    Reminds of the this time my mate and his missus went to Juries Hotel in Cork for a wedding. They booked in on the Friday and the wedding was on Saturday. When they got to their room they both detected a bad smell. My mate called down to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. He explained that the room smelled very bad and they would like another suite. The manager apologised and told him that they were all booked because of the wedding. He offered to send them to a restaurant of their choice for lunch compliments of the hotel and said he was going to send a maid up to their room to clean and to try and get rid of the stink.

    After a nice lunch they went back to their room. When they walked in they could both still smell the same thing. Again my mate called the front desk and told the manager that the room still smelled really bad. The manager told him that they would try and find a room at another hotel. He called every hotel in Cork City, but every hotel was booked out. The manager told them that they couldn't find them a room anywhere, but they would try and clean the room again. They wanted to head for a few drinks the night before the wedding anyway, so they said they would give them a few hours to clean and then they would be back.

    When they had left, the manager and all of housekeeping went to the room to try and find what was making the room smell so bad. They searched the entire room and found nothing, so the maids changed the sheets, changed the towels, took down the curtains and put new ones up, cleaned the carpet and cleaned the room again using the strongest cleaning products they had. The mate and his missus came back after the few pints, but the smell was still there, they went to bed anyways. On the Sunday morning after the wedding, before checking out my mate was so pissed off that he decided to find whatever this smell was himself. So he started tearing the room apart himself.

    As he pulled the top mattress off the box spring he found a dead body of a woman.

    It's true, I know the fella for years.

    Turns out it was an old woman who was staying in the hotel, she was from a wealthy background but had taken to the drink. They reckon she had a bit of a bender one night, and somehow ended up sleeping under the bed frame, choked on her vomit. They assumed she had left the following morning and freshened up the room. They reckon she was there for a couple of weeks unnoticed.

    As for the perfume, well, smells and stuff Jay D! :)
