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

New Meaning To “What An Ass Wipe!”

Lovely. I spend a day in a tube with a senior crew member who needed to tell me her medical history going back to the era of the Wright Brothers, and then I slam, click and lock and find this wash cloth specimen. How do you MISS this? I'm going to tack it to the door...

That’s Reassuring

That’s Reassuring

I once saw a sign outside a hotel elevator in Sao Paulo that said "Please insure that the elevator has arrived when the door opens". Signs like this are never posted unless at least once, the elevator wasn't and someone texting on their phone stepped into the abyss.
