Strange things found when checking in to room
 

I checked into a Fairfield Inn on Saturday night with my family. Imagine my surprise when I found a full set of dentures soaking in a cup next to the ice bucket. Some how the maid had cleaned the room, and missed them. I am just curios how the guy before me managed to forget them. That was quite a change from the normal Platinum check in gift that I get.

I was wondering what strange things others have found in there room.

I would think it's hard to forget your teeth! :D

At the NYC Marriott Marquis we found a bag of pot! My husband flushed it.

Found some used underwear somewhere else in a drawer.

I found a freshly cleaned suit hanging in the closet once. It didn't take too long to discover that the previous guest had checked out before his dry cleaning was delivered. They delivered it, anyway, not knowing he was gone. I checked the size before calling the front desk. (Just kidding!)

Lots of crazy little "stuff" over the years, but mostly clothes.

Once, in Boston, the drawers will literally filled with womens items - some of which were quite interesting.

Never found any money! :D

I have checked into three rooms in 20 years that had luggage in the room. Each time, they had to give me a new room and were apologetic. I was just happy the person was not in the room when I entered.

Does a guest already in the room qualify as strange? If so, that's happened to me in the past.

If it's personal items only, nothing more unusual than a Readers Digest, which came in handy for pool-side reading.

Well for those wishing for more adult reading materials...... :D

other items found in hotel rooms

Does Finding 2 guests in a room count?
 

Marriott property in NYC, computer problems at the front desk. Given room key and off I went opened door, walked past bathroom and saw two people enjoying each other quite a bit, took a second look and left. Back in lobby waited for the same person, she was surprised to see me back. I thanked her for providing the entertainment and told her I thought I had to go to times square for a live sex show. She then checked me into a new room with no one in it (this was a promise) and it was the best hotel room I ever stayed in J W Marriott Suite. :D ^ :-: :cool: :D

I stayed at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront about 4 years ago. They have the rooms with a snack and drink bar built into the drawers. You have to request a key or combination to open the snack bar. The prices were ridiculous. However, one day, I came back after my room was cleaned and found a bag of cookies on the drawer (the same type found in the snack bar). I called management and told them about it just to make sure I wouldn't be charged for anything.

In June 2005, I went to Miami, FL and stayed at the Courtyard Miami Downtown. I came back to the room one Sunday and found that the sliding door to the balcony was open and the desk chair was moved all the way to the sliding door. Someone (apparently the maid is my guess) left a glass with a cigarette in it on the desk. I reported this to management and they were apologetic, and that was about it. Nothing was taken, but it seems someone was taking a break.

Thats why I always use the dead bolt when I'm in my room. I wouldn't want to be the cause of anyone's nightmares. :eek:

Gee....where do I begin.

The most recent was last week and the "used" Q-tip sitting on the sink in the bathroom of the Chicago Downtown Marriott Magnificent Mile! Second most recent was at the Newark, CA Courtyard this past fall where the last guest in the room I was given had left a grossly "over-ripe" cheap shirt hanging in the closet. The whole room smelled rank because of it, and I was moved. Then there was the half cup of coffee and a half-consumed bagel in a (non-Marriott) hotel just outside of Toronto a couple of years back...which made for a rather startling welcome! As did the unemptied trash can! Several other incidents too gross/mundane/somehwere-in-between to mention.

And yes, I've found money....if you count change in the upholstery of sofas and chairs.

But my favorite was what found ME one time. Holiday Inn Airport in New Orleans, in the mid-80s. Checked in on a hot Saturday afternoon after a long drive, and decided I could use a cool, refreshing shower. Ten minutes later, as I stepped out of my shower....I heard the door open and here came a guy carrying his bride across the threshold! Fortunately, I had a towel around my waist!

I don't know who was more stunned....them or me...but to this day I've often
wondered about how that marriage came out! Turned out to be a couple from Oklahoma. Seems the front desk had mistakenly put me in what was supposed to have been their room.

I almost got walked in once (deadbolt stopped it) when I was in the room enjoying someone.

