One particular client at a hotel in the United States got quite a nasty surprise when he discovered a note tucked between the sheets of his bed. After pulling back the covers, he found the following message written on a piece of paper:
If you’re reading this, then housekeeping did not change your sheets!
From the name written on the stationary, we can see that this guest was currently at the Courtyard hotel which is owned and run by Marriott, quite a well-known hotel chain in the States and because of this, you would expect them to have quite high standards of hygiene that would be respected and followed for all their rooms.
Among the many stories uploaded to Reddit of people's own experiences, one guest revealed that when they were staying at another hotel, he found a used condom in his room when he arrived - seriously?! Another woman explained that her husband found dirty underwear and two small bottles of alcohol in the bedside table. We really wouldn't have liked to stay in these rooms.
While we must admit that sometimes customers can be disrespectful and leave their hotel rooms in a deplorable state, the opposite can be just as true.
