(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 sight to enjoy while waiting for your drink order and nachos at a Holiday Inn bar/restaurant.
Really Filthy Radio
From a radio employee on move-in day at their new offices where she found this splatte inexplicably on the wall in the hall. Welcome to the new facility! "And don't forget, Friday is Hazmat Suit Day. So, where your Hazmat suit if you want to."
Great Moments In OCD
There are a small percentage of travelers who would find this slightly-askew-door disconcerting in an "exploding head kind of way."
That Is One Jacked Up Lamp
At an airport hotel near Baltimore, the photo hardly does it justice. The faux wood base is falling off in chunks and the lampshare has stains and holes and even a slash.
Don’t Look Up…We Warned You
From a flight attendant at a Radisson: I was walking to go warm my food up in communal lobby microwave because we get no micros in rooms. I felt something drip onto the hand I was holding my food in. I looked up and saw this.
Hotel Makeovers That Never Quite Caught Everything
From a business traveler at an aging hotel in the Southwest that has undergone a massive makeover, historical pieces and art, nifty neon...but they missed the carpets. A DNA frappe' next to a bed where someone was, for a moment, REALLY happy.
