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

Pre-Used Soap
Housekeeping forgot to change in a new bar of wrapped soap at a Hampton Inn in So Cal. It's soap, so it should be clean, but still, using someone else's soap is a little gross.
A Little Shower Smegma
From a traveler in Texas who shares this photo. "The shower gel may be invigorating, but the smegma on top, not so much."
Bird Poop or a Happy Stain?
On a couch at a $179 a night room in beautiful El Centro.
“It’s Just Rust”
From a former Hyatt property where a traveler noticed this blob of discoloration and was told not too worry. "It's the humidity. It's just rust."
When You Find An Ant In Your Coffee
From a traveler at an IHG property in the Tampa/St. Pete area where they had JUST texted their client and thanked them for the hotel, started the in-room coffee, took a shower, poured cup and found this little beauty floating at the top.
Someone Needs To Wash The Washcloth
From a cross country traveler who stopped for a little shut eye literally in the middle of nowhere and made the mistake of taking too close of a look at the washcloth. The good news? It's dark. It's dirt. There are worse possibilities....
