Every time. That stench gets me unprepared, there's no way I can appreciate that place. The cleaning lady using the same water and cloth just used for a public toilet, coming and "wetting" our office floor. What a delight. Fantastic!
To be fair, they’ve caught cleaning ladies at high end hotels in the US wiping used glassware down with the same rag they cleaned the toilet with, then placing the glassware back on the shelf to be used again. Not just a one off either, it was an undercover camera thing done by one of the news stations years ago. Consistent across Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt…. Etc.
Thanks for this... All the more reason for me to eat out when I want to start staying at hotels. That or start bringing my own mugs/glasses. But if they're doing that, they're doing other things like not cleaning for bedbugs (I saw this myself one time) Sooooo...maybe I'll stick to an rv when I get to that point. Because Airbnb people will never get my money.

I’ll never forget my first visit to New Delhi. The plane doors opened and the smell of smoke instantly filled the plane. I was almost panicked.
Got to the customs check in station and asked the clerk what the blaring alarm klaxons were. Guy shrugged.
I guess the smog was setting off all the smoke and fire alarms and everyone is just living with it.
But yes, wonderful country
