That's Disgusting

Thursday, May 3, 2007

In January, TripAdvisor announced its picks for the dirtiest hotels in the U.S. based on traveler reviews. Brooke Ferencsik of TripAdvisor visited a few of the hotels.

He found various stains on the carpets, mattresses and pillows. At one hotel, he found dried blood on the sheets. If you think that’s gross, log on to www.tripadvisor.com and read some of the reviews, which include finding a bag of “herbs” tucked beneath bed sheets, used condoms, a decomposed bat, rats, cockroaches and bed bugs. Don’t forget to read the descriptions of the various aromas that fill hallways and rooms.

To avoid situations like these, Ferencsik recommends reading the reviews on TrispAdvisor before booking your next vacation.
