Bed linens are often not changed along with the sheets. You could be sleeping on the same linens that the person before you slept on. How gross.

Security in hotels isn’t as safe as you think. Most times after you check out the key cards do not expire, so if the person who was in the room before you decides to come back, they could get in.

Hotel rooms are only periodically cleaned. Once a guest checks out, the cleaning staff has a limited amount of time to clean the room, meaning most items (like remotes, the phone, etc.) are not cleaned.

When making reservations it's best to call the hotel directly. Calling 1-800 numbers will often raise the rates and charge extra fees. Save your money and call the receptionist desk to get the best rates.
