Now this is just plain nasty:

Like everything else in a hotel room isn't one big biohazard, this now has to be an issue.

Thats nasty, but then again I did see on TV once a black light in a hotel room, you can see all kinds of "DNA" samples in the bed spread. A few people that I know that have worked in hotels have told me that they don't change anything other then the fitted sheet and the other sheet unless they are severely stained or dirty

And as for that funky odour in the bed...

I can vouch for Marriott Hotels, or at least Courtyard Marriotts Do change everything. The new Bedding Package they got when I worked there a couple years back, was designed so the whole thing came off and went through the wash.

I cant vouch for any other hotel out there, but i know that they were good for that...

Yeah the hotels I am referring to are more along the lines of Super 8, Best Western, Western Budget, etc, the middle to lower end of the price range, you know like the hotels the army and some oil field companies like to book at  :-X

Ironically ours wasnt all that much more expensive either....

but yes, having spent plenty of time in the lesser motor lodges I will agree that they are not always up to the same standard.

For anyone familiar with the Suite Rooms in L101 in Petawawa I recall once seeing a rather unpleasant looking stain on the bedspread there once as well.

And your saying that the Europahof in Germany was clean??? Please..... I remember what we used to call the UN hostel down by the Kaserne, but discretion being the better part of valour won't repeat it here..... >

In all honesty, human beings are pretty resiliant. I have stayed in some pretty low end motels, gotten bed bugs. Lived in hostels for 6 months, and slept in some pretty questionable places. But i didnt contract ebola or hep.

But after a hypocondriac business/travelling friend told me that in hotel rooms, the first thing that most couples do is have sex on TOP of the covers, i have to admit, i always think about that when i craw into a hotel/motel bed... gives me the creeps. :-\

Too true, when you think of all the crap we are exposed to.

gotten bed bugs.

Bed bugs bites are quite annoying, however the insect is not known to carry or transmit disease.

Don't think you can catch that from sheets.  From "company" (and I don't mean insects) in the sheets, yes.

Now that you mention it, that gives me the creeps, too.  The first thing?    Guess there's not much in the way of tourist attractions.... ;D
