A lot happens, folks.
Current and former employees didn’t holdanythingback, and revealed what really goes on behind closed doors.
Like…it’s truly baffling.
I’m not exaggerating here, folks.

“The amount of fraud that goes on in luxury hotels, I think, would really surprise people.
I handled all of those fraud claims, and it was especially rampant during the holiday season.

“I worked in a super fancy hotel in Canada.
The hotel was mostly a businessmen clientele.
They flirted with me and asked me where to find the best sex workers.
It happened at least once a week that I saw someone’s dick ‘by accident.'”

They and others often found the stuff some patrons left behind.
Shopping bags, perfumes, random luggage, clothes, laptops, cameras, phones, and chargers.
The hotel usually held them in the lost property storage for at least one month.
The more expensive an item, the longer they kept it in storage (capping at six months).
They destroyed unclaimed laptops, phones, and passports after six months.
“One of the weirdest things they found was a wooden box of long hair bound in a ribbon.
The patron called to get this box back (apparently it was his late granddaughters hair).”

“A well-known luxury hotel and resort chain keeps a database of you.
They get pictures from the internet and basically ‘stalk you’ to create a profile.
Everyone working in the hotel has access to this database and can see your information.
It’s not all good stuff, either.
We know ‘you were an asshole to Jen’ while you were staying in London.

“I was the night manager at a luxury hotel in the eighties.
The ‘gourmet restaurant’ would advertise made-from-stock soups that were actually cans of Campbell soup.
There were several klepto employees who got pass keys and tossed guest rooms for valuables.
It was an eye-opener.”

Housekeepers are paid minimum wage and are cleaning over 15 rooms and bathrooms a day.
They are cutting corners.
The same towel that was wiping the toilet and bath may have also wiped your cup and glasses.
And you should remove that bedspread most hotels hardly ever have them cleaned.”

“I worked at one of the most famous hotel franchises.
We would sometimes have people who were homeless sneak in to use the restrooms in the lobby.
Usually, we noticed them hustling out of the hotel, so we always checked the restrooms afterward.
“My mom worked in Salt Lake City at a resort in the eighties.
All of the housekeepers would take it home when the guests left.

It was $13,000 in damage.
We regularly had rich guys pull up in their Lamborghinis with a sex worker.
My favorite was the couple we had to essentially evict from their room due to smell and noise complaints.
When we got in, there were dozens of designer shoe boxes and coke residue everywhere.
The woman left with her foot hanging out the window as they drove away wealthy people are weird.”

“My cousin worked in Vegas at a few major resorts from 2008 to 2015.
They usually can sell directly or know who’s holding in the hotel.”

That’s right management sometimes instructs housekeeping to skip the wash if it seems unnecessary.
So, that ‘fresh’ bedding you’re snuggling into?
It might have been slept in by the previous guest sweet dreams!”

He had a couple make a run at book a room but the hotel was completely sold out.
They called the police, and the authorities removed the bodies.
Not long after, housekeeping cleaned the room.
Seeing that the earlier couple was nearby, the manager called them over and offered them the room.
They were ecstatic and took it not knowing what had just occurred.
The manager gave them a discount on the bill."
