How dirty are hotels and motels? Do they really clean them? I just stayed a a Holiday Inn?

When I was checking out and and we were carrying our stuff out I watched a maid go into the room across the hall strip the bed throw the blankets and pillows on the floor change the sheets spritz the bathroom sink and leave. Is this the Norm? Was she just lazy? It makes me sick to think about the filth I slept in.How dirty are hotels and motels? Do they really clean them? I just stayed a a Holiday Inn?
I worked briefly in high school and college at a Ramada Inn and yeah that sounds about right. We were told ';If it don't look dirty leave it alone';. And no hotel or motel washes the blankets, or bedspreads or pillows each time some one checks out. They would wear out and fade too quickly. I know the maids were mostly searching for things to keep not cleaning. They were looking for dropped wallets, change and jewelery people would leave behind. Its sad but true. These places are prime breeding grounds for dirt and germs. People would let their dogs sleep in the extra beds or they would have sex on top the bedspread and you just wouldn't believe that filth in hotel rooms.How dirty are hotels and motels?

After reading those answers, I'll never again stay overnight in the Holiday Inns and the likes......Better save a bit beforehand and stay in a 5-Star *****First Class and up Hotel instead !!

We stayed in a 4 star hotel earlier this year that was filthy.





Actually we left after the 1st night and they wouldn't refund our last 3 nights stay.





The sheets were stained, the blankets were also stained and covered in other peoples hair - ewwwwwww, the floors were thick with dust all around the edges, the dishes had food stuck to them, the walls had big dirty marks, the list goes on......





We called the manager immediately and he didn't want to look. He finally came the next day and apologised. He said he could not refund what we had prepaid for the next 3 days.





We checked out as we were so upset and booked into a cheaper, cleaner hotel up the road. We checked the room before we handed over the credit card.





I photographed it all and wrote a letter to the management of the hotel chain. They apologised and offerred me a 10% discount off my next stay, but no refund.





My advise:


- Always have a look at the room before you hand over money or a credit card.


- Stay at a reputable chain.


- Ask your friends and family for their recommendations.


- If you go to Australia NEVER stay at a Breakfree or S8 Resort Hotel.
You can find filth even in a 5 star hotel!


My family and I have always stayed in Sheraton Hotels or Westin Hotels because since my dad is sooo picky well he says that the good life is always in the 5 star hotels..... not true....


It all depends on the staff that they have..... she might have been lazy... but you can also see that in a 5 star hotel.... i have, every time i get in the room i check everything from the sinks to the bathtub... under the bed the sheets... everything! and there has been like 3 times that i have found hairs, weird stuff in the carpet.... even under the bed... i have found Qtips .... seriously.... im not satying that its everyime no it has been 3 out of like 100 times in my whole life.


But all im saying that it depends on the person who clean the room.... my sister friend works in a Holiday inn in Las Vegas and she tells us everyting they do to keep the rooms clean.... its tough...but she gets it done... so i wouldnt generalize.... just next time.... do check everything!!! you might even get a discount or something for free =0) if you find something....


but dont worry.... if you didnt see anything then you didnt sleep in filth
