This is disturbing. Will keep that in mind.

Those glasses are almost always spotlessly clean at places like Hilton and Hyatt. Sometimes, there's even a note saying the glasses have been "sanitized" or "disinfected" for our safety and comfort or something... whatever that means. Anyways, I find those hotel glasses to be far less sketchy than what you get at restaurants. I mean, some bars will just dunk used glasses in a tub of water twice and call it done.

I've actually caught on to this concept myself over the years of travels. Problem is, I don't know what to do with that info. I can't fathom that dust under the bed could be grounds for requesting a room change... would people do that?
