8 Filthy Practices That Hotels Try To Hide From You

Just like every business that involves customer service in any way, hotels have quite a few nasty skeletons in their seemingly spotless closets. These dirty secrets include things ranging from bed bugs to dirty glasses and maids trying on your expensive lingerie.

It’s about time these shady practices got exposed!

1. Putting meat in your vegetarian food.

Oh, so you’re a vegetarian and want the hotel kitchen to serve you vegetarian food? You’re better off dining in some decent restaurant or buying vegan snacks at a grocery store. Even though the hotel food looks all right, it will usually be cooked with eggs, chicken stock, and all the things you don’t want in your dinner.

2. Bed bugs.

Unlike cockroaches, which could be annoying and are most definitely unsanitary, bed bugs do bite and are small enough to hide in your clothes and unleash hell on you and your family when you come back home. The worst part is that almost all hotels, regardless of the star number, have dealt with these nasty buggers at some point, and you’re never 100% sure the problem was solved. It’s the paranoia that hits the hardest.

3. Safeguard your fancy clothes, jewelry, and accessories.

This may not be a widespread occurrence, but some maids have come forward about putting on the clients’ fancy clothes. Even more, have been caught red-handed by the guests and managers. It’s not really a crime if the maids do this, but it’s one small step from being one.
