Eww, hotel glasses article....

[eina15]

Just came back from staying at an older hotel for work, and then read this.....(thank god I didn't use any of the cups!)

"Atlanta set up secret cameras inside 5 different hotel chains from the Holiday Inn to the Ritz Carlton (shown above) and caught every single one of them failing to properly wash the room's glasses.

At every single hotel, regardless of price, the glasses were simply rinsed out and left for the next guest. Some hotels used dirty bath towels to wipe the glasses. ( ) One hotel employee rinsed the glasses after cleaning the toilet—using the same gloves. Another one sprayed the glasses with blue cleaning fluid that was marked "Do not drink."

Fox Atlanta has turned the results of the investigation over to the local health department. Experts interviewed in the video maintain that this isn't just a case of "ew, gross" but a very serious health code violation. Dirty glasses spread disease.

Truly disgusting. "

Thought I'd share for those of you travelling soon, pack your own glasses

Anyone else have any nasty hotel-cleanliness stories??

Hotels also dont change the "bedspread" on the bed between guests. Thats really gross. Im glad to see somehotels are moving away from using bed spread and using duvets with covers that can be changed as the top layer on the bed.

Ive seen numerous news investigations into lab reports on what is found on the bedspreads.

^^Yeah the top bed cover is NEVER washed...thats why when i always walk into a hotel room i throw the top cover on the floor cause who knows what fatass sat with his naked ass on the sheet.

i stayed at a hotel in fernie once and their was blood on the towels. I had to find out the hard way of getting out of the shower and almost drying my face with it.

Eww good thing I have never used those nasty glasses before. All the hotels I stayed in while I was backpacking Europe used plastic cups in their own package!

Holy crap, I thought the glasses thing was bad - some of these posts make me want to

The hotel I was just at had a sign by the towels begging ppl not to "stain" the towels as many were becoming unusable. I don't even want to know...

Well ..

My buddy .. he used to work for hotel... they used theose "courtesy" toothbrush to clean the toilet ...

Also the remote touching the remote gets way more bacteria/fecal matter on you than touching the toilet itself.

That reminds me of that period-blood hump scene in the movie Superbad.

I started a hotel experience thread. http://forums.beyond.ca/st/195933/ho...el-experience/

I got a real sick one for you guys. What's particularly disappointing is that it happened at the Bellagio in Vegas. Anyway, the room I was staying at came with guest robes, and just before putting one on, I noticed skid marks in the ass area!! That's right!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!
