AIBU to assume a Mumsnetter just left our holiday accommodation?

[FarrahMoan]

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?

I know women who will use hotel kettles as a make shift way of cleaning their underwear if they haven't got a spare clean pair.

Not envy

Is it common knowledge?? I was not aware of this.

I wasn't aware of this either - and I work with hotels! BOKE

At a CenterParcs a few years ago we had a fab pair of boob prints on the window of the main bedroom! More detail than I would have though possible!

A pair of underpants in the washing machine in a holiday villa. At least they were clean...

A bowl of horses teeth at least I hope they were horse in a decorative bowl in a holiday cottage.

They must have micro drawers for them to fit into a hotel kettle, which barely holds enough water for two cups of coffee.

@TwittleBee did you hand the weed in?!

Checked into a Travelodge in Manchester and the room reeked of piss. I mean enough to make my eyes water. Went into the bathroom and the showerhead was missing. Just a pipe in the wall. Sitting in the bath was a piss soaked towel.

The front desk moved me pretty sharpish.

I used to work in a hotel and did see some sights!
You had your usual messy room, e.g tags from clothes, empty carriers, packets of sweet wrappers and empty bottle of alcohol everywhere, they can be quickly tidied up.

The worse I encountered was going into a room after a late check out and finding 9-10 used condoms strewn all over the floor I found a few under the bed , one must have been thrown at the wall as it was stuck there and some in the bed. The room STUNK , you could definitely smell the sex in the air, the alcohol smell was potent and food sitting out from night before, curries and kebabs.

It was my room to clean and while I was cleaning other rooms all I could hear all morning was moans moans moans.
After a few hours the woman sounded like she was crying in pain rather than pleasure. I heard the kettle being boiled and thought 'ah they'll have a drink and get going.' I was getting embarrassed walking into corridor and saying bye to leaving customers when all you could hear were screams coming from a room. How this man performed and this woman took it I'll never know. They didn't leave after there drink they carried on.
I was at work from half 8 until half 2.
They must have started about 9ish.

I saw them leave and couldn't believe the woman was walking properly, surely you would be bow legged from that and I bet it wasn't a one off either!!

My boss once found a needle in the kettle!!

When one cleaner opened a door she just saw every bit of furniture destroyed.
Bed was over turned and soaked through, the mirror, glass shelf and sink in bathroom all smashed or cracked.
Things like food and make up smeared on furniture , nearly everything in that room was replaced. And found out that morning police where called in the night because of them.

I was given the day off once as not many rooms were sold the night before so didn't need as many housekeepers, but when I went in the next day I was told a woman took an overdose and was very nearly dead when found.
The woman was found in a room on my floor. I did half of the ground floor she was in one of those rooms. If I wasn't given the day off I would have found her. Awful awful shame to be found by a housekeeper and also feeling that desperate the customer tried to take own life!

Had a 3 yr old and stayed at a popular theme park hotel. Room was immaculate but I'm very thorough! Under the bottom bunk bed I found a tablet/pill. Not a normal paracetamol one either. It could have been perfectly legal prescription medication or something more sinister. Either way, not great in a kids themed section of the very expensive hotel.

They gave me a bottle of wine as an apology. I accepted it graciously!

Cooked pasta in a kettle in NYC. I can only presume they didn’t know what a kettle was for. The rest of the room was spotless.

On a work trip, the main bedroom was clean and tidy but the bathroom had been forgotten, it seemed. This poor person was apparently unable to use taps or flush a toilet. Because the place was full I ended up sitting in the reception area while the housekeeping staff dealt with it, they were very apologetic and it was fine once done, but I did feel bad for the staff. Not a job I would ever want to do, hats off to them!

We went to a naice hotel in the lake District, this was in February and there was only 2 other couples staying. No one was in the next room, we were at the end of a corridor about 1am we woke to a lady having her bottom spanked. After an hour it stopped. We didn't say anything as we thought it was a one off. The next night it was the man's turn to have a sore bum.
This time we asked if anyone was staying in the next room. Silence from the waitress and it never happened again.

There is a great flyer talk thread about stuff found in rooms including:
packet of cash behind headboard
a snake
gun in safe
gimp mask in wardrobe

plus a shit in the bed under the covers

In Southampton for work, usually stayed in one of the big chain hotels near the docks but the normal rooms were all full (some event on) so got put in a supposedly 3* hotel in the centre of town.

