This made me laugh.  For others who travel as frequently as I do, you  
will really identify with some of the issues in the attached article  
from my trip advisor.

My own experiences (just a few):
      1. Went back home to NY with my mother and we stayed a the brand  
new hotel suggested by a friend of mine at House Beautiful magazine.   
But the hotel was not finished, we slept in those old metal army bunk  
beds and we shared a bathroom down the hall with about 15 other women!
      2. Went to San Francisco with my mother to see a painting  
exhibition at the SFMOMA.  We booked ourselves in a lovely Victorian  
hotel with great views, just two blocks from the museum.  But we  
didn't have a view. We didn't even have a window.  Behind the velvet  
drapes was a brick wall.
      3.  Went to Sao Paulo, Brazil and stayed in a stunning, modern  
hotel with a swimming pool on roof.  But there wasn't really a roof.   
The rain storm had caused roof damage and the lobby was soaking wet.  
{heh, no I didn't go for a swim.}

... I could go on an on, but please read on about others' experiences:
