Go into most hotel rooms and in the bedside drawer there will be a Bible
many people will never check these but you should even if you don't want to
read it there's a big surprise inside which few people know about today we'll
look at that and also some other things you need to look out for next time
you're in a hotel room I'm Charlene today we're going to look at why you
should always check the Bible in your hotel room but before we check in why
not subscribe and press the notification bell to coming up first we have Bibles
when you think of things you may need to check for in a hotel room the Bible
hardly seems like the first thing people don't usually check this but they should
the reason why is because inside you can find money
the Bible's found in hotel rooms are Gideon Bibles this basically means
they've been distributed to the hotel for free but inside you can find $100
bills as a reward for those who may need it some say the money's put in by the
Gideon's who give the Bibles to the hotels but apparently Christians often
replenish the money when they stay at the hotels so if you go to a country
where the hotel rooms have Bibles like in the USA always check inside the
reason why this is done is because people who turn to the Bible in a hotel
room may be in a time of need and is also the saying do unto others as you
would want done to you so check this out in your next hotel room and it may just
cover your stay next up is hidden cameras this one is so disturbing it may
sound like it's fiction but unfortunately news of hidden cameras
being found in hotel rooms is becoming more and more common this is most common
in Airbnb s where people are just renting the room as a side business but
it often happens in hotels to these hidden cameras often appear to be
regular items found in hotel rooms for example a wall outlet or maybe a smoke
detector one Netflix documentary known as the voyeur investigated a Colorado
motel it turned out the motel owner had been spying on his guests with hidden
cameras for decades but thankfully there are some things you can check to make
sure there's no killing cameras in your room first check if there's multiple
smoke detectors in one room as one is often fake also check for any smoke
detectors in the bathroom where they usually won't be and it may be fake you
may also want to oddly placed decorations and gadgets and
also any red lights or wires you see in your hotel room
unfortunately hidden cameras can be pretty small but if you look you will
find them next up is safe every good hotel room has a safe and you
should always use it to keep your valuables locked up they may not be
perfect but it's much safer than leaving everything out on your bed however in
some hotels it's found the safe is fake after you put your valuables in the safe
check if any random code opens the safe sometimes hotels have these in case
people forget their codes but this is very bad practice and it means literally
anyone can open up your hotel safe so always check your hotel rooms safe works
before actually using it next up we have glasses
the first thing many people do in a hotel room is pour themselves a nice
drink but you should never use hotel glasses without washing them first an
undercover operation by ABC News found 73% of glasses were not cleaned in hotel
rooms and the ones that were cleaned actually post a bigger health risk to
guests who use them that's because they were cleaned with Lysol milchie remover
or a dirty rag that is pretty nasty so make sure you always wash the glasses
before you use them or just don't use them at all
that's probably what I'll be doing not only that hotels and known places where
people get ill that's because there's often lots of people coming from all
different places carrying different flus next up is door lock this one seems kind
of obvious many hotel goers simply assume the door will lock behind them
when they leave not always PO tell doors can sometimes malfunction leaving the
door unlocked this could cause someone to enter your room and steal your staff
or even worse someone entering your room while you're asleep so whenever you stay
at a hotel make sure you go outside of your room with your key in case you get
locked out let it do a fully shot and then check if you can open it without
the key if you can't the door lock works fine but if you use force on the door
and you can still enter the room then request a new room or get a new hotel
next up is sheets it's a scientific fact that travel makes you double as tired as
you normally are in a day and that's why when many people check into a hotel room
they simply crawl into bed and fall asleep but before you do that you need
to check the sheets and the towels and that's not me being a Karen you really
have to do this that's because many hotel rooms actually don't change the
sheets or the towels pull back your duvet your comforter and check for any
stains makeup or hairs if you see any of these things it means the sheets have
not been replaced from the previous guest or guests also check the mattress
if any large yellow stains mold or bugs if you do see yellow stains they're
likely not pee but sweat and also check your bathroom towels for any stains hair
or makeup this of course means they have not been washed or replaced next up is
TV remote when you think of the dirtiest items in your hotel room you may think
of the toilet but did you know that on average TV remotes have more fecal
bacteria on them than your toilet seat this is the case in most hotels and in
one study from Scientific American 81% of hotel surfaces had some form of fecal
bacteria on them that's right nowhere is safe so think twice before reaching into
that bag of chips while pressing your TV remote you're almost definitely eating
someone else's bacteria there's a quick fix though simply wipe down your TV
remote with an antibacterial wipe make sure you wipe down the entire remote
including in between the buttons you can ask for an antibacterial wipe from the
front desk and they'll happily give you one coming up next we have bedbugs
this one is pretty worrying and essential and you should check for this
before you've even unpacked that's because bedbugs can easily crawl
into your clothes and into your suitcase and even the most clean hotels can fall
victim to an infestation that's because someone may bring them in through their
luggage after staying at a less clean hotel some travelers even place their
suitcase in the bathtub as they arrive this means no bedbugs can get into their
suitcase before they've checked if you see any black or brown stains on your
duvet this is a sigh bedbugs are near that's because they
like to leave their excrement where they go also pull back the sheets and look
very closely pretty small black or brown bucks if you find something at grab your
suitcase and do not stay in that room bedbugs are very nasty creatures and
we'll leave you with lots of red bumps on your skin if you don't check for them
you may even take them back to your house and then you need to pay for it to
be fumigated and bedbugs can even sometimes burrow into your skin so while
you're staying in a hotel a bug it could be staying rent-free inside your body
and finally on the list we have ice bucket whenever you go into a hotel room
be sure to do the ice bucket challenge
nope not that one instead you need to check out a dirty hotel secret that
secret is that ice buckets are almost never cleaned in hotels
also during hotel room parties ice buckets often get used as the vomit
bucket so that nice ice you're putting into your drink may have somebody's
throw-up in it so it may be best to check that the ice bucket has a plastic
bag to line the bucket but if it does make sure there's not even the tiniest
hole that's because micro bacteria could still get through to the ice and
therefore your drink but now it's time to make your voice heard which was the
most surprising thing you need to check for in every hotel room if you want some
