Used toilet paper in the garbage?!?

[WDWBarb]

I know this is pretty common in places that experience low water pressure or have septic tanks. Growing up, my best friend's parents insisted that paper be put in the trash (they had a septic tank). I loved visiting her family, but never stayed long.

That is just nasty.

I would find another place to stay.

I never flush everytime I go unless, like the saying goes, it's brown.

We all know how diaper pails smell, why would adults want to participate in that as well?

I'm all for water conservation and flushing is a huge problem with water waste but that can easily be solved by not flushing everytime you go.

I doubt they force anyone to do it, so I don't want to take away from the good things about this motel. 1. Hot tub and pool (yay) 2. You can watch the fireworks from the motel pool area pretty well. 3. Very close to the parking for DL 4. $50.00 for a 2 queen bed room with fridge and microwave. I figure for $50 a night in the off season I can afford to put up with the idea that they would like guests to do this. They never have mentioned anything about charging if we don't, and we haven't had any problems with the plumbing so far.*crosses fingers*

I'd be finding a different hotel.

That's disgusting. Unacceptable. I think the hotels these days saying things like, "leave your towels to help us conserve" are just a ploy for the hotel to save $ not to save the earth. It sounds like the same thing, just a different method.

I would stay in a different hotel. That is asking too much of their hotel guests.

I have seen a sign like that in the ladies room at a local Chinese restaurant, shortly after they opened. I complied with their request, but it felt weird and unsanitary.

Soon after the sign disappeared. I think the health dept. maybe had something to do with that.

Now I agree with hotels on that one. It takes a lot of water, electricity, and soap to wash towels from hundreds of guests daily. If some guests are willing to hang up and re-use a bath towel it does save on all those things. I will always use a bath towel 2-3 times before using a fresh one.

That rate tells me a few things. Either old, has plumbing issues, bars on the windows. Oh, and you can bet I would be checking for bedbeds!!

Unless that's a Priceline rate, I would be finding a different hotel!!!

 

[Robindianne]

This is how they do it in Greece.

 

[Silent1CB]

How do you know about the sign if you haven't checked in yet? Is it on their website?

Did you check reviews of the hotel? Like on tripadvisor.com? I'm really curious about this "deal". lol

 

[SondraC]

My dh's ex does this too!! Every time my step-daughter comes I have to remind her to put it in the toilet!!! And I do mean that they put all used toilet paper in the trash, none in the toilet.

Also, she lives in Southern California and this is what her family has always done.

 

[nskjerven]

my DH told this to our girls....I can only imagine what their teachers and friends parents think.

I'll tell ya GROSS

A friend of DS doesn't flush when he pees here - we are all grossed out by this practice and I don't care who thinks this is okay I think it still smells bad

 

[Ephany]

This is how they do it in Greece.

We went to a restaurant in Naples once where the bathroom was a small tiled room with a hole in the floor. There were splatter patterns all around the hole from 'hovering'. Thankfully, that was by far the worst bathroom experience I've ever had overseas. I'd be rather skeeved out by a motel here in the US asking this though. I know what people do in their own homes is personal, but wouldn't the health department frown on this hotel requesting this?

Naw, around DL you can find some good rates. Motel 6 would be one you can get for around that rate; but they just renovated and I'm having a hard time believing that it might be them. $59 gets you a room at HoJo if you get the Entertainment book rate directly through their hotel. But I know it's not them.

They are already there. At the hotel, but going to DL tomorrow. From what the posts say.

 

[dislaney]

If I am paying for a hotel, I want to be able to flush. The whole idea of this gives me the heebie jeebies! YUCK!

 

[lotzasunshine]

We are already in the motel, it is a national chain, and it was a deal on expedia. It is a nice place on Disneyland Dr. The tp thing is my only complaint, and like I said, it's not like they enforce it.

A few years ago, we got a new student in my preschool class who had just moved here from Mexico. The first time I took her to the bathroom, she tried to put her toilet paper in the garbage can. She didn't speak much English so I motioned to her to put it in the toilet. She insisted on putting it in the garbage but I finally convinced her it was OK to flush it. A few months later, we took a Disney cruise to Mexico. We went to a restaurant in Matzatlan and I noticed a sign in the restroom saying not to flush your toilet paper. It finally clicked what the little girl was doing. She had probably never flushed toilet paper before and was reluctant to do it.

But at a motel in Anaheim? I just can't see it! It probably has some really old plumbing that can't handle much. I've seen signs asking you not to flush feminine supplies, but never TP!

 

[luvmyfam444]

I'd find somewhere else to stay.

 

[Silent1CB]

If I have the right hotel, its rated #67 out of 107 hotels in Aneheim on tripadvisor. I don't even think I would have stayed there for a DAY.
Reviews about ants, bugs, and smelly room.

But no one has mentioned the toilet paper.
Maybe its just your room or some rooms?

Glad you are happy with your deal. If I have the right place, I would have found a different place simply on the #67 out of 107. But that's just me.