The room was filthy, the bath was filthy, there were pubes encrusted onto the sides of the shower gel and shampoo bottles (big pump action family sized bottles half empty, not individual hotel sized ones), half used large block of soap in the bathroom rather than an individual mini tablet. I rinsed the kettle out about 4 times to clear the chunks of limescale that were floating about in it, then realised that the mugs hadn't been cleaned properly - from the looks of it, someone had just sort of swilled a bit of water around & not even chucked it away properly, there was dried stained sugar stuck to the bottom.

When I complained, they grumpily said there were no other rooms, but would throw in breakfast for free - which my employer had already paid for as B&B price. They "generously" offered me dinner for free, but there was no way I was eating in that place. Well over £100 a night B&B over 5 years ago. I called the place that did our company bookings first thing the next morning and told them they had to find me somewhere else (I hadn't arrived until after 8pm in the evening).

Cutietips yes, unfortunately. Although I was glad they enlightened me to the practice.

One was an air hostess that sometimes found herself without enough stuff for a sleepover if there were delays with flights, the other was a senior manager who tried to keep up with the demands of an insomniac boss and ended up sleeping over in hotels at short notice with no time to pop to the shops. The senior manager lady thankfully invested in an overnight bag after a couple of occasions.

Neither of them could see the problem because they'd boil the kettle again afterwards and asserted boiling water was sterile so it was all OK

I haven't had a cuppa in my hotel room since!

killemwithkindness If my boobs were bigger I might try and pass it on with that 'gift'

I'm also curious about the weed?!

Lots of these are almost bad enough to make me want to stay at home boak

We stayed in a dog-friendly hotel in Dorset a few years ago.

Lovely place, beautifully decorated, 4-poster bed for us and dog beds, bowls and treats for the dogs.

After a sniff around, the late lamented Djangodog scuttled under the 4-poster bed and came out prpudly holding a large marrow bone in his mouth. I didn't think anything of it, until DP pointed out how alarming it might have been to someone who hadn't requested a dog-friendly room and wasn't familiar with the ways of dogs ...

CircleofWillis I was extremely sheltered at the time and even I knew that it certainly wasn’t a bag of weed.

Bought a filing cabinet from an office clearance place, locked, no key. DH got it open and there were loads of different business cards in it, new, looked like they had just been printed. Several had the same name but different professions and company names. I think it had belonged to someone from Hustle

Another one I just remembered - long time ago (pre-internet!) turned up at a B&B in Keswick, was on my own on a hiking holiday, knocked on door and asked if they had a single room for that night. Cannot remember if owner said they were full or had friends staying but as I started to walk away she said, actually we might be able to fit you in... Place was fine, but there appeared to only be one other room that was occupied, by a couple. In the evening they proceeded to have the loudest sex I have ever heard, full on moaning, screaming etc (sounded like a porn film!). Lasted for ages too. I sort of guessed that these were regular guests who always did this and that this was perhaps the reason the owner was initially reluctant to let me stay? :)

No big deal, people in B&Bs/hotels often have loud sex (although you would expect with people not being at home to maybe try and be a bit quieter - feel sorry for their next door neighbours at home!) but when I went down to breakfast the next morning there was a communal breakfast table and just me and this couple as no other guests, so I had to sit and make polite small talk over breakfast as if nothing had happened.

My first job was cleaning hotel rooms, there was some shocking sights! I walked in on a few couples having sex, even though I used to knock and call “room cleaning” or whatever and then knock again. One couple seemed to get even more excited by me, a 16 year old at the time, walking in on them. That job was eye opening!

Two chocolate-covered raisins along with dust and fluff and a Bible in the drawer of my bedside table; "boutique" hotel on Isle of Man.

AngelsSins it’s definitely a fetish for some couples to get ‘caught’ so yes it probably was planned!! Gross!

B&B in Aberdeenshire - wardrobe full of clothes, boots under the bed, toiletries in bathroom. When we confirmed with Rrcrotion that we had the right room that said we had. It had a permanent week day resident, but he’d gone home for the weekend.

Moved into a new house, as I pulled up the migraine inducing carpet in my bedroom I knelt on something extremely painful and found I had a gold crown from someone's back tooth embedded in my kneecap.

Still have it in a drawer somewhere, gold will be useful currency come the post brexit crash!!!!!

Many years ago when I moved into a house, there was a huge, old suitcase that was locked, in the cellar. I was really apprehensive as to whether there was a body in there as it was so heavy and hard to move.

Fortunately it was only full of old books.

This was the same house that had an unlocked hatch in the cupboard, that led to the attic that ran along the whole row of terraces. I hadn't heard any of the inhabited attic stories then, but I still got a bolt promptly fitted to prevent people accessing my house from the other houses.
