I truly had no idea hotels were such chaotic and downright freaky places.
And, if you ask me, they deserve hazard pay and mental health services.
Here are their stories:
1.
Most of the clients were affluent country lovers and livestock dealers.
We didn’t understand what she was complaining about since no request had been made for additional towels.
If they had been requested, housekeeping would have brought three bath towels and two hand towels.

“We had a guest who was jumping from his fifth-floor room balcony into the hotel pool.
He was immediately told to check out, or the police would be called.”
Pretty big misjudgment on my part.
I had to go see it to believe it they had pooped twice while still in the pool."
“Obviously, the pool had to be shut down immediately and treated with chlorine.
The mother and child were very upset.
It was not a perfect solution, but an appreciated attempt nonetheless.”

“Back in the day, I was a front desk supervisor for a major chain.
I had a guest check in during a lull, and he appeared to be very nice and calm.
He then went to his room and passed by later to go to the pool.
We then got slammed with check-ins, and the staff and I were busy.
No one approached me about being with this guest at the pool.
You made her wait!
What are you, an idiot?'”
“One couple checked in without telling the hotel desk that one of their bags contained their pet snake.
After about 15 minutes, the three-foot, non-poisonous snake was located, wrapped around the underside bed frame.
They let me right in…into an orgy.
I had no idea who ordered the condoms, but I guess they were for all of them.
Out of nowhere, this half-naked dude approached me and screamed, ‘You charged it to the room?’
He then threw me a tip a Benjamin.
I came to find out it was a swingers party.”
We went there and then to his room…but no luck.
Finally, I had no choice but to call the police as he requested.
When they arrived, we went back on the same tour.
She was nowhere to be found.
Still, the police weren’t in a hurry to make it a missing person matter."
I headed back to the bar and decided to look throughout the lounge.
Their definition of ‘a couple’ and ours was obviously different.
Bizarre crisis averted!"
She let herself in and found a naked, middle-aged lady handcuffed and spread eagle on the bed.
A banging noise was coming from the wardrobe.
The cleaner, thinking a serious crime had been committed, called for security and the duty manager.
When they arrived and unlocked the wardrobe, they found a rather embarrassed gentleman dressed asSuperman.
“One night, the ‘Fletcher’ family arrived.
Little did they know their name would go down in our hotel’s history.
These lovely guests checked into our hotel after being kicked out of another hotel in the area.
I’ll summarize theFletcherfamily’s many offenses.
We had to move the so-called ‘wedding reception’ because one of them vomited in the vicinity.”
“Security was called to Daddy F.’s and Mommy F.’s room multiple times for domestic violence.
Police were also called to the hotel for domestic violence between the newly wedded husband and wife.
Daddy F. then did the worst thing yet.
In a drunken rage, he smeared his own fecal matter all over his hotel room.
I’m unsure what happened after this, but I think I’ve already said enough.”

“I temporarily worked in housekeeping at a pretty big hotel.
These three ridiculously gorgeous girls checked in for a few days.
I noticed they had a lot of camera equipment, but I didn’t think too much of it.
During the three uneventful days they were there, they only wanted housekeeping once.
But as I walked in, I saw their whole bed had poop everywhere.
It was so odd as if they did it on purpose.”
Also, I was 20 years old, skinny, and not in good shape for security detail.
If he could not provide these, I was to kick him off the property."
“So I enter the restroom as the people making the accusations stand outside the bathroom door.
I see someone in a stall and knock on the door.
‘Sir, are you a guest at this hotel?’
Ummm…yes.'
‘What is your name and room number?’
‘…can i just finish first?’
This went on for a few minutes.
Me banging on the stall door, and this poor man just trying to take a peaceful poop.
It turned out he was just with the bowling party and had zero clue about the courtyard pool drama.
I followed them outside where they pointed him out as he walked toward the lobby doors.
I stopped him and asked if he was staying at the hotel.
He had a strange look in his eyes.
He was sweaty, looked like he lived in a basement, and was extremely nervous.
He did not respond.
He just tried to outmaneuver me.
I blocked him and asked him what his business was at the hotel.
He kept trying to pass me, and I kept blocking him.
I had guests watching from the bowling party the whole time this happened, making the situation more tense.

They had a ‘do not disturb’ tag on the door, so I questioned my boss.
She told me to enter.
It was a train wreck.
I let out a deep sigh and started throwing trash in a bag.
I soon realized I was tossing out high-end clothing tags and expensive wine bottles.
She announced herself and asked if anyone was in the room…nothing.
“My presence was requested at the room.
I was able to work the latch off, and we slowly opened the door.
I announced myself again, but again, there was no response.
I asked the assembled staff to stay outside; only the Executive Housekeeper and I would walk in.
In all the commotion of trying to gain access, everyone forgot that this room had an adjoining door.
I’m sure they wished they had us, as they would’ve been proud of the prank.

“I knocked several times and said I was a housekeeper.
There was no response, so I unlocked the door, went inside, and opened the curtains.
When I turned around, I saw something I hadn’t seen before or since.
