Marriott Miami Biscayne
 
Travel for biz, never did i think about this until i saw this post. seems very bizzarre, voyeuristic and at the same time like a box of crackerjacks.

Nothing behind dressers, but lifted the mattress and was greeted by the ghost of condoms past. Unopened but yet expired Trojan Magnum and an empty bag of cheetos..... not sure what to make of it, i guess the cheetos won.

back to lurking

That reminds me of a joke. Unfortunately, while not dirty, it is a bit risqué for a family site.

Well, all right . . .

This guy goes into the doctor's office. "What's seems to be the problem?" asks the doctor.

"My penis has turned orange," the guy replies.

"Let's see," says the doctor, so the guy drops his trou and indeed, his member is orange!

"That's very strange," says the doctor. "Have you been doing anything unusual?"

"Naw," says the guy. "I just retired so I don't have anything to do but sit around in my underwear eating Cheetos and watching porn tapes on TV."

A small swimming pool.

This was at a motel in Orlando. When I made the reservation, I was asked if I wanted a regular room for $60, deluxe for $62, super deluxe for $64, superior for $66, super superior for $68. Being the big spender that I am :), I went for the super superior, not even asking what the differentiation was, and they never volunteered the information.

Upon entering the room, I looked to my right and admired the charming cinderblock architecture. When I looked to my left, I noticed the enclosed 10 foot or so long pool. My first reaction was, darn, had I known, I would have broght a bathing suit. Then, of course, I realized it was unnecessary @:-).

It was interesting comparing notes with my business associates who had other rooms at the motel. No one else had a pool, but one of them had a very interesting set of shower heads in their bathroom. This led us all to ponder whether this motel had always been geared toward the business traveler, or had changed their focus when the client we all were visiting across the street moved in.

Marriott RenCen in Detroit. I walked in and there was no toilet in the bathroom.

OK, who checks sofas for money? Never would stick my fingers in cracks of sofas :confused:

Found a giant vibrator and a pack of poppers in night stand drawer years ago. Called housekeeping to remove vibrator...I threw poppers down toilet.

I probably just jinxed myself--I'll let you know after next weekend's stay in Philadelphia!


Mrs M and I walked in on a couple having sex in a room in Louisville many years ago.

Hmm... What was the motel called? That does sound curious...

I also have walked in a room to find no beds, apparently the room was going to be used the next day for a meeting of sorts and since I was a walk in, the night clerk must have not seen that it was being used.

The WORST find was a delayed find. I checked in a Fairfield, sat down at the desk to knock out some e-mails and figured while I am at it I'd turn the tube on for company. Couldnt find the remote. Oh well back to work... Then I decided to call the front desk and tell them I needed a remote. They were unable to bring me one right away but I could come get it. Anyway around midnight I decided to call it a night, and pulled back the sheets only to find the original remote between the sheets. I was tired and blew it off. About 2:00 in the morning I sat up straight and relized the sheets must not have been changed. The maid would have had to put the bottom sheet on, put the remote on the bed then put the top sheet over it. (Hard to miss that black thing in the middle of a white king bed).

I got moved, got my money back and some points for my trouble. They called the house for a week, but my wife kept telling them that I wanted nothing to do with talking to them. They even offered a bunch of free nights but there are too many other choices out there than to have to risk their lazy houskeeper.

Actually, this may count as strange. Walked into the Contemporary at Walt Disney World (Restaraunt, not room) with my 5 year old grand daughter on her birthday......and found bdschobel sitting there with his son ;)

No fair!!! Not a "room"! But I do agree that I'm strange. :)
