“10 Hotel Workers Reveal Shocking Guest Tales That Will Change How You Travel Forever!”
2) Young lady (who was certainly no lady) stuck her used tampon on the bathroom wall, the blood acted as a glue and cemented itself there. It had to be pried off
3) Guests left three week old expired milk in the fridge. But they were only in house for three days so that means it was already two and a half weeks expired when they checked in. Who lugs around rotten milk?
Was just about to start my shift in the morning, and was chatting with a co worker outside while she had a smoke.
It was still dark out, and out of nowhere this guy muttering something about his dead family came up to us with a 2×4 and raised it up to hit my co worker in the head, I just reacted and stepped between them and raised my arm to take the blow… and the guy just stopped mid swing. He was face to face with me, with this 2×4 raised baseball bat style, and then he just ran off and dropped it.
My co worker ran up and grabbed it after so he couldnt use it again, and when we brought it inside, thats when we realized it was full of nails. Very glad neither of us got hit with that!
I have plenty of other crazy stories, but that one takes the cake for the scariest for sure.
Worked in a restaurant that was part of a hotel, so I guess this kind of counts.
Had a sommelier (wine expert) who worked in our restaurant – 50’s, couple of kids, divorced, living in a ski town for the past 15 years. One night a guest came in, and over the course of about 2 hours, ordered around $6,000 worth of wine (he bought 3 $2000 bottles, not totally unheard of in our fine dining restaurant, but not common either).
Our sommelier sat down and drank all of it with him, getting absolutely hammered drunk, while running up a huge food tab (again, not uncommon for the som to have a glass of wine, but not three bottles). Overall bill was around $8000 with tip, and my manager was stoked on the big sale. About an hour later, he’s flipping out – our som left with the guy to ‘go get his credit card at the hotel’ and never came back.
Manager has one of our bussers track the som down. Turns out the guest was a disgraced exec who was in a massive amount of debt and couldn’t pay the bill – when the som found out, he was too embarrassed to come back and face the music. Our manager fired him.
High strung cook had an argument with a-type bistro attendant. It just kept escalating to a pull-apart brawl when a kitchen knife got involved. The pair crashed through the swinging door and was rolling on the carpet when the regional manager just happened to be walking in. Cops were called, I think both got fired or arrested.
Had a housekeeping friend show me a mummified pair of brown tighty whities that were found in between the mattress and the box spring. They were super tough like fiberglass.
A older gentlemen checked out a room and started to carry in his luggage, which was a bunch of camera equipment, Followed by a younger gentlemen, maybe low 20s , who looked like he was heavy into drugs.
I’m just glad I did not have to clean that room, Poor kid though.
