I mean, when you work in housekeeping, things related to s*x, d***s, and just general grossness quickly become far less strange, lol.
But my favorite story is when I had to get a witness to open a room safe that had been left locked by a guest. Its contents? One Taco Bell bean burrito. Best guess is a particularly drunken guest mistook the safe for the microwave.
Not a housekeeper, former desk staff and night audit.
I found someone’s hamster. It got out of the room during housekeeping and we originally thought it was a rat in the main hallway. But after 3 days it was confirmed to be a tiny female hamster. I ended up catching it in a box by luring it with peanut butter and gave it to my cousin as a birthday gift. She named it Hobo because it was homeless and squatting in a shifty hotel.
The original owners never called us or came back btw.
Not me, but my friend from Ukraine worked at a c**ppy casino hotel in Wendover, Nevada, because they would sponsor his work visa. He wasn’t a housekeeper but would have to do maintenance in rooms. He said one day he went to a room where the people had already checked out and there was a chicken in the room. Like a live chicken. Just chilling there.
Maybe the story is funnier when he tells it with his accent.
Why eez cheeken in room?
Crabs! Crabs everywhere! It was a hotel by the ocean and in a huge 4 bedroom 2 level suite. They people staying there took the time to put crabs EVERYWHERE. In the coffee pots, the toilet, the vases, the sinks, the dishes in the cupboard etc… Most were tiny babies and still alive. We put them in buckets and took them back to the beach. . But honestly it was so fricking weird
I’m the lobby manager at a small boutique style hotel. There was one morning our general manager (a very prim and proper mid-60’s Dutch lady) came back down from the honeymoon suite waving around a small metal object that someone left in the room, asking me if I knew what it was. I had to explain to her that it was a b*tt plug and she should probably go wash her hands.
I was at random party taking place in a suite and I go into the bathroom and see a guy in the bathtub with an entire rotisserie chicken. He looks up at me and sticks out a greasy finger as he finishes chewing and then says, “Don’t mind me.”
My friends family ran a little hotel at the beach. Nothing fancy, but it was oceanfront. My friend once went to a room to clean, and found the ENTIRE place CLEAN. Not just wiped up and etc. the walls and ceilings had been scrubbed, the carpets looked like they had been shampooed, the tub/shower looked brand new (quite an accomplishment at the beach with super hard water and salt spray), the bed frame had been cleaned, the old beach furniture had been cleaned and repaired, the knobs and track on the sliding glass door had been polished, the railings on the deck had been thoroughly scrubbed, the dirty linens were stripped and folded with a sign saying “dirty.” We were kinda curious if someone had been k**led or what.
As a Housekeeper we had a situation where we had to split a couple parents from their child and boyfriend. They were of age and got an upgrade to a suite on the top floor. They kept extending their stay per day, but always had the DnD up so we couldn’t clean, they explicitly told us. They would leave their linens/trash bags outside the door (not a policy of ours, just something they decided to do.)
Well, come about a month later and we finally get in after they check out and…oh. I had never seen literally AT LEAST 1000 AEROSOL CANISTERS. Piled everywhere in the fairly small room. Just…whippet cans. And chicken qing bones, food boxes, f*****g everywhere.
Took two of us over an hour to get it straight.
I worked for a hotel chain in Colorado and one day my coworker and I went to strip a bed and the bed was full of oranges. The dresser oranges. Side table, cans of mandarin oranges. Not exactly shocking or disgusting, but it was weird.
I used to work in reservations in a big chain hotel in London. Housekeeping once told us there was one regular guest who used to ALWAYS leave a single whole in-tact raw egg in the bed when they checked out. Nobody ever figured out why or where on earth they got that single raw egg in the middle of central London (grocery stores aren’t frequent in the area and they certainly don’t sell eggs one by one).
I worked in maintenance at a hotel and while I’ve heard some crazy things that housekeeping has found this experience was my own.
