Business travelers, recreational travelers, novice travelers, professional travelers, space travelers…they’ve all experienced at least once, the thrill of checking into a hotel room and seeing a slightly bleached but still clearly defined vomit puddle near the bathroom door. Or a speck of blood on the shower tile. Maybe the random collection of short curly hair behind the door. Possibly a Rorschach test pattern of white droplets and splatter on the sofa. Finally there’s a place to share these images without the social media stigma you might get from your children, parents or spiritual advisor who would look askance and ask “What the hell is wrong with you?” followed by “What kind of dumps do you stay in? Are you really that cheap?" At hotelnightmares.com we know that filth doesn’t operate by a star system and that nice hotels are just as likely to have a dookie stain on the bed spread as that joint your boss put you in near the New Orleans airport last week. So share, stare…we don’t care. It’s all about the ish at hotelnightmares.com

The World’s Worst Hand Towel

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Paige Nienaber

From Jennifer at iputmylifeonashelf.com, from the Blue Mountain Bund Hostel in Shanghai. “I almost didn’t send this because it didn’t seem fair. This hostel was so beyond perfect in every way possible and I hate doing anything bad to them. But they did leave this in my room so it’s[...]
