FMCowboy Posted November 9, 2007 #26 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Ok, now I want to vomit. I just got back from a day business trip in Boston and used two of the glass glasses at the Doubletree. I'll never look at them the same way again. eeewwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixCruiser Posted November 9, 2007 #32 Share Posted November 9, 2007 And to think that I had vague negative thoughts when I checked into a Comfort Suites in College Park, Maryland a couple of weeks ago when I saw plastic, wrapped-in-cellophane "glasses" in the bathroom. NOW I am glad! ;) :eek: :) LOL!! I have worked in several hotels and will never use a glass in a hotel room or in a ship's cabin. It's either soda by the can or water in a new bottle :D I cannot even read the article for fear of getting sick... ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoMom!! Posted November 9, 2007 #33 Share Posted November 9, 2007 OK - if I bring a can of Lysol (yes, I know it won't get everything) for sufarces - will it explode in my suitcase on the airplane? I was wondering that about our spray (not puup) sunscreen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskatab Posted November 9, 2007 #36 Share Posted November 9, 2007 We always take our cups for the cabin and sometimes take styrofoam cups. I will always take my own disposable cup now. That was really gross and makes me wonder what else they are doing we havent seen yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravlGrl Posted November 9, 2007 #38 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Ok, that YouTube one was really needed for a laugh after the real one on FOX. Can you say, "GROSS!" Anyone know if they have aired the follow-up to it? They mentioned they were going visit additional hotels the next night. Just curious if they've shared additional info about those additional hotels??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianTom Posted November 9, 2007 #43 Share Posted November 9, 2007 They do bring up a good point in the video. How many times do you see the housekeeping cart with clean glasses loaded up? It also has me thinking about the cruise ships. I will look closely next week on board the Navigator. I noticed this on the Mariner last week. I had a bunch of soda cups stacked up in my room on the desk. The room attendant came in and only took the ones from the bathroom away to his cart. When I looked at the cart to see the replacements for the glasses there were none. That is when I realized the room attendant is responsible for "washing" the glasses and returning to the same holder in the bath room. He had nothing to properly wash them with in the cabin sink. I decided that moment that I would not drink out of those glasses either on a ship or in a hotel unless they were wrapped and disposable. Also, I had the worst cabin attendant I have ever had. The first day on board I did not have my flip flops on in the cabin and got an old contact lens stuck to my foot and neither of us wear contacts. When I looked closely, the carpet was filled with hair and sand etc. it was gross. I asked him to vacuum and he did. After that I never saw or heard a vacuum on my hall the rest of the week. The housekeepers are only as good as what they consider cleanliness to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs_ucf Posted November 9, 2007 #45 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I used to work in housekeeping when I was an intern. I can say that when <i>I</i> cleaned rooms, I would never let things like this happen. Its not everyone nor everywhere. If it does happen, its usually a matter of the housekeepers not having the resources. Sometimes it was impossible to find clean glasses in my building, so I went to others... some housekeepers did not. Not that that makes anyone feel better. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rolled the lint roller back and forth about 3 times and the tape of the lint roller was filled with dirt and tons of hairs! It was disgusting! I took a few pictures of the lint roller and I’ll try and post them tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, every time I am on a cruise ship I get the soda package. Everytime I get that tall mug. Everytime I wish I brought dish detergent to clean it. Everytime I promise to write it down to remember for next time. Every "next time" I forget to bring dish detergent. If you brought a little of that you could wash it yourself and be sure it was clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
