At times, what people think of hotels is extremely negative. “I could have done without the blood-stained mattress and the (actual) chunk of poop on my bedspread, but I didn’t expect the Hilton,” wrote one.
TripAdvisor at the end of the year announced their top ten funniest traveler posts of the past year, chosen by editors. For example:
- “I spent the night in the (hotel) room and experienced a friendly spirit. This presence got into bed with me, and old lady, she was nice and I just patted her on the head and we had a comfortable restful sleep. I think I will ask for a different room next time.”
- “Time could be spent pondering over the meaning of some of the many safety signs around the complex. Out of the several we managed to identify, the two we found to be of greatest use were 1. Not to step on any crocodiles whilst bare foot, and 2. No ugly, or spotty children to frequent the pool.”
- “Sleeping in the street during a blizzard would be better than staying at this hell-hole. The place should be imploded.”
