Hey! I thought the government was supposed to protect us from these evil coporations!!!

Looks like private enterprise is doing a much better job protecting us if you ask me

:cheers:

Thanks to gryphon at Fat Shirley's for this head's up!

Stay at Hampton Inns. The glasses are new plastic ones wrapped in plastic.

Either that or do what I've done for 20 years plus - wash 'em yourself before you use them.

Same thing about restaurants really. If you knew what really went on - iceberg lettuce basketball, etc., you'd never eat out again.

Makes you wonder about the coffee pots on the bathroom counter, too. :darthno:

I wash that out too. Inside and out. Fear of employee malice is not the reason - just experience. But then I also carry my own coffee because the free stuff sucks.

I own a motel.

Don't EVER, EVER, sit or lay on the bed spread.

Ever.

Also, use slipper or shoes when walking on he floors.
It doesn't matter about the "quality" of the hotel.

Hotels are in the "looks clean" business not the " is clean" business.

Many hotels don't use breadspreads anymore b/c they're so awful. They have a small swath of cloth at the end of the bed.

Fine. They are washed regularly. I always use them as my place to sit lay down. The bed covers--are washed every now and then.

A/C's in hotel rooms are usually pretty nasty things, too. Wet and dark and on all of the time. Lots of mold build up.

As far as glasses go, I think I'll just cup my hands under the faucet from now on, thanks.

Not surprised about the bed spreads -- when walking in the hotel hallways, one can see the house keeping staffs pushing their carts around and cleaning rooms, and it's pretty obvious that the carts don't have the capacity to haul bed spreads to exchange them for clean ones.

One can also observe house keeping's carts and see if one can find replacement glasses on them. If there is none, then you know they're not exchanging the room glasses for those coming off (presumably) the dish washer.

I also don't get what Mark was referring to about private enterprises doing a better job than the government on this issue. Private enterprises are the ones not cleaning the classes, private citizens are the ones turning a blind eye in exchange for lower hotel rates (there's no reason why private citizens couldn't suspect that something is "not clean" if they don't see house keeping staff pushing carts and carts of bed spreads and glasses to swap out from guest rooms). Now some hotels have switched to disposable plastic cups -- is that really an improvement, or merely creating more waste while losing the proper cup to hold hot beverage? :confused:
