It’s a lot easier to know what you’re getting into when you book a hotel these days because of Yelp reviews and TripAdvisor, but you still never really know until you step foot into your room.
I think my worst experience in a hotel was somewhere in the middle of Colorado during a storm when we had to pull off the highway because the weather was too bad to keep going. There were four of us crammed into a tiny room that might’ve been the scene of several homicides throughout the years…let’s just say it was an interesting night.
In the spirit of that sleepless night, let’s look at some of the worst places that people have stayed!
1. That is revolting.
What… what IS that?
And this is why you check the hotel coffeemaker before you use it….

2. This is when you go sleep in the car.
Are they the magic kind?
3. You have some uninvited guests.
Wow… I didn’t realize they were so bitey!
Don’t stay in a hotel with bedbugs.

4. I really wish I knew the backstory on this.
Somebody had a REALLY dirty party.
The pool at my hotel in Birmingham, Alabama. Yes, those are toilets.

5. Uh oh. Might need to change rooms.
Yum!
After a beautiful day at the beach in hawaii, my cousin went back to her hotel room to a pleasant surprise.

6. Not a lie, technically…
In fact, it’s a close up view!
AirBNB description said “Views of the main church from the bedroom window”. Technically it was not a lie.

7. That is pretty sketchy.
But, honestly, I love how bold it is.
My hotel room has such a nice view!! Wait a minute…

8. Anything over 20 is not a good sign.
But under 5… not too bad.
I generally gauge the quality of the hotel I’m staying at based on the number of bite marks on the toilet flusher.

9. Ahhhh, the elusive tumble-weave.
I love that this is actually a word that people use.
Stayed in a questionable hotel last night to save money. Found this under the sheets while crawling into bed… Used hair extensions?

10. Is that considered a fire hazard?
Yeah. That’s not good.

12. Ughh, that is absolutely disgusting.
You found somebody’s kit! Congrats!

13. Feels a little buggy in here.
And I’d walk RIGHT back out.

14. Wanna take a dip?
Swim through that grass!
Got excited from far away about the motel having a swimming pool ….

You know you’ve stayed in some awful places in your day!
