When you've forked out a not insignificant sum for the privilege of staying in a hotel for the night, even the smallest issues become incredibly irritating.
After all, what are you paying for if the room is dirty, the kettle plug can't reach the wall, or the staff accidentally spoil Ron's 60th surprise celebration (see below)?
In the age of social media, customers are quick to vent their bemusement, with the hashtag #hotelfail providing a perfect platform to highlight some of the shortcomings in service and accommodation guests have had to put up with.
Although we do have sympathy for those who have to put up with guests like this, we have no problem showcasing the best/worst of #hotelfail...
No tea for you
Well, there goes dad's surprise
Under lock and key
Right, room 1037... ah
Run
Speaking of creepy
Does my forehead look big in this?
Try wrapping this around your waist
Landlines are so 1997
Happiness is knowing how a bathworks
What does the reverse say?
Could categorise this under #hotelwin
When you have to clean your own room
Room with a view (watch the video)
Going up? Not today
Thou shall not pass
