It's best to empty them refill them and empty them again, before

I routinely empty and refill twice, boil the water from the second
refilling and tip it away. Then refill and boil to make a drink,
rinsing out the cup and spoon with boiling water first.

In years of traveling for work, I have seen:

- rinsing cups out in a sink of water that had been used to wipe over
the toilet seat
-wiping out a dirty cup with a dry cloth and putting it back on the
tray
- wiping a toilet seat, drying it with a towel and placing that towel
back on the rail
- remaking a bed using the same sheets on a day I was checking out;
mentioned this and was told they only changed sheets once a week (this
being the most expensive hotel in the area, not a cheap one)
- even repackaging of out-of-date individual boxes of cereal into
in-date marked boxes

I have a fairly long list of hotels I will not stay at a second time!
I beggars belief that people will do this when a guest is in the room
and can see them. Reception staff give the impression that they're not
going to do anything about it and local tourist offices say they can't
respond to single complaints.

I tend to use small B+Bs now, usually run by residents. They're
cleaner, friendlier and quieter.


I feel sick now.
