Tell us all about it - we'll commiserate with you - and then compare your horror story against TripAdvisor's second-annual Top 10 dirtiest hotels list. TripAdvisor compiled the list on the cleanliness rankings submitted by disgruntled travelers.

USA TODAY's Laura Bly - who bravely stayed at the 2009 top-ranked "dirtiest hotel" - provides us with the 2010 list.

But, first, top honors goes to... San Francisco's Heritage Marina Hotel - a 15-minute walk from Fisherman's Wharf - earns top honors for 2010 due to urine-scented mattresses, stairwells, bedbugs, vomit-crusted carpets and hookers in the hallway. It won negative marks from 80% of TripAdvisor reviewers, Bly writes.

"If you are filming a horror flick or a slasher movie, this is the place for you," one TripAdvisor reviewer wrote.

The other nine:

Days Inn Eureka/Six Flags, Eureka, Mo.
Tropicana Resort Hotel and Super 8 Virginia Beach/At the Ocean, Virginia Beach;
Quality Inn, Stroudsburg, Pa.;
New York Inn, New York (down from No. 3 last year);
Parisian Hotel & Suites, Miami Beach;
Capistrano Seaside Inn, Capistrano Beach, Calif.;
Desert Lodge, Palm Springs, Calif., and
Continental Oceanfront Hotel South Beach, Miami Beach
A few patterns that stand out:

The top 10 list contains mostly independent hotels
Four of the 10 are located in beach areas
Miami Beach takes top honors as the city with the most (2) hotels on the list
California takes smudged crown as state with the most (2) hotels on the list, and
Wyndham (Days Inn) and Choice Hotels (Quality Inn) are two national chains on the list

The Prairie Motel, Lemmon, SD.

I don't remember which hotel it was, but I stayed in one in NYC once where we sat looking out the window into another room below us (the hotel had an L shape so we could see into rooms down from us) and we watched rats running around and around the room. It was an empty room. They had painting canvasses and a ladder in there, but still, it was pretty gross.

Any "Cum & Go" motel with "rest stop" ratres.

well, if Miami Beach has 2 on the list, wouldn't that mean the state of Florida has at least 2?

Days Inn Eureka/Six Flags, Eureka, Mo.

Wouldn't be shocked if 3-4 used condoms from that one-night-stand with that cheerleader in 1991 are still there.

There were more HS hookups in that dive than you could count. A fellow student worked the night desk on weekends, and would give out unbooked rooms to anyone wanting to take care of a little business. It was barely a notch above doing it in a car, or being worried about getting caught by her parents.

The place was a dump then, can't imagine what kind of shape it's in now.

Reminds me of the George Carlin joke. "Somewhere in the world is the World's Worst Doctor. Has to be, by process of elimination. And the scary part is... someone has an appointment with them, for tomorrow!"

Stayed at a Red Roof Inn in Minnesota on our way to Chiefs training camp one year and as soon as we walked in I told my buddy oh man there's definitely been some sex in this room,probably been filming pornos.

Next day we check in to our bed and breakfast in RF and our hostess(very cool girl named Paige) asks where we stayed last night and upon telling her got a horrified look on her face and said,"OMG they film a lot of porn at that place."
