(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 business traveler who checked into a Hilton brand in Reston, Virginia (maybe she was being arrested and the officer said "Assume the position"?): Happened to check-in early enough that the sunshine was streaming into what appeared to be a very clean room....

Someone Was Sneaky

From a business traveler in the Bay Area: "I run into this a lot at hotels where lots of Asian tourists will stay. They seem to really like their smokes so they'll cover the sprinklers and any other smoke detectors with shower caps or ice bucket liners."
