While traveling to a new destination means exploring new foods and cities, there’s nothing quite like stepping into a fresh hotel room. Whether you’re staying in a budget hotel or splurged on luxury accommodations, it turns out there’s a bit more ick in the room than you probably expected. TikToker and hotelier @queenevangeline25 recently went viral for the list of things she’d never do at a hotel, and it turns out the most significant issues have to do with cleanliness. While you might think to wipe down common surfaces like the kettle in the room, the dirtiest part of a hotel room might be where you rest your head.
The video has racked up over 800,000 views and has many commenters questioning why they are paying for a hotel room that hasn’t been adequately cleaned. Like every other industry in travel, hotels are still recovering from the pandemic. An American Hotel & Lodging Association survey found that 97 percent of hotels still report staffing shortages, with the most impacted department being housekeeping at 58 percent of properties. With checkout at 11 AM and check-in typically at 3 PM, housekeepers have four hours to run through their sections, making a deep clean unlikely. It’s also wise to check your bedding for bed bugs, just in case. Commenters mentioned bringing their own Lysol spray and Clorox wipes to give the room a thorough tidying before settling in. @QueenEvangeline25 also said she always wipes down the hotel remote and won’t use the glass cups in the room without washing them.
Like watching out for the dirtiest spots on your flight, a few quick steps to tidy the dirtiest parts of your hotel room will offer peace of mind.

Everywhere I turn in Athens, my past rises up to meet me. That café was once a pastry shop where our babysitter would buy us treats when I lived here as a child—pain au chocolat for my brother, lemon-filled doughnut for me. We moved to the US when I was seven, but I've returned to Greece nearly every summer since I was 14. This square is where I scored scalped tickets to the 2004 Olympics. That church is where I lit candles every year on my annual trip, in hope or gratitude: Let me do well on that exam, find a job, get pregnant.
As 2023 draws to a close, there is nothing more exciting than the prospect of planning an unforgettable trip for the coming year. If travel is on your bucket list for 2024, you're not alone. Get some inspiration with these 21 unique events happening across the globe that are worth traveling for.
Sometimes you need a break from reality and the fast-paced lifestyle so many of us live.

In Wisconsin, nature and wellness experiences are readily available for all, whether you’re after adventure, relaxation, or just reconnecting with yourself.
You don't need me to remind you that points and miles can be used for fancy flights and posh hotel stays.
