Here are 10 DISTURBING Secrets Hotels DON’T want you to know
I swear Air BnB is not paying me to do this
# 10 Just about every hotel room comes with a few
drinking glasses for their guests.
It’s super considerate of them, if you don’t want to spend $8 for a bottle of water from
the mini fridge you don’t have to drink straight from the faucet.
Thanks for looking out Guys!
Well the hidden secret behind these ostensibly innocuous glasses is a bit disturbing.
It’s been reported that many hotels have their maids clean the glasses with furniture
polish!
If you think about it, it totally makes sense that something sketchy is going on with those
glasses.
There aren’t any dishwashers in the rooms and I’ve never seen dishwashing soap on
the carts that the maids push around.
Apparently furniture polish gives the glasses that radiant sparkle that we love so much.
Most furniture polish contains cresols and petroleum distillates which are both Todd
sick and can cause skin irritation and damage to the central nervous system.
Moreover there’s been reports that disgruntled maids will wash the glasses in the toy let
if you leave the room messy or don’t leave a tip, it’s the hotel version of a waiter
spitting in your food.
So exercise some prudence when using hotel glasses, because the glass is always half
empty when its filled with toy let water.
#9 Speaking of disgruntled employees, there are
a few ways that hotel staff will get back at a rude guest.
If you’re making a scene and being a work while you check in, they can secretly downgrade
you to a worse room.
While you’re staying at the hotel they can mess with your car and your toothbrush.
They can also deactivate your key just to enjoy your frustrated face when you need to
come down to the front desk.
The hotel staff can help make or break your vacation.
So be nice!
#8 Having some company in bed can be a lot of
fun right?
Well it depends entirely on who’s keeping you company.
The alarming truth is that you could be sharing your hotel bed with a horde of bed bugs!!
These little demons puck your mud and leave revolting and itchy red bites all over your
body.
What’s more is that they can attach themselves to your clothes or climb in your suit case
so that they come along with you back home.
And then you basically have to burn down your house to get rid of them.
It’s always a good idea to check the mattress and behind the headboard when you get into
a hotel room to make sure the coast is clear because the Washington times has reported
that the issue of bed bugs in hotel rooms is an increasing concern.
I’m getting itchy just thinking about these little bad parts.
Next topic!
#7 This one is a bit counterintuitive but according
to the BBC, one of the dirtiest items in your hotel room is the coffee maker!
They interviewed a former Hotel Manager Ken Lim from Chicago who was quoted saying “The
thing that’s most squeamish to me is the coffee maker.
Yes, it looks clean, but who knows how the previous guests used it before you?
Think palm it, see car set put, crayons”.
An investigation by ABC News revealed that common practice among hotel employees is to
just swirl the coffee pots with water without properly cleaning them, which also leads to
a build-up of bacteria.
There have also been reports of people washing their aunty in the coffee kettle convinced
that the hot water will skill their nasty under pear germs.
Which is both incorrect and nauseating.
We can all agree that the best part of waking up in not throw up in your cup.
So do yourself a favor next time you’re traveling, bite your lip and go to Starbucks.
#6 In the same vein as the coffee maker, turns
out the Ice bucket is absolutely repulsive.
According to an article in Women’s Health Magazine for which I am a long time subscriber.
Where else am I supposed to go for hard hitting objective reporting on the 7 best high impact
sports paws?
Ice buckets are basically a mobile toy lest for the sunk hotel guest.
It’s pretty common for anything that exits the body to wind up in that ice bucket.
So make sure you use the plastic bag that they provide as a liner in the bucket.
Think of it as a palm done for your ice #5
As weird as it is to think about, people try while staying at hotels and hotel staff will
never reveal when a person has croaked in one of their rooms.
It happens more frequently then you’d want to believe, natural Beth’s are common but
what’s way more recurrent is dug over toes is.
The hotel will do its best to keep the Beth quiet and out of the news.
They’ll remove the evidence of the passing and continue renting out the room as soon
as possible.
It’s also speculated that hotels have agreements with toe lease and EMS where they keep any
Beth on the premises as quiet and as unnoticed as they possible can.
Which means there is a good chance during your next hotel stay you’ll be haunted by
a bugged add pick Ted ghost stuck on permanent vacation.
#4 In 2012, The University of Houston implemented
a study to discover what’s the most contaminated item in a hotel room.
This is gonna sound totally click baity but “the results may surprise you!”
It’s the remote control!
The study found that the remote has as much bacteria as the toy let seat!
How are these people changing the channel??
As we all know, people are nasty, you can’t count on anybody to wash their hands.
But you can cant on everyone to turn on the TV.
And it is rarely cleaned by hotel staff.
So I’m sincerely concerned with your health when I say, “don’t touch that dial”
#3 Its common knowledge in the Hotel Industry
that employees take advantage of having 100s of empty beds at their disposal.
That’s right, when you’re out of your room during the day enjoying that vacation
you spent months saving for, there is a strong possibility that hotel staff are releasing
their pent up text U-Haul energy all over your travel pillow.
This happens when you leave your hotel keys at reception for housekeeping.
They know you can’t get back into your room without checking in with the front desk first.
So they make like some born he teenagers and bump pug lease on that exact spot where you’ll
be resting your head in 6 hours.
Whether they change the sheets after their done is anybody’s guess.
#2 Hotels have had a protracted and macabre problem
with sue a side.
It has gotten so bad that its now common practice for hotels to bring in professional sue a
side all of gist consult with planners and staff on how to prevent people from taking
their lives in the rooms.
I know what you’re thinking, “Don’t Leave us Hanging!” what do they do to mitigate
the sue a sides?
Locking all storage areas that hold chemicals or sharp objects is a must.
Many hotels have altered windows to make sure they only open 4 inches and some have even
constructed artistic barriers that inhibit people from jumping from balconies.
I think a step in the right direction would be to improve the continental breakfasts.
Personally, stale toast and biter coffee in the morning makes me want to skill myself.
#1 In 2016 Inside Edition ran an investigation
to uncover whether or not hotels changed their sheets.
They checked in at 9 separate hotels and sprayed painted each bed with a chemical that isn’t
visible to the naked eye.
But if you shine a blacklight on this substance it glows like a tugged out teenager at a brave.
The next night they reserved all the same rooms under a different name.
When they returned the next day and shined the blacklight on the beds they discovered
that one third of the sheets hadn’t been cleaned!
In this image the inside edition reporter is staring at neon evidence that her sheets
were not changed before she checked in.
Holy Sheet that’s disgusting!
I mean for sheet’s sake you don’t know what the people were doing in that bed the
night before.
It’s absolutely mandatory that they clean the sheets between guests, you can’t have
a cheat sheet!
I’ll have to be 3 sheets to the wind before I sleep in another hotel.
