50 Times Hotels Messed Up So Bad, People Had To Vent Online (New Pics)

I drove for 14 hours and had a family member book a hotel for me while I was driving. Arrived at my hotel ready to crash and it was kinda gross. Decided to check for bedbugs and found this.

It was fresh from the laundry but they were stuck to the towel pretty firmly.

Maybe I’m the one out of the loop but I’ve never seen this.

I came flew in from a 4 hour flight to be greeted with this.

That path is about 30 feet below!

So I’m staying at a hotel tonight and I go to turn off the lights and discover there is no independent switch for the light under the bed.

To turn it off I have to turn the main switch off in the room which also turns off the power for the sockets.

My choice is to now sleep with a light on or not charge my phone up over night. I’m travelling tomorrow so I kinda need my phone on full battery.

Why do hotels have the weirdest lighting setups. I’ve never been in one with a single overhead light. Instead the room is illuminated by 20 smaller wall lights each with their own switch combination.

Smelled like black mold, lights didn't work, bathroom door didn't even shut. I was also offered [adult workers] and [illegal substances] before I even made it to my room.

Husband kept trying to get the tv to work, even though it was 30 feet away. Also - floor to ceiling windows do NOT block any noise and there was a fire station right across the street from us.

I’ve always slept in dark, dark rooms. Our current bedroom has blackout blinds.

For anyone wondering, this place is in Edmonton, Canada.

It gives you a 5-minute free trial and then requires a fee per hour of use.

Checked in to my fair field hotel after work took a shower wanted to change the water coming out the shower head to a jet messed around with it couldn't get it to changed noticed a button looking thing pressed an out pops a battery pack... im like wtf the batteries are all gross and the turn the shower head an out comes a cup of rust water. What is going on... reporting to front desk.

I was told by the front desk that this was a known issue in some of the rooms since their renovation. The phone in my room also doesn’t work- another known issue from the same reno. Staff didn’t seem to see it as a problem though? No compensation or even apology.

Literally two bites.

The host told us to search for room 22, not by the small numbers.

This is in rural australia too, so there's no mobile data reception to fall back on. Good thing I had some movies downloaded to keep me occupied.

So I’ll give you a little update. I am here from germany for a nice relaxing vacation in Italy in a 4 star hotel (the 4 stars here would be more like 3 in Germany) This happened on our 3rd day after the cleaning staff had already cleaned the room a few times and provided new linen. I had first dried my hair with the towel and then my body, when I noticed a scratching on my side and then saw that there was a pin stuck in the towel. Luckily nothing more happened to me as the scratch didn’t really hurt anymore.

I immediatly took photos and a short video of this and went down to the reception. They told me that they couldn’t do anything because the laundry was handled by an external company, but they would let them know. I told them, that this could be so much worse for me or other guests and this should not, cannot happen again. They then told me to send them an email with the details, the photos and my contact informations so they could take care of it. I probably should have been a bit more persistent, but this had never happened to me before and I didn’t want to go full karen mode.

This is the answer I got from the hotel:

"Dear Mr. , We would like to apologize again for this incident. Our linen is supplied by the industrial laundry. Unfortunately, we are unable to lay out all the towels to check their condition as they are already folded and ready for use. We will forward photos and inform the laundry and ask them to take more care when packing and folding. We will also ask our staff to take more care when changing linen. Thank you for your understanding. Yours sincerely"

So now i am debating what to do. I would write that this is the least they have to do. And that I couldn’t care less how they do their laundry and bring it to the rooms. I give my money to the hotel for a reasonable stay and not to the cleaning company. And if they don’t accommodate me, I would take legal action.
