A woman in Wisconsin says she found snakes all around the hotel she was staying at: in the pool, in the hot tub, and even in the hallway slithering under a door into a guest's room

A summer getaway in Germantown, Wisconsin, included a slithery, unwelcome surprise.
Michelle Griese and her 4-year-old son booked a stay at the Country Inn and Suites by Radisson in Germantown last week and were greeted by snakes in the hallway, hot tub, and pool, according to local outlet WISN.
Griese also witnessed a snake scoot under a fellow guest's doorway during their nightmarish stay — and it's still unclear where the reptiles spawned from.
Video taken by Griese when she tried to go swimming showed a snake wriggling through the water. "Sure enough, I go in, and there's a snake in the hot tub," she told WISN.
Afterward, she saw another snake sliding down the hotel hallway, right into the room of another guest. "I literally watched the snake slither under this person's door," she told the outlet.
Griese said she knocked on the man's door to let him know but he was already aware, and grabbed a plunger to try and catch the snake.
Michael Herhold, another guest at the hotel, told WISN his friend also saw a snake struggling to get out of the hot tub, so he grabbed the snake using his shirt to rescue it.
The hotel did not provide comment when reached by Insider. Radisson, which owns the hotel, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
WISN reported the Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department conducted an inspection on Tuesday, during which time a snakeskin was found. One hotel employee told the inspector he thought a pregnant snake may have gotten inside when a guest left a door open. The department did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
While it's unclear how the snakes got into the hotel, snakes have been known to get inside homes through the piping or even the toilet, though it is not very common.
When a snake was pulled from a toilet in Arizona earlier this month, Bryan Hughes, the owner of Rattlesnake Solutions, recently told Insider that his company is generally called one to two times a year about a snake in a toilet.
"It's something that happens" maybe once or twice a year, Hughes said, but added that it's "very rare."