The were trying to deliver my laundry and ignored the DND sign on the door after knocking and receiving no answer. So, they figured they could just come in. Since it would be uncomfortable for everyone involved, I did not complain :)

I have also checked into a room (not Marriott) that had a toy water gun and used bath robe. Moved to another room, dropped off my camera equipment, came back could not open the door and all my stuff disappeared (ended up at the front desk) after security opened the door. The hotel (Tropicana in LAS) must have had room allocation problems that day. Ended up in a suite.

I am surpried no one said condoms....

Most outrageous find was a bullet!!!

Well, actually... On checking in, I noticed a bit of a divet in the pillow and quilt on bed. I had to p*** like a racehorse when I arrived. Opened the lid to the loo, and there was a condom floating there. I think the maid may have had a quickie before I arrived. Check Please!


:eek:

I don't know if I'm lucky or boring, but in over 1,000 hotel nights to date I have never walked in on anyone doing the wild thing, found porno mags in the drawers, or gotten someone else's dry cleaning delivered to my room. I probably just jinxed myself--I'll let you know after next weekend's stay in Philadelphia!

A pair of old lady panties in a corner on the floor of my room in the Embassy Suites at DIA, within one week of it's grand opening.

1. A pair of panties and party glitter sprinkled on the sofa at the Renaissance Hollywood hotel on New Year's Day 2002 (one week after hotel grand opening). Evidently the suite hosted quite the party New Year's eve :D

2. A small fold up magnifying glass with a stash of Viagra hidden inside at the Renaissance Oak Brook hotel.

3. A naked man laying on the bed watching TV at a Best Western in Gillette Wyoming. In this case I immediately backed out of the room, proceeded back to the front desk, cut to the front of the check in line and asked "Excuse me, but would it be possible to get a room without a naked man on the bed?"

Six pack of beer ( I don't drink).....

THAT'S exactly why I take the spread off and throw it in the corner first thing.

Why can't I be that lucky???

How 'bout no beds ---

Bob H

A gentlemen's jammy bottoms hanging from the hook on the bathrrom door

Mind telling us the full story???

The beds had been removed and the room used for a sales display -- they gave me a different room.

I've also had no towels, left over cold coffee, unmade beds, other people's luggage, etc etc.

and I've had maids fill the ice bucket for me on a multi-night stay.

Bob H

3 bottles of Miller Lite in the fridge last week.

And like the other poster who found beer, I don't drink either.

Luckily this was bottled water and not actual beer, then! ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist the jab at wimpy beer.)

Toenail clippings IN the bed! Ick Ick Ick!

Does finding a SMELL count???

I've already posted about the rank aroma I encountered a few months back at the Newark, CA CY. But there was an object (an "overripe" shirt) that went with it.

This past Thursday, I was at the SHS at Eden Prairie, MN (Minneapolis). Checked into the room/suite....and everything seemed fine. About an hour later, I was sitting on the sleeper sofa and noticed a distinct but VERY obvious odor. Apparently a previous guest had "become ill" in the area.

Since I had already unpacked my things and had my laptop up and running, etc. I did not want to change rooms. I merely moved away from that part of the room, and the smell was no longer noticeable. It was also not noticable from the bed.

At checkout, when the lady at the front desk asked if everything was ok with my stay, I told her about the problem and suggested the room be taken out of service for re-cleaning. She was absolutely mortified. She apologized profusely and offered to credit me with an extra 1,000 MR points.

So far some Ladies Lingere - very sexy. Certain gentlemens magazines and a used pair of socks in the trash can.

Today, found three pair ladies underwear(large) and pair of socks behind bottom drawer. This was the first time I had looked. :)

Off topic but the spouse and I LOVE the Champps & Red Stone grill just across the street from the hotel....

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

Welcome to FlyerTalk, wpbdave!

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."

Marriott Aruba - vibrator in drawer.

At a hotel I worked at that had kitchens with ovens, we found a BOX of bullets - in the oven. the room checked-out that morning and was occupied by US diplomat.

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.

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