Hotels are largely gross. I don't use Hipmunk because it told me to stay here. My favorite quote:

    About a year ago I was traveling alone and asked for a room for one. The lady at the desk, who seemed very nice, told me they only had double rooms, but that she would charge me for a single if I agreed to only 'dirty' one of the beds. Bad sign. So I show up in the room. At 3 am I finally go to get under the covers. I lift the top sheet off the bed, and I kid you not, someone had TAKEN A DUMP right there on the bed. So I go to get in the second bed without the feces, and it was covered in this strange white powder, maybe mites or dandruff or something.

I remember you bringing that to my attention a while back, it's just disgusting. I hate hotels that are largely carpeted. You know that they never shampoo that shit. A vacuum doesn't get up anything and the carpets are always nasty.

Even the nicest hotels are like wearing a suit that thousands of others have also worn and only slightly cleaned afterwards. It takes some serious denial to not be grossed out. Think of the nastiest thing you've done in a hotel and multiply it considerably.

I'm content to imagine there's just cum everywhere.

Whenever I see used furniture for sale at the Goodwill, I always imagine that whoever got rid of it had sex on it. I think this is probably a safe assumption. If they did not, their teenage children surely did (not with each other though, hopefully).

This is a safe assumption in college dorms as well.

It is an advantage bed'n'breakfasts enjoy - at least the owners have to sleep under the same roof as your debauchery.
