Those sheets And pillowcases may have been sprayed with invisible ink, but it was clear that no one had slept on them. Why change them if they haven’t been touched, even now? There wouldn’t be any active virus on them. Even in the instance where the bed wasn’t remade, it looked like no one had slept there. I’ve often slept in a room with two queen beds, but I only use one. Sometimes I’ve laid a suitcase or clothes on the other bed. I certainly wouldn’t expect the cleaning staff to change sheets on that bed. In expensive hotels, it’s not unheard of for people to rent a room but end up sleeping in someone else’s room.

The handprint and the fingerprints on the remote control concern me, but if the staff thinks the room hasn’t been used, why would they clean the remote control or the thermostat? They would assume it hadn’t been touched.

It would be interesting to run the same tests on rooms that have clearly been used—where the remote control is on an unmade bed and the air conditioning temp has been changed and there are wet towels. I suspect that the cleaning would be much more thorough.

I’d also like to see that the cleaning staff are wearing masks properly and gloves. Also, what is the quality of the air filtration? Is there a HEPA filter? Probably not. When did someone last use the room? Has it been aired out?

The problem is we have no way of knowing and going by trust in someone we do not know.

Therefore no hotels for us at this time.

It was demonstrated in Trump's hotel, the sheets were changed, towels changed but the pillow cases were not changed. Again....did anyone really sleep in the bed?

Yeah maybe, maybe not.

Housekeeping staff often have more to do than time allows.

Bottom line, I will stay home or take my RV and pass on a hotel room for now.

Thank you for the note. We are driving to Wisconsin end of July, or hope to. Sounds like sleeping bags may be in order. Again, many thanks.

The air conditioning is my biggest concern.

I am curious to know what hotel let’s the room sit vacant for three days

Probably not on purpose but lack of demand
