    Looking at some air bandb properties in Dublin for someone who only needs to stay the one night, any way came across one offering an air mattress in what is essential the hall of their one bed apartment now it was cheap and as it has reviews people are using it, so would you be happy to pay to sleep on an air mattress in someones hall.

    Worst accommodation I even stayed in was an easy hotel in London the room was the bed plus enough room to open the door and it was extra for a room with a window, it was clean and convenient though.

    anywhere would be better than the hotel I stayed in one night in Galway, which I wont name.

    Rusty metal in the bathroom, a dirty yellow shower curtain, broken bed spring you could feel when you lay down. Smell of stale smoke in the room, mirrors and door handles about 2 feet from the floor (because they gave us the disabled room).. you couldn't open the window, when I went down to the bar that night, the customers were smoking.. not a bother on them. I went online to read the reviews on Tripadvisor and the hairs almost stood on the back of my neck.

    You could probably pay an hourly rate for the rooms if you know what I mean..

    What service does the widow offer?

    Hopefully I'll never be that badly off that I'll need to pay to sleep in someone's hallway.

    Many years ago, I got stuck for accommodation in Los Angeles after missing a train. I went drinking with some travelling companions, and ended up getting separated from them. This was in the pre-mobile phone era. I found myself in an unfamiliar city, slightly drunk, with not a lot of money, and no way of getting anywhere else, so I booked into the first hotel I came to. The reception had a metal grill protecting the receptionist (who was wearing a vest) from the customers, I was solicited twice by prostitutes on the way to my room, and the room next door appeared to double as both a brothel and a drug den. The bed was stained with what was either blood or excrement (I didn't do too close an examination to find out which) but I wouldn't have slept anyway, as the room next door was noisy, though not as noisy as the screams coming from another room down the hall. Every single person I passed on the way to my room, and the way back out the next morning stared at me, and not in a good way. I passed two people slumped in corners on my way out, either or both of whom could have been dead.

    That hotel probably wasn't better than the one in Galway.
