Second full day of our Centre Parcs holiday, just pulled back the bedroom curtains and noticed a tube of lubricating gel tucked in next to the frame.

I'm assuming this is a secret MN message and if so hello! I won't be partaking of any bum sex this time but thanks for thinking of me.

This led me to wonder, what's the weirdest thing you've found when arriving at a hotel, rental etc?

Large toe nail clippings on the balcony of a very expensive spa hotel! 😷😵

We once arrived in a Blackpool bed and breakfast - the room was immaculate, honestly it was, but balanced ever so carefully on the light switch were three very waxy used cotton buds.
Wierd.

Not from centre Parcs though

A member of staff asleep in our bed and an unflushed turd in the toilet, which I assume he left there before his nap.

He was very irate about the fact that we had 'opened the wrong room' with our key and disturbed him.

Damn these are grim; I'll take the lube over nail clippings, dirty ear buds and poop anyday!

Not accommodation but I had a hire car once for a few days and found Oakley sunglasses, a pack of potty liners, 2 packs of babywipes and an MP3 player in the overhead storeage things. I gave them back to the rental place when I returned the car.

I also found sunglasses, a complete pack of colouring pencils, someone's Geography homework (dated 6 months previously) and a bobblehat when I bought a second hand car once. Car seemed to have been thoroughly valeted but they'd not found the underfloor storeage or secret driver's cubbyhole. Kept all those.

A damp 'she-wee' expanding bottle thing in the compartment under the passenger seat in a nearly-new second hand car that I bought.

A packet of ham in a desk drawer.

My mum found a bottle of piss in her Butlins chalet.
Weirdly...very close to the en suite...

Papergirl1968 · 29/08/2018 14:06

An unopened pack of black knickers, my size, that had slipped down the back of the drawers in self catering house.
I kept them, figuring they could have been there for months.

Many many many years ago In a very dodgy hotel somewhere north of the midland! A bag of heroin, toe nail clippings and party streamers! Needless to say I didn’t even get in the bed! Slept in my clothes and used every item I had as a blanket! It was November and bloody freezing! If I hadn’t been for a hen night And was a poor student I would have been staying elsewhere!

I stayed in an airport hotel once as had a a very early flight, got up at silly o clock to get ready to leave and noticed that the bedspread on the bed I had been sleeping in all night had dried shit on it. Not a normal shit either but one left by someone who clearly had some bowel issues and complete with a bit of hair (arse hair? pube?).

I am guessing they used the bedspread as emergency toilet paper in the night and the cleaners don't replace the bedspreads but only the sheets underneath. Still not sure how the cleaners missed it though. Grim.

Hotel sent me a generic how was your stay feedback form after my stay and I provided a lengthy complaint. They never replied. (Why ask for feedback then?). Left a review and photographic evidence on tripadvisor and google maps and they didn't reply to those either (although they replied to other reviews).

On holiday in July there was a used condom under the bed Envy

That could well of been one of my old cars, always used to forget to check under the mats in the storage bits.

A congealed sausage on the grill pan in a caravan and someone's toothpaste spit all over the tap.

Moved into our house which had been repossessed and the door put through. The door frame was in a cupboard. Found a white gold mans ring with 9 diamonds in, in the rubber of the washing machine which paid for a new front door.

I used to own a Bed and Breakfast.

I could tell tales that would make you weep.

bouncydog · 29/08/2018 14:22

Set of false teeth under the passenger seat of a brand new car I’d just collected from the garage!

Finnifinola · 29/08/2018 14:22

A watermelon under the seat of a hire car.

TwittleBee · 29/08/2018 14:22

A big bag of weed, around the size of tin of quality streets, very very tightly shoved into the (5*) hotel safe. Not actually sure how it wasn't noticed by the cleaners previously as the room stunk of weed too!

CircleofWillis · 29/08/2018 14:26

Rooberoobe how did you know it was heroin? I wouldn't know it from baby talc?

Tighnabruaich · 29/08/2018 14:26

Cindersdonegood please tell!

sulflower · 29/08/2018 14:28

We've been lucky enough not to find any undesireables, thankfully! One time we traded in a car, picked up the new one while daughter was at nursery. Cue hysterics when she realised we hadn't saved her precious stones collection. Unless the valets were pretty good someone was going to find a heap of dirty old stones in various orifices in the car, including under the seats.

Why would this be a mumsnet message?

MaisyPops · 29/08/2018 14:31

Not a holiday rental, but cleared out someone's desk after they left and found a reusable washable sanitary pad (clean but still!) 🤢😷

A bag of heroin, toe nail clippings and party streamers!

You didn't think to sell the heroin??!!
