When travelling, not everyone can afford the glitz and glamour of five-star resort. However, the expectation of a clean bed, functioning television and a breakfast that provides eggs served above room temperature should be an expectation.

Everyone has stayed in a hotel that they cannot wait to leave the moment they enter their room to a light switch that does not work and a window view of a cement wall. We looked at some of the country’s worst accommodations for today’s photo series, taking a look at everything from the bug-infested to the uncooked meals.
