graemeh: Air conditioning that is so old and decrepit that it frequently breaks and then when the guest complains move them to another room with broken air conditioning.  When they complain again upgrade them to a much more expensive room that also has broken air conditioning.

Tour buses that arrive early in the morning and sit just outside hotel rooms with their engines running.

Room service breakfast that is so expensive that even the reception staff can't believe your bill is right when they print it out.
