(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

Don’t Let The Dead Bugs Bite
A greeting on the carpet met a Radio programmer returning to Arizona from vacay in California: "We just needed a place to sleep on our way back home so we stopped in El Centro, CA. Booked this one online before we arrived. $179 for the night. I am not kidding."
Cabo San Plasma
From a couple hoping to escape relatives and Thanksgiving drama with a sunny mini-vacation in Mexico, they arrived to find this on their hotel's bathroom floor. A remnant from a cartel killing or someone who stepped on coral?
These Boots Were Made For Burning
How nasty, funky and gross would your work boots need to be that you leave them outside your room to pollute the hall all night? At a hotel in St. Petersburg, FL.
Floor Rubble
A tiny collection of "stuff" that has been sitting on a hotel carpet in Florida for probably decades.
The Hotel For Hearses
At a hotel in Burbank where they lease out part of their garage to a funeral home for storing their hearses. There's "odd" and then there's ten hearses at your hotel. Maybe the Eagles were right.
A Small Electrical Problem
Something burned. Something melted. Something leaked. @thestufftheydontteachinshopclass Submitted by a couple on a move to their new home in Colorado. Somewhere in Illinois.
