1. “Tell the hotel staff if you don’t like your room, or if it’s not clean. They’ll most likely be able to get you a different room. It’s best to make sure the room is to your liking before you unpack. This saves you (and the cleaning staff) some time!”
2. “Don’t touch the remote” (at least not without gloves or disinfectant first)
3. Those walls are not soundproof (didn’t you already figure that out when you could hear your neighbor’s conversation?!?)
4. Wash those water glasses before you use them: “Some hotels clean the water glasses with furniture polish. It’s great for sparkling glasses, not so much for your health!”
5. “I worked for the Ritz Carlton for a few years,” reported one hotel employee. “In my orientation, the HR rep told everyone that each employee has a special allowance of $1,500 to make sure they can help the guests feel like their stay would be memorable.” (Is that $1500 per guest???)
6. “Hotel pools are highly chlorinated, which kills most bacteria. We can’t say the same for the tables and lounge chairs, however.” Isn’t that why everyone lays down a towl first?
