Worst thing you ever found in a "clean" room

[buzzandwoodysmom07]

I shouldn't be finding this thread so amusing, but I am cracking up right now! We have had most of these things happen to us - we must stay at shody hotels/motels, HUH? We have walked into someone elses's room when they were in the shower - we could have helped ourselves! We have found little kid's underwear on the floor behind the bathroom door - so I'm sure THAT bathroom was cleaned, how do you miss that? The only time that I really complained was when my oldest was almost a year old, we rented a condo in Myrtle Beach, we found hard candies and a bunch of wrappers under the end table, we made them come reclean the condo. Can you say choking hazard? I was paranoid the whole time that we were there that he would fid something else to out in his mouth that they missed. We are leaving in 8 days for our first stay on Disney property so I hope that I don't have any stories when I come back! We can't wait!!!

Our last morning at the BC before we left on the cruise last time, we found the most horrifying thing laying on the floor just inside the front door...

...the bill.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

We stayed at the Contemporary in Nov. for my birthday. We found a little mono-rail toy under the daybed.

This was our first time ever to stay at a delux. I admit, my expectations were high. Our room had a wonderful view of the castle. Everything was fine until....

My daughter threw up on her daybed, the table and on the carpet (in our room). I called mousekeeping told them what happened and asked for new sheets. Mousekeeping came right away and gave me the sheets, along with cleaning solution and wash clothes to clean with. I was really hoping she would have come in to clean or at least help. I guess I can't blame her, I wouldn't want to clean up throw up either. Not even my own kid's. I had already stripped the bed and gave the soiled sheets to her when she came.

I cleaned the table and scrubbed the carpet with the wash cloths. (What a great birthday activity.) I put the cleaning spray and the wash cloths (tied up in a clear plastic garbage bag) by the front door. They were still there when we got back from the parks the next day. YUCK! (mousekeeping had been there and made the beds, and hung fresh towels) I called housekeeping and they came and took the bag away.

Did mousekeeping handle that properly? Should they have cleaned it and then taken all of the soiled items and cleaning products away? Or do you have to clean up your own accidents? What if she had thrown up in the food court? Would they have just brought me a mop?

please don't flame me, I'm not trying to be snooty, I'm honestly asking. I'm pretty easy going....I don't mark sheets or towels or leave crumbs just to see if they find them.

I hope that isn't standard. You sound like a really tidy person, but some people are slobs and I wouldn't want to rely on them cleaning up properly if I were the next person to stay in that room. Ewwwwww!!!!

I say it was your job to clean up as much of it as possible but in daycare, we have to sterilize things that have been vomited on like rugs or furniture. They make sprays and carpet cleaners just for vomit. Mousekeeping should be responsible to disinfect and sterilize the carpets, table, chair and yes take away the soiled linens...maybe they just overlooked the bag of "messies" and thought it was some other stuff. I bet they seee trash bags with stuff inside of them laying around all the time like wet suits or dirty laundry or even toys or games or books or whatever. Definitely should sterilize the area though

I was thinking, "Oh my gosh, I could NEVER do that for a living!" when all of a sudden it dawned on me...I'm a hospital nurse, I do things like that all the time!!

When we checked in at AKL last December, my daughter found a pill on the floor, which on inspection turned out to be a beta-blocker, which is for heart and/or blood pressure problems. We were very thankful she found it instead of our 11-month-old granddaughter. I guess I don't blame housekeeping so much as the person who dropped it...if you drop a pill, look until you find it so that someone small and vulnerable doesn't find it and pop it in his or her tiny little mouth!

I just can't get the hang of that "quote" thing...sometimes I do it right and sometimes I do it very wrong.

The absolute WORST was a "used" pornographic magazine in a drawer. THAT was a difficult complaint to "explain" to guest services. "Good evening sir, there is a disgusting magazine in our bedside nightstand, could you please have someone remove it" YUCK!

Its pretty descusting to think that someone would do such a thing at DISNEY!!!

 

[tiggersmom2]

Found alot of pubic hair at the ASSp once. Must have been a very hairy person *shudder*. We just called mousekeeping and they came right over and cleaned it up.

During our first DVC stay ever, we stayed at SSR in a one bedroom.

