Spring for The Penthouse
Posted by Bill The dirty little secrets of hotel rooms: But UA's Gerba found a “statistically significant” relationship between a room's price and bacteria levels in a study of 12 Tucson hotels a decade ago. The pricier the room, the fewer bacteria found, he said. Dirtiest object in the room? From a study of Tucson hotels, University of Arizona microbiology Professor Chuck Gerba found TV remotes hold more than batteries. He said he has even found fecal bacteria on remote controls. Mmmmmmm. "Fecal bacteria." I used to be a corporate marketing guy at a large hotel company, and for commiserating purposes, they had a bunch of us visit a site and duplicate the activities of the hotel personnel. Hands-down, the maids have it the worst; cleaning those rooms is tough, tough work. Between that and the pay, I can't blame them for half-assing it all that much.

Thanks for the mental image. *laugh* Posted by: Skerdog at April 22, 2004 12:19 PM So that $59 a nite Comfort Inn I stayed at in Wilmington, NC on Tuesday should have had a remote that was a "steamy log" with buttons.
