What was the worst hotel you ever stayed at?

I'm going to say a Marriott in Manhattan, roughly in August 2007. I forget exactly where, but it was close to the WTC site.
I was on a business trip, and I wasn't paying for it. The room wasn't dirty or anything, but its just felt delapidated. There was wallpaper peeling in a couple of spots.
It certainly wasn't horrible, but I just remember thinking about the fact that this just-adequate room in a major chain hotel was costing five hundred dollars a night.
I shudder to think what it would cost now.

Jan 1995 I stayed three nights at The Manor House in Aurora, CO.
I was solo and am male, so I doubt the creeper spent much time watching me. Still, damn. It's hard to place, but I think the Panera across from Children's Hospital on Colfax is where it sat.

2 nights in a hotel in Sydney. Arrived at about 10pm straight from the airport. Unmanned entry to had to call someone from reception to come and give me the key despite arranging all this in advance.
Got in the room and the AC was broken so as a Brit arriving in Australia for the first time it was unbearably hot and the room stank of damp.
About the worst way to start jetlag recovery and I got out after the first night despite paying in advance.
Edit, oh and the fire alarm went off at 3AM!

the breakfast buffet at Circus Circus in Las Vegas was a surreal experience.
If you were to look at it or photograph the food it all looked completely normal. But I have never encountered a situation where everything was utterly devoid of flavor. It was like encountering the literary device of eating food in hell where all looked fantastic but was like ashes in the mouth.
It extended to every dish. Sausages, eggs, biscuits, pastries. Nothing was edible! Lest you think me some picky eater my guilty pleasure used to be the Big AZ burger at 7-11. The food at Circus Circus was simply inedible to a degree that i'll never forget it.

Place in Las Vegas. They had a coin operated shower. You could pay by the night or by the hour.

Tame compared to some of the other stories here but the Motel 6 across from Disney World in Florida when I was visiting for a high school trip. I noticed that the soles of my feet were all black and assumed it was because I'd been walking around in the parking lot in bare feet. Turns out it was actually the carpet in the room. I wore my shoes in the room for the rest of my stay.

I pulled in late and tired to a random motel 6 in Illinois. Went in to the office with my wife and three small children, talked to the attendant through thick bulletproof glass to get a room. Attendant was very weirdly hesitant.
Went to the room, found the floor was linoleum tiles that were all peeling up at the edges, doors, doorframes, beds all in bad condition, some seriously weird and disturbing smell we didn’t recognize.
Came back down to the office and asked for our money back, which is the single solitary time I’ve ever done that at a hotel. The attendant seemed relieved and was very happy to return the money.
Our kids were really little but they’ve always remembered that and they call it the “nope-tel”

Motel 6 in Seymour, IN. Saw serval roaches, smelled of cigarettes and stale curry, broken AC (in the middle of summer), the carpet had various stains, bathroom was as clean as an outhouse…
And we had to sleep next to a rotting petri dish of a jacuzzi. Here’s a pic
Ah. Came here to say, for sure a Motel 6, but I can't remember which one. I was road tripping from NJ to CA. Could have been the same one, we were taking a northern route.
I'm a woman. I usually sleep commando to give everything down there some breathing room.
This specific motel 6 though, its the only hotel I've ever refused to sleep commando in. I needed a barrier between me and those sheets.

Late 1980s, the Ambassador Motel in Grand Forks, ND. My family spent a weekend there while vacationing. Dingy, dirty, fights broke out in the hallway.
