Dirty Sheets NOT at WDW

[Tigger&Belle]

Mods, if you need to move this please do. It's not something that happened at WDW, but this topic has been discussed here before so thought I would mention my experience.

I brought my daughter out of town this weekend for a college open house. Since the town is 3 hours away we decided to go up Friday evening so we wouldn't have to leave at "o dark thirty" Saturday morning for the 8:30 AM open house.

Anyway, we stayed at a Comfort Inn and even though the hotel was going throught a rehab, our room was fine and I'd gotten a good AAA rate.

My DD went to pull the covers back before going to bed and the pillow was hairy and dirty. So disgusting! We're talking lots of little hairs and visible dirt! The sheets also had a lot of hair. She called the front desk and they said they'd try to find more sheets. LOL Try and find them?

A man showed up with sheets, I'm assuming the gen manager who'd just stopped by the hotel, not actually on duty. He handed me the sheets and told me that there wouldn't be a charge for the ngiht, which was good (saved me from raising holy heck). I then showed him the pillow case and he was pretty disgusted to. I wanted him to see I wasn't talking about a hair or two that could have fallen off the maids head, but extremely dirty sheets that obviously hadn't been changed before we checked into the room.

I'm hoping that the maid was traced down and given a reprimand. The hotel did handle a yucky situation well, so I can give them crediit for that. I can't say that this is my first trouble at a Comfort inn/Suites, but I've also had good experiences at some properties.

I did not sleep that night since I kept obsessing about dirty sheets, bedspreads, etc. (not to mention I was thinking about paying college tuition in a year ).

DH's company just changed the hotel they use while in Cleveland. They went from a nice Fairfield Inn, to a DISGUSTING Clarion. He actually videotaped a couple of his rooms and I could not believe how bad they were. Blood stains on the sheets, floor and walls. Dead bugs all over the floor. Pee splattered on the toilet and floor. One room had no bedding on the beds - all of it was thrown in a heap in the bathtub.

One of the guys actually had to go to the ER in Cleveland because he got bitten up so bad by bugs in the hotel.

So, you're not the only one to encounter a gross hotel room, not by a long shot.

grinningghost, you are very correct that it happens! Too bad that your DH's company changed hotels. It's not as if there weren't alternatives.

I've had one other bad Comfort Inn/Suites time and that was on our road trip to Florida. The room looked like it either needed a rehab or was in the middle of one, which was one thing. Turned out the room was filthy--the bed was dirty, the shower had soap that had hairs all over it, etc. We noticed these things as soon as we were in the room and were moved to another room. Still not a good room, but not terrible. We stayed for the night, but we should have moved to another hotel (something that I will do if I'm ever in that situation again). Turned out that that property had the AAA recognition pulled--you could see on the sign that they used to have the AAA logo, but it was removed.

We stayed at a Comfort Suites in Sarasota that was wonderful, though, so it's not a company-wide problem.
And at least the company did handle the situation well this last time.
