From a business traveler in the Bay Area: “I run into this a lot at hotels where lots of Asian tourists will stay. They seem to really like their smokes so they’ll cover the sprinklers and any other smoke detectors with shower caps or ice bucket liners.”
A previous guest left, and housekeeping missed, a dirty and still damp wash cloth at a non-chain hotel in the Pacific Northwest.
There are things you learn with travel. If you’re in any snow-weather zone, especially in markets with rural outlying communities, never ever get a pool-side room on weekends. Long story but the Holidome will be rocking with unsupervised kids as the parents sit on their little faux patios and drink Mich Golden Light while crock-potting chili, until about midnight. And middle school groups, whether bible, or sport or cheerleading, will “go long”. This refuse, left for housekeeping would explain why they were up and talking until 4 am. Enough caffeine to light up North Korea for a satellite photo.
I imagine who was ever strapped down to this ironing board and tortured, spilled his guts and ratted out everyone he’s ever met: Months ago when I was asked to emcee the film festival in Sutter Creek. I decided to book a room so I would not have to drive back to Sacramento each night. There is a good reason the Jackson Lodge was the only available vacancy within 30 miles of the event. It turned out to be a very bad decision on my part. Whatever you do, no matter how tired you are, DO NOT book a room at the Jackson Lodge in Jackson California. I am surprised the health department has not shut this place down. Look at a few of the photos I took of my room upon check-in. I did not post two of the more gross photo
From a hotel in West Hollywood where the rooftop pool waiter acknowledged that people actually DO buy these $75,000 bottles of champagne “but just so they can impress their friends.”
It’s always fun to look under cushions and mattresses. Someone was sneaking some smokes at the Beverly Heritage.
