Horrid Hotels Part 4
Why a great serviced apartment is always better than a bad hotel. Second in our daily series of gruesome hotel reviews.

A sneak thief in our bedroom
"The absolute worst happened in Dominica, when I woke up at 4 a.m. to see an intruder climbing out the window right next to my side of the bed. He had taken a ladder and broken into our second-floor room while we were sleeping. He must have been in the room for a little while because he had walked all the way around our bed and rooted through our clothes until he found SO’s wallet. Beyond the annoyance of losing money and credit cards, it was a really scary, unsettling experience to have on the first night of a trip; we were jumpy for the rest of the vacation.”

Horrid Hotels Part 3.
Why a great serviced apartment is always better than a bad hotel. Second in our daily series of gruesome hotel reviews:

The worst business trip ever

“When I checked in I noticed plaster had fallen from the ceiling onto the bed and the floor, so they moved me to a new room. One evening I came and and found my door wide open, no housekeepers around. My gold necklace and laptop computer were out in plain sight on the desk. A colleague saw a mouse in her room. The air conditioning could not keep up with the heat so they turned off the air in public spaces like lobbies and hallways, which meant that the doors swelled from the humidity and had to be forced open. The final straw was when I picked up the third quarter of my club sandwich and found a dead cockroach on my plate. This was all in one week at one hotel in Virginia!” — Kristina D.

The Bad Apple

“At the St. James Hotel in NYC: dirty room, filthy carpet, overlooking a shaft, ceiling in bathroom had recently been plastered and every time the heat came on, it wiggled the pipe in the bathroom and pieces of ceiling fell off. The blanket on the shelf in the closet was stuck together in its folded-up state. It would not pull apart! When asked about a hair dryer, we were told that somebody else had already checked it out for the night! One hair dryer in the entire hotel, apparently! We slept (lay awake, listening to the fighting in the hall and other rooms) on top of the sheets with our clothes and shoes on! No way was I getting undressed! We laugh about it now, but at the time I swore I’d never let my husband make reservations again. Even if a hotel doesn’t meet our expectations now, we always remind ourselves — ‘It’s not as bad as the St. James!!'” — Debbie B.T. on Facebook

The Definition of a Roach Motel
“Worst hotel stay: multiple large cockroaches on walls, floor and bed, plus tap-on-wall for shower in a non-tourist-class hotel in Bhutan. By tap-on-wall, I mean there was no shower or sink, just a faucet on the wall and a roach-filled drain on the floor. I did not sleep.” — Anonymous on Twitter

"Basil Fawlty hotelier shouted at us at breakfast and locked us in the building".
Read the first in our series of hotel disasters - this one from a dodgy establishment in the Isle of Skye

We don’t mean to pick on the opposition but there are some very good reasons why many people prefer to stay in serviced apartments rather than in a hotel. If you’re lucky, the worst problem you’ll have at a hotel will be of the minor kind – not enough pillows, weak water pressure in the...

lifesforliving A new word has entered the lexicon and it's B-leisure - the blurring of business and leisure created by the opportunities offered by serviced apartments. Many people travelling on business trips are adding a few days of holiday at the end of it because the cost of staying in a serviced apartment is less than a hotel.

As the line between work and leisure trips continues to blur, serviced apartment operators are both fuelling and catering for the ‘b-leisure‘ market.
