Douglas was housed in the Radisson Blu in Kensington for 276 nights at a cost of just over £55,000 to the council.
After complaining about the food in the hotel, she was given a pre-paid credit card, running up charges of more than £11,000.
She was also handed a pre-paid Oyster card so she could travel free of charge.
