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

Toilet Phones
To paraphrase my 10th grade gym coach, "Who are these people?!" in reference to people who phone while they're on the can. At the Hotel Le Germain in Toronto.
Pillowcase Mystery?
Why would a housekeeper soak a pillowcase? From Stan E: Maid left a soaking wet pillow top on my desk and ruined the mail underneath. Why would they soak a pillow top? Large surface area for bacteria. I never used the desk again over the remaining three days if my...
