During my career as a pilot i have spent countless nights in hotel rooms.

Between 2005,06,07 and 08 alone i spent approximately 1,010 nights in hotels. everything from off brands to Hiltons

I have found lipstick all over the glassware.

I have found feces on towels.

I have found grimy body outlines on the sheets.

I have found bedbugs on and in the mattress.

I have had stabbing victims wander into the hotel lobby while checking in.

I have had a crew member removed from duty because of bullets fired through his hotel window at night.

I have found a 10 inch long turd in a hotel hall way.

I have had people mistakenly given keys to my room late at night more times than i can count.

I have had to eat more hungry man turkey and mashed potato dinners all alone for thanksgiving in some low rent hotel room than i care to think about.




as a result, i cant think of ANYTHING i could possibly want from a hotel room bad enough to steal it.

Well, at least Berbunch is honest.

I'm too much of a square to steal things from hotels, little bottles of shower products included, and that ain't the half of it. When I leave a hotel room, I empty the trash, fold and sort the used linens and towels, and leave a tip for the maids with a nice "thank you" note. It just feels wrong to do anything less.

That tells a lot about the quality of the places you stayed in .

Remind me never to stay in the same hotel as GR.

Mind you, he's probably saying that about me, too.

So when you recommend the hotel in Kuwait ... because of their towels,

Red Roof Inn
Quality Inn and Suites
America's best value inn
Hilton Garden Inn
Hampton Inn
Waldorf Astoria NYC
Holiday Inn


as for all my nights in hotels at various places... Hampton Inn has become my preference.

Red Roof Inn has proven to be the most bang for the buck if you can snag the right discounts.

I managed to stay several nights in a Red Roof Inn in Dallas for $30 a night once.

No hotel room is as clean as you think it is.

I never got to check them to see if it looked like she'd blown her nose in them
