Knowing someone who cleans hotel rooms for a living the reason some parts of the room will be very clean, like the chrome lights or bathroom fixtures, but something gross is still on the wall is because there is a daily, weekly and monthly schedule for all of it. They have so little time they can't really deviate from the list and although they're supposed to take care of anything dirty they notice no matter where it is you get tunnel vision because of how fast you're working and things get missed. That gross spot on the wall will be gone in a week I would wager.

I had a summer job as a housekeeper once, and in general we were told to only clean and polish what's immediately visible (chrome fittings in bathrooms, tables, Nespresso machines, door handles etc) We were given 15 minutes per room if we were alone (this includes making two double beds, vaccuuming, cleaning the bathroom, restocking on toiletries and coffee, taking the rubbish out) or 10 minutes if we worked as a pair on the room. Needless to say, we quickly ran in, changed the bedding, hastily did the rest, and of course we weren't given enough rags and chemicals so we often had to wipe down desks and tables with the same rags that we wiped toilet seats with... When it comes to chemicals we were only given bleach, and we were told to dilute the bleach with water when cleaning surfaces outside of the bathroom... For the record, this was a fancy 4-star hotel, not some grubby roadside motel. After that job I will never look at hotel rooms the same way🥴 The rooms were meant to feel clean, not be clean if you know what I mean.

It is often worse. The daily cleaning is done by a "XYZ Cleaning LLC", the weekly checks from "jeiohwjbkd Maintenance LLC" and the monthly repairs by even another LLC. All owned by the same who owns the hotel. So one cannot do something the others are supposed to do.

Having stayed in Day's Inns all over the UK, I can honestly say on the whole they are perfectly functional, clean and value for money. The biggest problem without rival is the clientele they can attract. Hen and stag parties, uncontrolled children and smokers flaunting the rules. I can completely sympathize with staff ( usually 2 or 3 ) not being able to or frankly not paid enough to deal with the underclasses that can make a night's stay one of life's lesser joys.

Yeah, grounded special outlets with covers on them are allowed in bathroooms in Norway as well. No minimum distance, but the electrician should see to thet they have little chance of shortcircuiting with water, even if the have these lids. It is practival, cleaning your bathroom with steam get simpler if you don't have to go out of the bathrooom to charge the steamer, and of course, apartments often have their washer- dryer in there, there should be plumming in all bathrooms alllowing this, as well as a grated floor drain.

Stayed in a Travelodge a few weeks ago near London. It was an older Travelodge which claimed to be refurbished, but actually was just repainted to look like the new Travelodge rooms, with old solid wooden furniture. The room still used a normal key rather than a key card, no fan, floor in the bathroom wasn’t clean, rubbish under the chair which had a collapsed arm, the large gap under the door allowed for too much noise and light into the room and to top it off, the bathroom fan continuously blared all night. All of this for the same price as a new Travelodge.

As an American, there does not seem to be that much difference between the UK & US Days Inns in terms of the room layout, though the UK Days Inn is significantly cleaner than its US counterpart. A room like the one you stayed in would be quite rare to find at a US Days Inn as most of the rooms when it comes to this brand have are quite dirty with things such as mold on the walls, peeling paint & even bed bugs. Days Inn's in the US like Travelodge, Econo Lodge & Super 8 also have a reputation of attracting illegal activity & should be viewed as a last resort when visiting the US.

That was an interesting point about electrical sockets. I was surprised when I emigrated from the U.K. to Austria to find that bathrooms here often have several 230-volt sockets - our washing machine is plugged into one near our bath and there are others between the bath and the toilet and next to the wash basin and above the basin it in the bathroom cabinet. I've never heard of anyone having problems with electrical sockets in the bathroom, i.e. it seems safe - the plug sockets are not in a position where they get splashed with water for example!

Australian regulations around electrical sockets in bathrooms are strict. Sockets are not allowed in bathrooms or shower rooms (apart from shaver-supply units) unless they can be fitted at least three metres from the bath or shower. Many older houses do not comply with this though.

Days Inn inherited a lot of motorway services hotels over the years, probably through franchise agreements with the mororway services operators. This one you're at was built as a Forte Travelodge in the era where Forte owned both Welcome Break and Travelodge, hence the reason it looks like an early 90s Travelodge building. When Granada took over Forte it sold off Welcome Break and the new owners decided to go with Days Inn as their partner instead. Likewise Roadchef now use Days Inn too. This one looks very recently refurbished. I like it. Days Inn were one of the last to get rid of smoking rooms too so that may explain doing such a major refurbishment.

Two of the big three motorway service operators run Days Inns - Welcome Break & Roadchef. The Welcome Break sites like the one you visited as far better than the Roadchef ones as Welcome Break have spent some money on them whereas Roadchef haven't done anything with them since the days when they were Premier Inns. If you were to visit a Roadchef one you would likely walk away with a different perspective to the brand
