The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel stars Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton and more and hit theaters May 4, 2012.
Being called ‘The Avengers for grown ups’, it follows a group of British retirees who decide to “outsource” their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and bolstered with visions of a life of leisure, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. Though the new environment is less luxurious than imagined, they are forever transformed by their shared experiences, discovering that life and love can begin again when you let go of the past.
Check out the trailer of this PG-13 Film:

we stayed in a horrible hotel last year right before thanksgiving because my car broke down and i had to walk to the hotel while i waited 6 hours for my hubby…
Over 20 years ago. We finally found a beautiful hotel and have been staying there ever since that awful stay.
two weeks ago at the w hotel @ time square
we expected a nice rainforest shower- our bathroom at home is so much better than theirs(except the sink)
About 5 yrs ago we made the mistake of staying in a really gross hotel. Never again, I always read reviews now.

We stayed in a horrible bed & breakfast on our honeymoon 10 yr. ago. It had naked mermaids all over. There was only a lock on the outside of the door. And the only hot tub in the place was outside the owners office window, through which you could see half naked pictures of his wife!! Needless to say we jetted out of there pretty quick!!!
In Clewiston FLorida over Christmas holidays… big gap under the door of the motel for who knows what to crawl in, right on the highway, it sounded like trucks were driving into our room! We left at 3:30 AM since we couldn’t sleep and figured we could put some miles behind us so we could get to Key West.
NYC Comfort Inn a few months ago. Can’t wait to see this movie.
About 5 years ago was the first time I flew and we took a spring break trip to Florida ( I live in Ohio). The air conditioner either was sweating bad or just had a leak, but the carpet was always wet near the window ( you know, where you would like to be able to view the beach!) and I ABSOLUTELY dislike having wet socks. I grumbled a lot those 4 days. The movie looks amazing, just seen the trailer last night.
At least 10 years ago. I stayed in a miserable place in Sumatra. Famously, the sign in the shower said, No Urinating in the Shower.
Its probably been about 10 years ago, water was a rusty brown, there were varmits I’m not quite the name of,,it made the bates motel look like the garden of Eden..Wasn’t there long..
On a cross country drive that I thought I could make in one shot, I finally got so sleepy i had to find a hotel. The only one within what seemed like a hundred miles was the grossest, nastiest place I’d ever seen. I slept not only with all of my clothes on, on top of my coat, but I also kept my socks and shoes on.
Our worst hotel was in the Milwaukee area but nowhere that bad. Ours was just not cleaned so good.
Guess I’ve been lucky. Can’t recall a really bad stay.
recently piece inside of closet feel on me, toliet seat came off, door wouldn’t close, lol
We stayed in a terrible hotel in New Jersey two months ago with a filthy bathroom and obnoxious neighbors with no relief!
Last weekend, the shower was dirty, one washcloth had black stuff all over it, the cable didn’t work, the sheets were so starchy they were like a tarp and it was a 3 star hotel yet the worst hotel i have stayed at
Last October, we were to fly out of Little Rock airport early in the morning and decided to drive down and spend the night so we didn’t have to leave the house so early. We booked online and arrived at the hotel 4 hours later. They never told us that a water line had broken and there was no hot water in the entire hotel. When we woke up at 5 am to catch our plane, we had to run water through the coffee maker and take a sponge bath in the shower so we could catch our 7 o’clock plane at least somewhat clean!

When we were in a pensione in Florence and the bed broke!
I stayed in an awful hotel a couple years ago.
I stayed in a really bad hotel several years ago near Hampton Beach in NH. It was winter time and the heater didn’t work, so they moved us to a different room, the heater was a type you light. The thermostat didn’t work so we had to sleep with the window open. The TV was broken also. LOL
About 25 years ago we stayed in motel, where a lady was killed in the room behined us. It rained the whole time we were there,locked the keys in car.

I have never stayed in a bad motel. Luckily
There was this seedy motel about 15 years ago…But the owner made awesome donuts
Never!!
I have never stayed in one that bad…
I stayed in a real dump in Mexico some years back. The air conditioning was broken, the water was brown and door on my room didn’t lock. Awful!
right before we had our 2nd child (“babymoon!”)
One motel gave me bedbug bites…

I stayed in a bad hotel about 8 years ago and didn’t know it until after I left. Scabies! It was TERRIBLE!
The worst hotel I stayed was in Brisbane, Australia… It was about 20 yrs ago.. It was loaded with cockroaches even in the food.. Thankfully I had ordered pizza that night.. This was not a normal reflection of Australia- beautiful country, beautiful people…
I guess it was about 2 yrs ago..loved it!
oops..read it wrong..lOL , worst hotel was about 6 yrs ago. there was gum stuck on the headboard of the bed.
Quite a few years ago!!!
It has been several years ago. I didn’t want to stay but we were too tired to drive anymore. We slept on top of the bedspread. It was bad.
it was like 20 years ago
thanks for the great contest
Earlier this spring — though it did start to grow on me a little thanks to well-meaning hotel workers. Thanks!
I think it was 2000 (maybe it was later…idk) ..in Seattle, a place we had stayed before was not goof the second time around…lol
It’s been a long while. My father is a minister and we stayed in hotels a lot growing up. There were many times that we ended up in a bad hotel and had to switch!
