We have a tendency to view hotels as a place to kick back and get rid of the pressures of daily life. However, for the hotel workers, their experience can be quite the opposite. In this article, we’ve gathered real accounts from hotel employees that span from awkward to utterly sh0cking, offering us a newfound appreciation for the dedication of these hardworking people.
Story 1
While working at a small boutique hotel, a woman came to the desk, visibly shaken. She said, “I can’t find my husband. He’s not in the room, and all his clothes are still there. He’s a sleepwalker.”
Immediately, I head up to the CCTV station located in our linen storage to check the cameras. As I open the door and turn on the light, I’m shocked to see her naked husband asleep, sprawled across our bundled duvet covers, with one half of a duvet covering him.
I woke him up, and, of course, he had no idea where he was. I wrapped him up and took him back to his wife. The couple checked out later, and the guy was extremely embarrassed. I told him not to worry about it, as he had given me a great story to share. © sbouvette / Reddit

Story 3
As the owner of a bed and breakfast for the past eight years, the craziest thing I ever found was an old, battered notebook titled “Why I Love Salad.” Inside, there were literally 40–80 pages devoted to why salad was amazing. Occasionally, the author even suggested that they believed salad to be alive in some sense. It looked like it had been written sporadically over the course of several years. © ShaneMcDeath / Reddit
Story 4
There was a guy who stayed at least one night every week and always requested the same room. We suspected he might be involved in something shady, so we searched the room after he checked out one day.
To our surprise, we found he was hiding a blow-up doll under the mattress. We threw it away, and he only came back once after that. I kind of felt bad for him. © Lancerman360 / Reddit
Story 5
I worked for four years cleaning inexpensive motel rooms. Once, we had a guest stay for an entire week without letting housekeeping into his room. Each day, we brought him fresh towels and trash bags, and he would meet us at the door to take them.
When he finally left, we were terrified of what we might find, but the room was spotless. He hadn’t touched a thing and had even cleaned with bleach. All the towels we’d given him were neatly folded, apparently unused. Even the bed was just as we’d left it. Super weird. © feedmeyourspaghetti / Reddit

Story 7
While working as a cleaner in a hotel, I went to clean a guest’s room, dreading it since they’d been there for a bachelor party. When I opened the door, I found… a goat. I have no idea how it got there, but it made for a good story for a while. © bluepaul / Reddit
Story 8
A friend of mine worked as a temp cleaner at a hotel in Sydney. It wasn’t really disgusting or weird, but one day, the residents had decided to cover the bathroom floor—and the mirrors—with… mayonnaise. © Lachshmock / Reddit
