I don't often come away from a business trip making a mental note to never stay at a certain hotel again. Unfortunately, this time was one of those times.
Suffice to say, housekeeping needs a major intervention from mgt. The shower had body hairs present from a previous occupant, and the desk/work surface was visibly dirty with marks from spilled brown liquid. I didn't discover these concerns until after returning from a long day of work, but I was pretty disgusted so I proceeded to take a closer look. The closet doors had a broad smear of some type, and the interior surface of the room's door also appeared to have vestiges of something unsavory.
Look, I get it...hotel rooms are used for parties from time to time. That's 100% fair. I happen to travel on business, and I pretty much work all day & evening only spending a couple of waking hours in the room before I fall asleep.
I think the most disappointing aspect here was that I gave housekeeping the benefit of the doubt because times are so tough for hourly employees & low skill/low wage resources these days. I walked out of the room, found a housekeeping cart, borrowed some paper towels and some disinfectant, and then went to my room to clean the areas of the desk which I needed to use. I left the short & curlies in the shower as a litmus test for the following day's housekeeping effort to prove against.
Day 2, pubes still present, wet washcloth clumped in the sink, bed not made, trash was emptied.
Underwhelming.
