A/C didn't work, and would let me have it for $65.
Holy crap, the sheets were dirty, the carpet torn, and it had one hand towel. I put my T-Shirt over the pillow and crashed. Kept one eye open for bugs.
