Have you ever found a syringe in your hotel room?

Brian J asked:


I stayed the weekend at motel 6 in Salt Lake City, and found 3 loaded syringes in my room on the final night. One was located on the floor behind the door. I complained to management and they only offered to refund the final night.

That means I slept 4 nights in a hotel room with syringes. Who knows what was in the syringes, and who knows if there were more. What if they were in my bed? What if my 5 year old nephew found them before I did?

I think it is totally unacceptable, and at the very least should receive a full refund for the entire 4 night stay.

What should I do? Can I contest the charges on my credit card bill? I filed a complaint with the area office, but they didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. Am I responsible for searching my room for syringes when I check into a hotel?

   ohmygod thats sick and creepy.. the hotel should have cleaned the room better and gotten rid of them.. geez.. i wonder what was in them… that’s soo weird.. i might sue if i were you.. at least get a refund, yes…. no you should not be responsible for checking your room for syringes when you check in to your room, that’s just insane..

   Why didnt you find another motel or hotel? I would have left asap!!! It just goes to show what kind of people stay at tose places. We refuse to ever stay at one ever again.
