I heard a story where a housekeeper found that a guest had left a note asking to leave the 'collection' in the room as it was. When she looked closer, she saw that the guest had been collecting little souvenirs from every place they visited and arranged them in a really odd but interesting pattern on the dresser. It was like a mini - museum in the hotel room.
There was a housekeeper who found a pair of socks that seemed to have a life of their own. Every time they put them in the laundry basket, they would magically reappear on the floor. It turned out the family's mischievous cat was dragging them around. It was quite a funny discovery for the housekeeper.
One funny story is about a housekeeper who found a pair of shoes tied together and hanging from the ceiling fan. The guest must have been really bored and decided to do something wacky. It took the housekeeper a while to figure out how to get them down safely.
There was this one incident where a guest opened the minibar and found a half - eaten sandwich that was clearly very old and moldy. It made the guest wonder if housekeeping ever even checked the minibar. In some hotels, guests have found stains on the carpets that looked like they had been there for a long time and were never cleaned. Also, there are stories of housekeeping using the same rag to clean the toilet and then the sink, which is extremely unhygienic.
I recall a hotel where the room key cards were constantly malfunctioning. I went back and forth to the front desk three times in one day to get new ones. But the funniest part was that the front desk clerk started to recognize me and would joke that I was trying to collect all the key cards. And then there was a mix - up with the room service order. I ordered a burger but got a pizza instead. They apologized but we all had a good laugh about it.
I've heard of a story where a guest found a dirty underwear in the drawer. It was so gross. It seemed that housekeeping didn't check the drawers at all during their cleaning process. This made the guest feel very uncomfortable and question the overall cleanliness of the hotel.
Well, there was a hotel where a couple checked in. They accidentally locked themselves out on the balcony while trying to take a romantic photo. They had to shout for help until a maid passing by noticed them. It was quite a hilarious situation.
Sure. Once I was staying in a hotel and when I opened the minibar, there was a little note from the previous guest saying 'Enjoy the treats, but don't blame me for the calories!'. It made me laugh out loud.
Once, a guest at a hotel asked the receptionist if the hotel had a pool. The receptionist, with a straight face, said yes. But when the guest got to the 'pool area', it was just a small inflatable pool for kids. The guest was so shocked and came back to the reception laughing, and the receptionist couldn't help but laugh too.
Sure. Once, a hotel worker was showing a guest to their room. The guest asked where the nearest ice machine was. The worker confidently pointed in a direction and said 'Just down that hall'. But when the guest went there, it was actually a storage closet. The worker had gotten confused and they both had a good laugh about it later.
Sure. There was a story of a young couple who just bought their first home. It was in a bit of a disarray, but they worked hard together. They repainted the rooms, fixed the broken cabinets, and organized all their belongings. In the end, they created a warm and inviting home through their housekeeping efforts.
