"A CBC Marketplace investigation has uncovered potentially dangerous levels of filth and contamination in hotel rooms across the country. In the largest-ever survey of Canadian hotel cleanliness, Marketplace tested thousands of individual spots inside hotel rooms at a wide spectrum of chains in Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto. More than 800 "high-touch" spots were tested in 54 rooms at six hotel chains, including budget hotels EconoLodge and Super 8, mid-range hotels Best Western and Holiday Inn and the luxurious Fairmont and Sheraton."

"Marketplace’s test found that bed comforters, bathroom faucets and TV remotes were the top three dirtiest spots in hotel rooms."

“If you're going to pay the extra money for a top-end hotel, don't expect to have better sanitation.”

We want cheaper hotel rooms but it comes at a cost. I am contemplating bringing my own sleeping bag on the next trip. :-)

Can we all just agree hotel rooms are disgusting and stop testing them already?

When I was traveling a lot, it seemed that I was always getting to my hotel late after a long day of working and a dinner-meeting, then hurrying into the shower and crashing ON the bed while I vegged out and watched tv. My state of dress at such times varied depending on ambient temperatures, but it was seldom 'complete.' (I didn't travel with a robe, and never stayed in one of those fancy-schmancy chains that provides them.) Anyway, one day as I'm lying there in my boxers, it occurs to me that I had no idea whether they actually change out the bed comforters between guests. I certainly *hoped* that they did, but I was uncertain. From that moment on I have viewed bed comforters in the same manner as I view toilet seats. Anything that might have had a naked ass sitting on it at any point in recent history is NOT where I want to be, unless I'm in a Haz-Mat suit!

HazMat suits should be standard hotel room attire.
