(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

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."
Airline Window Snot
Soon to be an Alt Rock band name. Spotted on a flight from Newark to Houston where someone sneezed a little and neglected to clean it up. It's a little coagulated which means it's not, well, something else that's wet and red.
Possibly The Saddest (Plastic) In-Room Plant (Ever)
Found by a flight attendant on layover. She says that it really perked up her 6 hour stay.
Maybe The $24 Room Service Bagel WAS a Bargain
From a hotel in West Hollywood where the rooftop pool waiter acknowledged that people actually DO buy these $75,000 bottles of champagne "but just so they can impress their friends."
Kickin’ It Old School
It would take serious effort and a steel-toed boot to put four major dings in a metal-plated hotel room door. At an IHG brand in British Columbia.
Travel Reminder #428: THEY DON’T WASH THE BED SPREADS!
Always remember to take some wash clothes, and carefully pull the bed spread away and leave it in the corner. Lots of stuff happens on those spreads, as we're reminded from this hotel in Allentown.
