Although the curious part of me wanted to look in though one of the windows... common sense told me to stay far, far away.

Don't go to a car part junkyard. Plenty of those are filled with blood stains.

I don't doubt feces on surfaces, you really think the non-educated, Illegal Mexican maid staff cares one bit about mixing cleaning rags?

I do see them strip sheets at all hotels, I also look over the sheets thoroughly before sleeping.

I just don't like the idea of sleeping in a bed where someone ODed and killed themselves... Especially of the body sat for a while. Gross.


Something is very disturbing in this post but I can't put my finger on it.


Just reporting what I see and my issues with being a bit grossed out. Didnt intend to disturb anyone with the comment (though the whole thing isa bit disturbing to me).

It is the phrase "...non-educated, Illegal Mexican maid staff..." that is disturbing.
 
Tell me what part of it is false, and Ill remove it.

Ive been in the same hotel since 6 Dec. Want pictures and a recorded attempt at a conversation? "No speeke english" is all you'd get.

And massive spraying of chemicals from various bottles all over the place.

I keep them out, open the window and turn on the vent fan, and wipe everything down.

If there was a lot of concern and care, would the feces and whatnot on the surfaces be found?

Or are you denying that we have an illegal Mexican problem?

Quote:
Across the United States there was little immigration enforcement in the early 2000s, as the Hispanic workforce at Smithfield and throughout North Carolina continued its rapid growth. In 2000, New York Times reporter Louis Uchitelle reported that “the more tolerant INS policy may be inducing more workers to immigrate, particularly from Mexico, because — once they manage to get here — they face little risk in taking a job.”


Quote:
“We don’t care about green cards,” the head of the United Food and Commercial Workers told Time magazine, in a reference to the visas that provide permanent resident status. “We care about union cards.”1 The head of the hotel employees union was equally straightforward about illegal immigrants in the workplace, observing, “Whatever the intentions of our immigration laws might have been, they don’t work.”


Quote:
After receiving a tip from hotel management, immigration agents arrested the workers. The union stepped in to represent them, helping them win not only a $72,000 settlement from the hotel, but also the right for seven of the eight to stay in the United States.3 That victory helped galvanize broad-based union support for illegal immigrants.


Quote:
Still others cited the low educational level of many of the immigrant workers, which further isolated them. As the Wilson Center noted in its report on immigration to North Carolina: “A considerable portion of recent Latino immigrants have little formal education and are functionally illiterate, so when English language materials are translated into Spanish, these materials still may not be understood.

I suspect you don't see them changing the comforter or pillows, so you're still wrapping yourself up in another persons body fluids and dead skin.

How many people soak the pillow and pillow case with drool when they sleep? And a "clean" pillow case is all that's between your cheek and some mouth breathers left over night slobber residue.

Yeah, I always bring extra clothes and use temperature control to make the room comfortable, so I can strip the comforter and have it on the floor, off the bed.

Pillows - good point. I guess I need to buy a travel pillow (because I dont want the one on my bed at home soiled)...
 
There is "industrial practice" and there's "personal comfort level". The machine they use for washing is at higher temperature that will kill bacterias that you will be concerned about, but if it is not up to your standard, well, too bad.

FYI poop is not really all that scary once you killed the bacteria, you do know what the mushroom you buy in supermarket is grown on, don't you?

I doubt having legal or illegal, blonde or Mexican, cleaning your room will make a difference in how high the standard you get. It is the management (SURPRISE!!!) that decide how well to clean.
 
You're right on all accounts.

Don't think mushrooms are grown in human feces though. Big difference between meat and non-meat eaters.

And feces without bacteria in a hotel room is still someone else's discharge. I done see a relevant argument there.

Citizen/non citizen can both do a bad job, but illegals are an epidemic, and at least I can communicate with the english-speaking citizen (no need to argue that there are citizens that do not speak English). There is so much wrong with the entitlement philosophy of the other population, but that's a discussion for another time. The fact that they are illegal is sufficient, nothing more needs to be said.

My dad owns a Hotel and not a long ago one guy shot himself, he didn't die but was rushed to the hospital. It doesn't happen that often. He said the mess he saw, he never wants to experience it again. This was probably thie first one in 15 years. Ofcouse there's been other death from age, drug use and so on.

So he hasnt experienced more than one nasty one, but multiple deaths? Gross.
 
This thread is hilarious. I love your wit JHZR2.

Just be glad they weren't going into the room with shovels to clean the guy up. He was probably fresh.

You are making sweeping assumptions and then building a whole philosophy on top of that flimsy foundation.

have you asked every housekeeping staff member about their immigration status and work permit? Have you checked their literacy level?

When a foreign born person cannot speak English as well as you do, it does not mean they are illiterate, stupid or illegal. You will be surprised how many highly educated people have and still work as housekeeping staff after immigrating to the US.
 
Without getting political I have to say if the room cleaning practice is not correct or up to your standard you should complain to management, not the staff, as the management should either enforce it or raise the standard.

Blaming low quality of service of an established, supposedly high end, US hotel on the language ability or prior / current nationality of the house keeping staff, then drag other resentment into this topic is not what I would consider fair.

These kind of action can get a person fired in a work place due to violation of HR policy. I'll be polite and leave it at that.

I actually found pictures of it online, at the auction's website.

Looks like the driver bled after the accident, and blood was smeared on the steering wheel, seat, and door panel.
