At a meeting for 2 days in Rapid City SD (don’t ask), and just gross overall feel to the DoubleTree on 5th.
Detached carpet … Stained (yes, walking on it was sticky. That’s why I carry camping slippers in my suitcase). Hard water stains in bathroom sink faucet (that water’s going in my mouth, yo).
Ah – nothing like the smell of fresh roasting, pre-packaged, stale, coffee coming from a flimsy, dinky single-serve in-room ‘machine’.
Well that, and being greeted by a dead tenant on the way to the bathroom.

Visiting Utah stores this week. Was in Logan last night.
This is what greeted me upon filling up a glass before bed …
At Poco Diablo in Sedona for a VP Meeting. This fellow greeted me upon returning to my room on night one.
2nd posting to Gross Things in Hotels. Looking down whilst sitting in my chair at the desk.
I’ll note: I put a towel over these things when I see ’em.

So … After years and years of traveling, I have decided to create a new ‘category’ on dope … “Gross Things in Hotels”.
I’ve traveled practically every week of the past 12-15 years (12 certainly, 15 maybe not every week). With my prior employer, there were questionable hotels even on paper. With my current employer, I’m able to stay in pretty respectable spots. But without fail, I find a ‘nugget’ or two during my stay that puts most off. I can deal with most issues, and can say I’ve only demanded a different room just a few times over the past 10ish years. But thought, “why not collect pics of what I see?”. May be interesting.
My primary area of coverage currently is NM/El Paso, but do travel to PHX consistently. Also CO, UT, OR, WA and maybe soon elsewhere.
But here’s the first post … from the desk chair at Hilton, UTEP Campus, EP TX:
