I lived near Scottsdale, AZ 20 years ago & applied for cleaning jobs at motels that charged $300 to $3, 000 per room. I had a lot of experience, & thought they would pay well.They didn't. None of them paid more than $5 per hr, w/ no chance to earn a raise. I'd spend 2 hrs cleaning a room bigger than my home, then get paid only $10 for doing it. Then I did the math & realized that the motel was grossing $200 to $2, 500 per room, per day, in a motel with 100 to 300 rooms. They would not be able to rent those rooms out if they were filthy, they would not make a penny w/out people to clean. It doesn't matter that almost anyone can learn to clean, what matters is that you CAN NOT make any money with a motel if you don't have people to clean it. If a motel grosses $100, 000 to $300, 000 in a day (I calculated that to the very LOWEST possible amount), they can certainly afford to pay cleaning staff much better.

For the most part, hotel employees don't do any of the things in this video. But I can tell you that hotel Front Desk staff, for the most part do not earn a lot. Don't mistreat them because you had a bad day or wasn't able to book the room type you wanted and instead of asking politely, you demand it stating that you are a "member" of the hotel's loyalty club. I remember there was an Asian guest who booked through Expedia (when you book through Online sites, you don't get points or benefits from the hotel loyalty club because it's a contractual agreement where you get lower rates). She demanded her free waters and stated that "the hotel" made the mistake of not giving her a room with 2 beds. As the Manager on Duty, I didn't feel 2 bottles of water was worth arguing so I told the Desk Agent to give it to her. She then continues to verbally abuse my staff and I took over the registration process. I knew already I was going to give her what she wanted, which was a room with 2 beds. Seeing that she was traveling with her daughter and had 6 pieces of luggage, I assigned her a room with 2 beds at the furthest end of the hotel. It takes me 5 minutes to walk from the Front Desk to the room without luggage. To add insult (she didn't know it at the time) I gave her 2 more bottles of water before she started her journey to the room and with a smile, I said "Enjoy your stay and these will come in handy". Lesson here: when you go to a hotel, asking will always receive better response than demanding or displaying a sense of entitlement. Also, those travelers who go to Hilton hotels, telling the staff that you are friends with the Hilton family only makes you look stupid and very uninformed. Hilton was sold in 2007 and don't try to argue about this fact.

1. Don't blame maids for not washing all the blankets, blame management - it's not up to the maids what gets washed. 2. 8 yrs of being a motel maid, & I NEVER slept at work, period - you think it's gross to sleep in the bed after a maid has, but what makes you think we're not grossed out by the idea of sleeping where YOU slept? As for bathrooms: you have a bathroom where you work, right? For maids, it's clean the toilet once for themselves, go to the bathroom, then clean it again. 3. List of things I've had to clean: Food & some kind of liquid smeared & sprayed on every surface of the room including ceiling & bed, in drawers, etc.; a man w/ the flu who didn't get the toilet lid up quick enough & vomited so hard that again, there was vomit EVERYWHERE, even on the ceiling; guy caught on fire in one of the rooms & was shoved into a shower in a different room to put him out - I had to clean up blood, piss, shit, hair, & chunks of skin. Is that enough, or should I keep going? Because there's LOTS more... 4. If anyone is using motel rooms to "retaliate", it's the people who stay in the rooms - me & the other maids were the target of the random anger of about 1/4 of the people renting rooms. 5. When the maids start bickering, it's a sign of really bad management. Undervalued/ignored/harassed employees get angry at mistreatment, just like anyone else. 6. I've cleaned rooms where the desk was covered in stacks of 100's, draws full of loose bills, guns under mattresses, expensive jewelry left out on the dresser, & things you'd never believe if I told you - I never stole anything, ever, not even a tissue or a q-tip. Management tried hard NOT to hire people with the desire to dig through &/or steal from guests. When it came to the maids who MIGHT steal, the management made them leave the doors open while they cleaned & kept an eye on them. No one ever stole anything in the 8 years I worked there, but it would be instant firing & criminal charges pressed if they had.
Something I've realized lately - most fights, crimes & general problems between humans usually come from making assumptions - don't make assumptions about people in low paying jobs. At the time I worked at that motel, I was also running my own house cleaning business, doing in home care for a guy with MS, making money on the side in any legal way I could (selling art & writing, gathering & selling wild mushrooms, & a WHOLE bunch more), raising chickens for eggs, growing a garden & gathering wild plant foods, etc., plus homeschooling my son (non-religious reasons).
If I had to guess, I'd say that motel maids end up getting harassed by "guests" more often then guests are harassed by maids. I know none of us thought any guest was worth losing our jobs over - you come, you leave a mess but never a tip, & then you go. You're simply not that important to us - there's no incentive to treat you great, but there's also very little incentive to treat you badly.

When I was young, I was what they called a "chambermaid" at a motel at the foot of Sugarloaf Mt. in Maine. Now, it's no longer a motel. It's a school. But we treated our guests the right way. Every day, we cleaned the bathroom and supplied clean towels and wash cloths and a clean glass to drink from. Every day, we made beds. Every 2 days, we vacuumed the room and dusted and changed the sheets. We never snooped on people's stuff. The only thing we did that was probably wrong was to sniff some cologne, "Brut" if we saw some on the sink. We loved the smell but we didn't steal it. Myself and my co-worker always got tips at the end of a guest's stay. So not all motels and hotels have rotten workers

I worked in a hotel in Idaho where a cross dresser who dressed all in white was an apparent racist. So much so that he wouldn't let anyone but me (redhead blue eyes) and another blonde girl wait on him. He stayed there months at a time. I was told that Richard Butler (you know the racist that had his land taken away and was big news) paid his bill at times. I don't know if THAT was true, but after he left, a letter was returned to the hotel and was thrown away in a paper waste basket (trash is public property so i had to wait until she threw it away) so I got it out because it was addressed to RICHARD BUTLER. It was VERY sexual in nature but in a weird religious way. His room had the toilet lid taped down (not the lid but the second part men always leave up) He left his teddy bear (yea he had a freaking teddybear!) it's brown eyes were replaced with blue buttons. All the mirrors were covered and soooo much more. he was there a while and I couldn't possibly put all the weird things that happened in this comment section. Crazy!

Tom Segura put it best when he mentioned during one of his Stand-up's "I fucking abuse Hotel Rooms"

I have a very dear friend who worked at a hotel made for over 20 years. When she first came to Toronto as a refugee Iraq, where she used to be a university professor, not one business in Toronto would except her credentials, despite her being absolutely brilliant and holding to PhD‘s. So, she swallowed your pride and took whatever job she could get, in this case it was working in a five-star hotel as a maid. The story she told me lately so angry that people can be so cruel to somebody, I don’t blame her one bit for what she did, and the asshole deserve far more than she gave him. Everybody knows that if you want to sleep in, you must hang the do not disturb sign on the door, which this guest failed to do. So, as she and all of her coworkers do every single day, after receiving no answer when knocking at the door, she went into the room to clean it like she always does, only to find a man but naked passed out on the floor, surrounded by empty Beer cans. She said the room look like it had been ransacked, everything was thrown all over the floor, and while this is not that unusual, the guest however was. Seeing the man, she was concerned for his safety and shook his shoulder to make sure he was OK. The guy wakes up, throws up on the floor, and then proceeds to insult my friend, calling her every single nasty name imaginable, telling her that she’s a piece of shit, and that he is wealthy and can do whatever he wants. He moved horrible references regarding her heritage, calling her a terrorist, a welfare bum (which makes no sense considering she was working), told her to get back on her camel, and get the fuck out of the room, before he called the manager to have her fired. Do you think that’s the end of the story? Not even close! My friend was dumbfounded, is the man stood there spewing constant obscenities at her, she broke down and begin to cry, which made him even angrier, As he continued to insult her heritage, her job, and pretty much anything else you could think of, repeatedly saying that he could buy and sell her, and bragging that he makes more in five minutes then she did all year. This guy was a real piece of shit. As luck would have it to her manager happened to be walking by, as he always look after his staff, and to make sure everything was OK. How manager walks in and gets the same treatment from this man, all the while he is still standing there naked. Her manager got her to leave the room and try to calm the guest down, but then came the threat of legal action for invading his privacy, and again insulting her manager, who happened to be a man from India. You can imagine what this racist piece of shit said to him. Refusing to tolerate any further insults, the manager call the police immediately, as he continued on with his tirade. Once the police got there, the man was suddenly lying his ass off, claiming that the maid came in and try to grab his crotch, told the cops that she started to insult him, and that they should both be fired. For whatever reason the police didn’t do a damn thing to help, they just filled out a report and left, leaving the stuff to deal with this asshole. Not being able to do anything blatantly obvious, they waited for this prick to leave his room, and then it was payback time. They used his toothbrush to clean the toilet sink and bathtub, they found out this man’s name, managed to take his picture, and under a false name, told the entire world exactly what he did to them online, and it went viral. Unbeknownst to this prick, my friend was actually recording The entire event on her cell phone, and thank God she did. It turns out this guy was the vice President of a very wealthy company, and he truly was a millionaire, yes he was using his company‘s credit card to pay for his room, the first thing she did was send the video to his boss, and then seeded to put it on YouTube, not naming the hotel, so they couldn’t get trouble, they tore this son of a bitch a part online, and it was such sweet revenge when my friend received an email within hours after she sent the video to his boss, stating that he no longer work for that company, and offered my friend a job that paid five times more and she was making as a maid. I was so happy for her, and despite the anger and hatred I have towards that son of a bitch, I am so happy that he lost not just his job, but his wife left him, took his children away from him, sued him and won the case taking away everything he owns including his house and his car, and left him homeless. Karma is a wonderful thing, and aside from using his toothbrush to clean the room, she didn’t have to stoop to his level, but instead she chose to rise above it. She now makes six figures a year, Candace credibly happy, as for the asshole, nobody knows or really cares what happened to him, I hope that he’s on the street, alone and terrified and in pain as he deserves! Nobody has the right to treat another human being like that just because one has money and the other does not. If anything, through my personal experiences in life, I can tell you that most of the wealthy people are the biggest prick you could ever meet, and the poorest people are some of the kindest and nicest people on the planet, it just shows that money does not buy class or brains. This is but one example of the thousands of similar events that happened every single day across the world, nobody deserves to be treated like that, and if anyone cruel and arrogant enough to behave that way, they deserve exactly what they get. Personally I would’ve super glued his dick to the rug he was laying on when she walked in the room! If I were to tell you all the stories she told me about that really goes on to the workers in every hotel, I could write thousands of pages. These poor people are treated like dirt, and anyone stupid enough to treat the staff in such a manner, deserves what this guy got or worse. No matter where I go, and I travel a lot, I always ensure to treat the staff, especially the maids, It’s kindly as I can, just because it’s the right thing to do. Very few them actually enjoy their jobs, most of them are working as an aid because that’s the only job they could get, and most of them work more than one job, because the maids salary is next to nothing, and knowing that I always leave a tip on my pillow every single day while I’m staying at a hotel. I don’t do it with the expectation of anything in return, with the exception of a clean bed and clean towels, but I know from experience that if you treat the stuff right, you get all sorts of wonderful free things, and there are more than happy to do it for you, it all boils down to respect. It was just the way I was raised, I know it’s cliché but it’s very true, I treat people the same way I like to be treated, do that and you’ll never go wrong, it’s just that simple.

Once at a Key West holiday inn I noticed that my suitcase had been opened up and possibly items stolen so I told the manager He did not give me any respect or any Indication that he would look into the problem he basically didn't believe me so I told him I was calling the police he said I own the police in this town which I then proceeded to repeat to the police when they came. I stood by and watched with great satisfaction as the Key West police officer tore the mngr. a new one. It was a thing of beauty to watch.

when he said, "you can never really know if a hotel staffer spends a few hours snoozing in your bed while you're out and about for the day...", i had to laugh.

i guess he's never heard of wireless cameras that can sync to your phone. if you travel, i'd suggest using one of these to spy on anyone who may enter your room and go through your stuff when you're not there.

Sometimes, during the ski season, guests would stay for a week. Their rooms were boiling hot. They set the thermostat to 100 degrees. Sometimes, you had to clean up vomit. When they left, sometimes 2 people had 22 rooms to completely clean. That included stripping the beds, vacuuming, scrubbing the bathroom and dusting

[skythegirl]

When my band went to Disney world my freshman year the cleaning lady trashed our room looking through our things. I personally always cleaned up the room before we left for the Disney parks so when we got back we called our "band mom" and got people to look into it. Really unnerving

[jesterd]

They should have asked hotel workers when they made this. I know maids have a certain number of rooms that they have to clean every day, and a certain amount of time to get it done. That's one reason they work in pairs so they can double team a messy room. Then they usually have to run back and forth to the laundry to bring up clean linens. So, there's not much time for sleep. My sister is a GM at a hotel, she checks the progress by hitting each floor at 1130 and at 2:30 so she knows if she has rooms ready for early check-ins. Theft isn't as big an issue because the manager can see what key opened the door at any time. The staff always has a different key and each one is coded to a person. So if you say your laptop is missing, and you haven't been at the hotel, they can just look and see that you didn't sneak back in, what staff key unlocked the door since you left.

The first morning I'm at a hotel, I find the nice lady who will be cleaning my room. I introduce myself, tell her my room number, and say "I don't believe in waiting until I leave to take care of the people who take care of me" and give her a few dollars. Doing this has always resulted in positive outcomes...sometimes VERY positive outcomes. One I'll share is that when I ask for extra soap and shampoo, they provide it...every day...even knowing there is No Way I'm going to use that much on a daily basis. I just keep putting the extras away, out of sight. I don't have to buy soap or shampoo for months after I get home LOL I also couldn't tell you the last time I had to buy pens or note paper.

[jonquist]

If I found a hotel employee sleeping in my bed I'd probably ask them to empty their pockets to make sure they didn't steal anything, tell them I won't rat on them for taking a nap & them let them go about their day.

[TampaJohn]

I knew a maid who told me that guys would pretend not to hear the door and when she walked in, they’d be whacking off and act surprised that the maid walked in. That’s definitely top five material.

[stonecold]

People are so bored in life they make videos of hotel maid confessions, and then I watch them.

[DJEmirMixtapes]

Would have been interesting to see pictures of the aftermath of the chocolate fountain fiasco LOL

[SirWeedBongVentura]

I've worked on the road enough to know, hotel/motel staff - despite all the wrong-doings they encounter, even if you're the [guest] kind that isn't overtly neat, yet respectable enough - the staff may still commit their own wrongdoings. I prefer to make arrangements to accommodate myself; while saving all parties of any undesirables. That's one of the reasons I don't travel for work anymore.
