Last night, I stayed in a Hotel in Belfast. The Room was like a Sauna, and I only got roughly 3 hours sleep; from 10:15 pm to 1:10 am. Then, I had to make alternative arrangements home; even having confusion as to where to place the key for the staff. In the end I took it to the wrong box, but I phoned them to let them know this afternoon.
To be honest, I could never stay in a Hotel; ever, again. It was just too awkward, and I didn't feel at ease. It's really for those who enjoy nights out. However, having said that, I'm glad that I went to the exhibition launch. Got chatting to a few of my friend's old sparring partners in the Art scene in the Nineties. One bloke, from Dundalk, who looked very like David Bowie. He chatted to my friend's sister.
But the hotel made things difficult.
I'm sorry your experience wasn't a good one. I find when staying in other places that they have a negative effect on me. It's a new place, somewhere unfamiliar and it doesn't feel "right" to me. I've taken to taking familiar things with me if I stay elsewhere and that helps a little. But even so my own bed in my own room and home is where I'm truly happy and comfortable.