The front desk paged me and when I arrived they told me this woman wanted to go look for her wedding ring she had his in a room she had stayed in a few days prior. This was obviously suspicious and we had a policy that guests couldn’t visit their room after they checked out and housecleaning had visited already. This lady tried to bribe the desk to let her go up and when that didn’t work she snuck upstairs and tried to bribe housekeeping who also refused. When I was called was when she was trying to convince the desk a second time and we settled on she couldn’t go up, but I’d go look. I get on the elevator, a man and young boy probably about ten years old or so get on with me. I don’t really think anything of it at the time until they follow me off the elevator and to the room. At this point I spin around and tell them no one can enter the room with me nor be upstairs and they needed to go back downstairs. I wait for them to turn the corner and quickly enter the room and secure the door behind me. I know that something is up at this point. I feel along the bottom of the curtains and I don’t feel anything, I look around the rest of the room and don’t see anything. I say screw it and check the curtains again and this time I feel something I missed last time. I find where this lady had cut a whole in the curtains and move the object in that direction. A huge bag of white crystal plops into my hand. I call down to the desk and tell them to call the cops cause I just found a huge bag of d***s and tell them that’ll I’ll be staying in the room until the cops arrive in case the people are waiting for me somewhere. The cops arrive and I hand over the baggie and the cop tells me that it contains over $1800 worth of meth. The people split right after I sent what I assume is the dad and son back downstairs.
Who brings their kid with them to retrieve d***s?
Someone left a huge stack of money inside a Bible. They called and had the money mailed to them.
Someone polished their shoes inside the tub .I assume they were wearing them. They used a hotel towel to buff the shoes. Black polish was in the tub, on the rim, and on the toilet. Impossible to clean. They had to pay for the repairs.
I was the Assistant General Manger for a hotel and the most notable one I remember was the long term guest who checked out unexpectedly and left. When the housekeeper opened the door to his room he has arranged the hangers from his closet under the covers to look like a body and smeared ketchup all over the place to look like blood.
Many years ago, while working as a housekeeper, l had one very dirty client that always left notes about what they’d like me to clean that visit.
One week l arrived to a note stating that, they’d like me to clean out the bathroom cupboard.
When l opened the cupboard l found it to be full to overflowing with used sanity pads. The whole cupboard, not one or two. Not half a dozen, but hundreds of uses sanity items. A lifetimes worth.
The note stated…clean out bathroom cupboard and as this was the only cupboard in the room, l empied it and scrubbed it out, only to be met with a nasty phone call the following day stating l should not have thrown out anything. They were being saved. Hmm. Not what the not implied. But sure.
The following visit, another note, please clean out the kitchen party. So l put all like food together, such as 10 or so open packs of pasta together, sauces together, etc, wiped out all the shelves. It looked great.
Yup another phone call. How dare l mix up the food in the cupboards. There were other instances, so l stopped working for them. The house was always filthy and they would never employ me long enough to clean the house completely. It was always left dirty, with just a small area cleaned, which would be very dirty again by next visit.
It wasn’t that it was a messy house, it was filthy to the point of being unsanitary, so l was happy to never go back.l was always worried ld get sick just for being inside there.
We also had a lady who I’m sure had schizophrenia or something who took apart almost anything electronic (alarm clock, tv, lamps, etc) and put alluminum foil over the air vents etc. Also smeared her feces on most of the walls. We lost in court when we tried to seek damages.
Not me but a former colleague who used to work as a hotel housekeeper. The strangest thing he ever found was a Polish guest who had left the mini fridge filled to the brim with sausages.
This couple on their honeymoon checked out in a hurry, and when the housekeeper went into the room there was s**t spread on the walls and a hole dug out of the mattress. Still no idea what went down in there.
Once cleaned a room where in the bed, the couple left behind both a pair of crotchless [underwear] (ew) and a single, abandoned sock that was pink and had the male/female symbols linked as a pattern…proof that they are hetero-socks-ual, if you may.
I still laugh at that pun. My coworkers never did.
I worked with a couple at a hotel. It was only open in the summers and the boss always paid us well so it was a fun job for the most part. One summer in room 4 we had a couple staying that had complained we didn’t clean out the fridge, which happens sometimes so my friend went in and cleaned their fridge to their standards. The next day after checkout the same friend and I are going into the room to clean and there was s**t everywhere. Literally human feces, all over the toilet, floors (carpet and tile), walls and covering the bathtub. My friend said the room looked completely normal the day before when she cleaned the fridge so I’d just like to know what in the h**l happened in those 24 hrs.
