I know that hotels wash and bleach the sheets that you sleep on...

[NFS4]

But what about those comforters? Do they ever clean those?

 

[iamwiz82]

No, they do not.

 

[NuclearNed]

Take a blacklight and see for yourself...

 

[monk3y]

I'd hope they would... But I'm sure it gets done much less than is needed.

I always wonder about the spread and the blankets. Ick.

I have heard that the chairs are filthy. Some people sit around naked in the privacy of their room, and those never get cleaned.

My friend used to work for people who owned Mariott, Courtyard etc.., and the answer is not after every guest stays there. It ranges from monthly to every few months.

Comforters like door handles rarely if ever get cleaned

 

[Brainonska511]

I try not to think about it.

Damn. I'll never be able to sleep in a hotel again.

Some tv show I watched surveyed typical hotel rooms. The nastiest thing in the room, by far, was the tv remote.

I remember staying at a hotel where the comforter smelled like shi!t. Whenever I recall that I get the shivers.. eyuk!

Inside a $300-a-night room at one of New York's finest hotels, there was dried semen on the bedspread and urine stains on the bedroom walls.

At a Miami hotel, part of a well-recognized chain, the black light revealed an unusual pattern in the carpeting in the bedroom. That pattern turned out to be trails of urine.

"Either somebody was doing something they shouldn't have," said Dr. Mark Callahan, a physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital, "or alternatively, they may have had an animal in there."

At another four-star resort, the black light illuminated traces of urine on the walls, the bedspread, chairs, a bathroom vanity stool and on the carpet right where people step into bed.

Regardless of cost ? from a one-star hotel room priced at $55 a night to a five-star room hotel room renting for $400 a night ? lab results showed traces of urine or semen in every room Primetime tested.

"There's a lot going on behind those doors," Callahan said. "And the reality is that the hotels are not going to be wiping down the walls and those surfaces."

While cleaning crews may dust, vacuum and disinfect daily, most hotels say they do deep cleaning only four times a year, on average ? unless stains are visible. But most unsuspecting hotel guests aren't prepared for the surprises Primetime found, like urine on a hotel Bible.

Yep when you check into your typical motel/hotel just take the top blanket and toss it off the bed. The sheets are always washed and most places (not all) wash the thin blanket. Some of the nicer hotels use down comforters and duvet covers which are changed daily with the sheets.

Also never go barefoot on hotel carpet

I bring a spare pillow and blanket now whenever I can.

But the top blanket touched the thin one.
I never go barefoot in there. You can tell alot about a hotel after ten minutes in white socks.

Back in college I had a friend that worked at a nice hotel. He told me lost count of how many times he found puke or other body substances in the ice bucket... I guess for some people when you're drunk or lazy it beats trying to make it to the bathroom.

The only time now that I ever use the ice bucket is with a disposable plastic liner...

I seriously wonder if some of you folks lie awake at night thinking of things to worry about. I go barefoot in hotel rooms, used the bedding (comforters, blankets, pillows), and I'm sure at some point I've sat naked in a hotel chair after a shower. I'm healthy, have no diseases, and all my limbs are still attached. I fail to see why people worry about this kind of stuff.

My wife usually brings our own comforter. Hotels are just nasty.
