Only in the Atl... Actually I'm sure this happens everywhere. This was all over over the local news a few weeks back, just gross. Glad when I use to travel for work I used those single-use cups they showed.

My sister worked one summer cleaning hotel rooms and from the stories she told me about what they would find and how well some of the staff cleaned I became paranoid to use blankets, have a bath, or drink out of the glasses at any hotel I went to. And I am not a germ phobe.

If you click on the follow up in the article below there is more.

I never watch the news, so it's new to me. I guess I'd better start watching it. lol

Friends of yours?


RaeRae - that video was horrid. Interesting, though. We all knew this went on, didn't we? But it's a different matter to actually see it for yourself. Yuck.

I would say it would go on in the cheaper hotels, but the Ritz... I would have NEVER thought of it there.

I blame the help all the way. It's cutting corners. I could NEVER do that if I worked there. I have a conscience and wouldn't want it done to me. They are lazy and have so many rooms to do I'm guessing they just want to hurry and not do a proper job. I don't see how you can blame it on the management.

while you're at it, don't sit on the toilet seat, touch the light switches or doorknobs, etc.
