Luxury Hotel Employees Are Sharing Things That Management Would Never Want People to Know About, & Some of These Are Disturbing
Don’t Use the Electric Kettles
As much as we want to think that everything in hotels is well-cleaned and sanitary, the fact of the matter is that hotel staff can’t control the actions of guests. And some guests are just plain gross. Why would someone do this?
Go to a laundromat, ask the hotel if they can wash them, or simply bring enough underwear for your trip! No one wants undie-flavored tea or coffee. Just the thought of it is enough to make even the most steel-stomached person gag.
Showers Aren’t for Number Twos
Certain things in life are a given. Always close the bread bag. Look both ways before crossing the street. And whenever you need to go number one or number two, you use a toilet.
Well, those things should be a given, but apparently they aren’t. Is there a part of the world where doing a number two in the shower is a normal thing to do? Because if it is, remind us not to stay in any hotels there!
Wind Didn’t Destroy That Window
Have you ever heard those infamous stories about famous rock stars who rent really nice hotel rooms only to completely destroy them, causing lots of trouble for the poor hotel staff? Well, rock stars aren’t the only ones doing that sort of thing.
Imagine having so much money that you can destroy a window, which is not cheap to replace, and management actually makes excuses for you instead of holding you accountable! What kind of world is that?
A Serious Rat Problem
Rats are a very misunderstood animal. When they’re domesticated and properly cared for, as in pet rats, they can be very sweet and have big personalities — just like dogs and cats. The problem is with “wild” rats.
Wild rats often carry diseases and can be pretty destructive, and no one wants those in their hotels, especially if it’s somewhere they’re paying thousands of dollars a night for! Those hotels can definitely afford exterminators.
We all like to think of hotels as a magical home away from home, where you never have to wash your own sheets or cook your own breakfast, but many hotels hide serious shenanigans from their customers. From bedbug-infested walls to maids stealing guests’ belongings, we’ve compiled a list of dirty little secrets about what goes on at upscale hotels, as told by their current and former employees.
