My bid would be for an ex-communist dump in Vlora, Albania. I guess
the bullet holes in the front door should've been a giveaway, or
perhaps the long dead rat in the stairwell. Staff spoke no English,
Russian, or Italian, and the room was long and narrow with a door that
didn't lock. I found a sock in the bed, and the walls were kinda brown
and green, although I'm not sure which was the actual paint. The
shared toilet didn't flush, and so you needed to fill a bucket with
water and pour. They wanted 30 euro to stay the night too. I dined at
their restaurant they recommended, and got them to add it to the bill.
I got up at 4:30 in the morning and did a runner without paying.

It was my birthday too.
