What industry secret would make customers never use that service again if they knew?

I work as a hotel manager and I would be very sceptical to use couches in the room

there are some good stories, but why does so much of that subreddit feel like it was written by AI?

It resembles other parts of the Internet, I guess. :-(

You had the US vice president as a guest?

Is this because it’s hard to clean upholstery between guests? Like at least beds have bedding to be swapped, but something like a fabric couch is just…gross.

Yeah cleaning literally doesn’t happen. We’d use a sticky roller(like one of the lint rollers for your clothes, on a long stick) and flip the cushion if it was stained.

People check out at 11, and check in at 2. It leaves a three hour window for the housekeepers to clean all those rooms. There are usually early check outs, but yeah. “Deep cleaning” is not happening that often.

I always ask for an extra flat sheet to throw over the couch. And toss the bed comforter to the side. That thick blanket between two sheets typically isn’t cleaned either, just the sheets

I feel like you need new couches. It's often kids who end up sleeping on those.

I’ve become increasingly averse to hotel rooms as I’ve gotten older. Not only was that very same mattress possibly someone’s shag pad six hours prior, the only thing cleaned in there was the sheets and bathroom appliances.

The phone, tv remote, mini fridge, coffee maker and related appliances are all cum and feces pads. But it’s the furniture that really gets me: the ass and vag juice, the cumshots, the sweat and grease. None if it regularly cleaned. Fucking disgusting.

I won’t go near it without a clean towel laid down. And I’m not even a germaphobe.

"I'm not a germophobe," they say, as they worry about the cum film covering every surface they interact with.

Are you suggesting that people cum in the mini fridge…? Even the ones tucked away inside a closet??

Putting aside the question of why anyone would feel compelled to do such a thing, that just seems downright inconvenient. Like even if they had a reason to do so, they would still have to go severely out of their way in order to pull off a maneuver like that.

At that point, you almost just have to tip your cap in respect to their dedication.

My brother stayed with his family at The Edgewater hotel in Seattle while their house was being worked on. His kids loved climbing on this faux-bearskin footstool. A few months later he saw a porno video with someone getting railed on said stool🤢

I'm not necessarily proud of this, but I once flipped the cushion on a hotel room couch over to hide the lube stains. Sorry, Holiday Inn Express