Upon arrival, we were not impressed with how clean the shower and whirlpool tub were. Mom had brought a bottle of bleach to soak the tub with before she soaked IN the tub. After soaking the tub with the bleach and water, there became a really nasty brown ring around the tub that had previously looked clean!!

A few hours after finding the ring around the tub, we found a half smoked cigar under the kitchen sink . The scariest part . . . it was in a non-smoking roomv (insert sarcasm here)

Upon checking into our room an hour late (they couldn't get the guy to leave and it must have been the last room available )at the Beach Club, we found a pair of men's dirty whitey tidies in the bathroom, toenail clippings all over the carpet and a chair missing. Must have cleaned in a hurry. We had to call housekeeping 3 times to get someone to clean it up. They offered to move us to a smoking room but we didn't want that. Finally the manager got involved at 9:30 pm and had housekeeping up to our room in two shakes, comped that night and free breakfast at Cape May Cafe. Never did get the chair.

Another year at POR we had a nice clean room, but we could never get our room key to work. Just after we arrived our building was washed with a power sprayer and I think the lock got wet. They kept giving us new keys but we would come back from a long day at the parks and have to walk all the way back to the main building to get someone to unlock it for us. After 4 days they were changing the lock as we moved to the Poly.

Side note; I always pick up our room before we leave for the day. I don't think it's housekeeping's job to pick my stuff up off the floor or the bed.

I am fanatical (okay..obsessive/compulsive) about clean sheets. I immediately strip the covers off a bed when I check in to inspect the sheets and confirm that they are, in fact, fresh. And i always request fresh sheets every day (I am sorry to the enviornment). I will make a tiny mark on the used sheets with a pencil (so I can check them when we return to the room) to reassure myself that the sheets are new. My husband thinks I am crazy, but I can't tell you how many times I have requested new sheets and they were NOT changed. (towels too!)

WDW is usually wonderful about the sheets and towels.

Do you change the sheets at your house EVERY SINGLE day as well??

Nudey magazines in one of the dresser drawers...not good. Glad DS didn't find them first.

Haven't had any issues at Disney but at another hotel the room was clean other than a dried hocker on the side of the tub. Eeewww!

 

[skippyman111]

Lynn I see you have been at the CR several times, did you like it there??

does anyone know about the remodeling situation over there?? We are in a wing room Sept 28 to Oct 3

I called them last week about this...I had read on mousesavers that the entire south garden building would be closed. All 3 CSR's that I talked to didn't know anything about it. DW and I are going on Sept 6-10 and staying there, so we'll see...

 

[MOMOFMNM]

skippy please post a review on your stay in the wing!! I am excited to hear about it as I hear mostly negatives about CR from everywhere I look actually it was my first choice of resorts from the very beginning so I hope it is great!! Please let me know!! thanks~!

This wasn't at a Disney hotel and doesn't really apply but is kind of related and a funny story. On an out of town trip for work we stayed at a hotel in which each room had a balcony seperated by a concrete wall in between them....well all our rooms were in a row and me and a couple of co workers noticed that our balcony doors were unlocked. Well, one of our co workers key didn't work so, while he went to get it fixed my friend climbed onto his balcony and got in his bed under the covers. Needless to say he didn't stay in the dark room where he could see someone squirming around under the covers very long. He darted back out into the hall yelling "WO WO WO". The rest of us were already in the hall rolling in the floor.

Sorry. I know it's not funny, what some people have found, but I can't help but laugh at some of the replies to this thread.

Fortunately, the only things I've ever found, when I've stayed at Disney, was articles of clothing--clean. Once aboard DCL, I found a rolled up pair of baby socks, which I still have, in a drawer in the chest.

The only other thing was a pair of woman's shoes, which I found under the bed, when I stayed at one of the Disneyland hotels. As I was staying in a concierge room, I took those back to the concierge, and I presumed they returned them to the previous occupant of the room.

Just returned from Coronado Springs on June 10th. We checked in and started unpacking...Mouse poop in the drawers!!! We joked that Mickey paid a visit before we got there. We called the front desk and they sent housekeeping to clean up. No apologies...

Overall, we had a good experience at this resort but I was a bit disappointed in how they handled the situation.
