(trademark pending)
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

This Will Wake You Up In The Morning
From a traveler in suburban Seattle who got up, put a coffee packet in the little tray, took the cellophane wrap off a mug, got some water, poured it in the coffee maker and noticed that there was a big blob of mushy creamer left over from the previous guests...
Science!
Science experiments gone bad. Ever wonder why they have plastic liners for the ice buckets? Get the bucket. Fill it with ice. Dump it in the sink. Let it melt. Look for remnants. At a VERY nice hotel in Buckhead.
One Soap Degree Of Separation
Housekeeping missed this bar of soap from a previous guest at the Four Points Sheraton at O'Hare.
Stained Chair
Sheraton Laguardia East; a dime-sized stain perfect positioned between where two legs would be on a chair in room 1209. Food or wine drippings? Perhaps. I forgot my luminol on this trip.
Hall Puke
From the Failed Tourism Bureau Slogans file, "Grand Cayman: Come, Drink, Puke In The Hall" The Marriott on Grand Cayman.
Another 666!
And yet they went to the effort to number the 13th floor as 14.
