(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

From a hotel near Boston Logan that has one of those million dollar views. If it was a million dollars in highly flammable petroleum products.
“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.
