Camping in the fall in the Colorado mountains and it was raining and I was freezing.
Or staying at my uncle's house in the Midwest for a couple of nights one summer. I drove my 80 year old mother there for a visit and wanted to stay at a hotel but he guilted us into sleeping at his home as he had plenty of room. That ended up being a camping cot in the living room with no AC. We had to open the windows to get some sort of breeze and then the neighbor's dogs barked most of the night - this was in the country. And my aunt and uncle are early risers, eat big breakfasts, and are very chatty in the morning while I am the opposite.
My brother was in a bad workplace accident in Cleveland. The hospital he was in had "guest quarters" that cost $10 per person per night. My mom, another brother and I stayed in the guest quarters. They were in the old psych unit and it took a map to find your way to the area we were staying in. This was in December and it was snowing and freezing outside. There was barely any heat. We went in through a locked door into the ward. Fortunately we were the only ones staying there. My brother was in one room and my mom and I were in another. It was so cold, we each had a threadbare blanket and had to walk down the hall to a institutional style bathroom, several stalls and one little shower. Kind of freaky for a chicken like me. The next night I told my mom I was paying for a hotel room for us so we could actually sleep!
On a concrete inclined wall next to some guy whose feet smelled worse than the encierro at the Running of the Bulls (where I was waiting to witness the event). Plus, I kept sliding down the wall...
Back of my truck the night it hit -15* with 30 mile/hour wind.

Leaking storage container in NC during hurricane Matthew. Had to challenge a possum for it, and felt bad afterwards for stealing his spot.
2 places stand out:
#1: at a seedy hotel where you had to pay five dollars for a padded door lock, the bed had huge brown stains. Next morning.. We were awoken by officers. they wanted a statement on the murder in the hotel room two doors down. Fwiw, we didn't know we were in the epicenter of drug and murder town. We were so exhausted that we simply wanted a room for the night. Who knew!
#2: Vegas: pink high piled shag carpet, room smelled heavily of whiskey and cigars. Our car was locked in a gated back parking lot. we had to pay $20 to have it there. The bed had a smelly valour bedspread. We slept there 3 hours before we got the willies. We ended up sleeping in our car over by a nicer area. Worse neck pain from that arrangement. Plus it got really cold there at night..
On a dirt floor in an empty house in a small town in El Salvador. Long story.