A bag of s**t, wrapped in a freezer bag and hanging in the free-standing cupboard.
This was the Marriot Hotel in Bristol.
The previous guests were two lovely ladies.
In college I worked for student housing during the summer. In the summer all housing units were essentially a hotel. We were in charge of light cleaning but mostly moving furniture. One of the worst rooms we saw was completely trashed. We found a stash of w**d in the drawer and on the wall someone wrote ”THE RA HAS HUGE T**S”
I can only imagine that students poor parents footed the entire bill.
My hotel often has railway crews come through. And one railway crew has quite a reputation. They’ve managed to, leave their rooms absolutely disasters. To the point of random unexplained handprints on the ceiling. And they like to party the night before they all leave. Which once included partying on the roof, even though their is no access to the roof, they decided to use their picker truck to get onto the roof.
I think the strangest one was with a family fan of Trump but like really fan
Worked in a 5 stars hotel in NZ and the room was huge, really huge, 95sqm with two bedrooms so a family can sleep here. I was doing daily cleaning because I was responsable of rooms services. Father and the son(between 16yo to 20) were still on the room, not the wife and the daughter. The son was looking Trump’s news both on computer and his phone with a Trump cap and the father was watching FoxNews with a meeting of Trump on it. Same cap and they were both yelling and sending videos about trump. In the room you got underwear with Trump on it, shirts I mean everything. They even put a poster of Trump… Quite disturbing
I delivered the breakfast to the smash singer(Shrek song) was funny too.
Sometimes couples misunderstood the Hotel TAG, we got Adventure Time meaning that you’re outside or shhb time meaning do not disturb. For some people adventure time meaning [intimacy] and you can’t imagine the number of time that I saw people have [intimacy] just because of that…
D**g dealer that didn’t tip – he “lived” there, and was a nasty dude. He left ALL of the money and weed in the top drawers…now either he was dumb or didn’t care if the maids saw that as their tip.
In high school I cleaned for a lady with a small motel. Her son was moving so we youthful workers were sent to clean his house. His wife was a “society” lady…well known…came home from a farewell party all fancy and formally dressed and threw raw liver on the floor for the cat. All floors looked like years of “raw liver”. The kid’s room walls were all covered in crayon drawings that we had to paint. I was appalled as a teen but now laugh, in that the “creative” kid is now a national celebrity you’d probably recognize.
When I’m about to clean the room after the guest checking out I found blood in the crumpled bed sheet, Johnson’s baby oil, and a laxative enema.
I worked for an agency and at Christmas and other people through the year they would offer one off cleaning jobs. As I hadn’t been there long I took on a couple of these on to of my regular people.
The first few jobs went ok mainly elderly people. The last job I had was in a block of flats. As it was winter it was already dark when i got there. I knocked on the ground floor flat roof and a man with long hair and a long beard dressed in all black answered. He said too come in. The hallway was dimly lit and he lead me into the kitchen that was absolutely filthy. Dried milk on the side with the lid stuck in it and dear flies. I said something to the main and he didn’t reply them suddenly snapped back to attention and asked if I had spoke to you class he had zoned out. The kitchen was small and he was stood in the way of the exit. I am 5ft and about 7.5 stone and the man close to 6ft and big built. I was started to feel creeped out. He said he’d show me the other rooms to clean before I started so proceeded to the bathroom which was dirty but nothing I couldn’t have handled. My eyes had started to adjust to the dim lighting and I noticed he had painting something direct on the wall. Melvin on her opened the living room door and some light skinned on the painted wall it was a large red swashsticker. I looked into the living room and every inch of every wall had the same painting in varies sixers and the floor had better boards and a pentagon drawn on it. The extra light was from candles placed round it.
I said I needed to ring in to the office to say I had arrived so they could bill for my time. I got my mobile out and pretended I had no reception so I needed to step out side then I ran.
I try not to judge a book by its cover but after reading on a few chapters I felt this one wouldn’t have a happy ending.
