Research from Jesmond Dene Hotel has revealed some of the weird and wonderful items left by guests in hotel rooms. The usual items expected such as phone chargers, tooth brushes and car keys are some of the most common however there are a number of bizarre items which may shock the next lodger in the room.
According to research people across the world seem to be quite forgetful, 70% of hotel employees say that they have found phone chargers when they have cleaned a room, the most common item to be left behind, second to that is clothing with 40% stating they have retrieved clothes however 15% have found dirty/soiled clothing, nice.
Sex toys also fall highly on the list with 18% of hotel employees stumbling across a wide range of different devices when they clean a room after a guest has left. But it’s not only sex toys people find, visitors have also found porn left in DVD players in rooms, something not all hotel employees check when cleaning. Safes were also popular places where people left their most precious items, including watches, jewellery and even false eyes. It also seems a number of items also slipped down the sides of sofas, no doubt making many people think twice about sticking their hands down there.
Jesmond Dene Hotel asked 2500 people including hotel employees and travellers what was commonly left behind in hotel rooms and also what were the worst things they had found in hotel rooms after guests had checked out, some of the weirdest are as follows:
Soiled underwear
Used condoms
Animals
Drug paraphernalia
Use feminine hygiene products
Sex toys
Porn/homemade porn shot in the hotel room
Prosthetic limbs/false teeth/glass eyes/breast implants
Corpse
Ashes
When questioned a number of hotel guests stated they had found nasty surprises in their rooms, in places not all cleaners check after someone has checked out. Many people had come across used condoms, used feminine hygiene products and drug paraphernalia shoved away at the back of cupboards or on the top of wardrobes.
It seems as though people can be forgetful of the most private and even intimate items when staying in hotels, even things they probably would not want people knowing, it will probably make many people check twice before checking out.
