when you stay at a hotel you expect
fresh clean sheets but how would you
know for sure well our investigative
team came up with a simple kind of
ingenious test they rented a hotel room
checked out and then the next day
checked into the exact same room under a
different name did house cleaning
changed the sheets here's an mer cog
Liana with a great Inside Edition Hotel
sheet test we got to wondering do hotels
always change sheets when new guests
check in we booked ourselves into nine
hotel rooms and each time we sprayed
this harmless washable fluorescent paint
onto the bedsheet using this stencil you
can't tell anything is written there but
turn on our UV light and presto there it
is I slept here glowing bowls and
brights at the Candlewood Inn & Suites
in Manhattan we sure left our mark Wow
there it is I slips here nice and big
then we checked out it should have been
clear to any maid that the bed had been
slept in
the next day we booked the exact same
room but under a different name okay
here we are back at the Candlewood Inn &
Suites we stayed in this room last night
we rechecked in let's take a look these
should be clean sheets let's see
disgusting these sheets are dirty look
at this I need a manager up here I'm
Andrew cog lianna with Inside Edition we
want to just show you something on the
bed okay
this sheet hasn't been changed why
weren't the sheets changed okay I I
expect them to be changed every day and
that is a policy of our property was it
just a simple mistake or is this a
common occurrence a dirty little secret
in the hotel industry I slept here at
this LaQuinta Eden Suites not far from
Central Park we did it again spraying I
slept here on the bedsheet and when we
returned under a new reservation the
neck
day here we go look at what we found and
the proof is in the paint take a look at
this this is disgusting they didn't
change the sheets and I need a manager
right away how are you when he arrived
at our room he brought a maid with him
she claims she cleaned the sheets do you
change the sheets but when I showed them
our sign
they both apologized that's gross I mean
there's no worse for me to say you know
we expected our husky up as a change the
sheets at this Residence Inn by Marriott
a hotel rated one diamond by the
triple-a we sprayed the word yuck on the
top sheet is yuck and then I slept here
on the bottom sheets and for the pillows
how about the Inside Edition logo the
results light up the room let's see what
happens when we check in the next day
under a different name
let's check the pillows all right
looks like they've changed the
pillowcases let's check the top sheet
maybe it's clean and yuck exactly this
is a dirty sheet
let's check the bottom sheet ok another
dirty sheet I slept here this is
absolutely disgusting
at first the manager didn't want to talk
about it why weren't the sheets changed
we know those sheets weren't changed to
get accustomed to change every checkout
route sheet however I do not know what
happened in this situation I will have
to get you my general manager ok but we
could have slept on dirty sheets tonight
what do you think about that in your
hotel not to make you queasy but the
next time you stay at a hotel you might
want to bring your own sheets just gross
the Marriott corporation apologized and
all the hotels told us they take great
pride in high standards of cleanliness
throughout their hotels and that they
take this issue very seriously saying
they have taken immediate action to
ensure this doesn't happen again
all told three out of the nine hotel
rooms we checked had dirty sheets
meantime if you're concerned your hotel
sheets might not always be clean you can
just ask housekeeping to bring you fresh
ones
