Yeah, I assumed they would knowingly under-pay, destroy things, then say “we had a contract. That’s all the money you get.”

I would still ban them from the hotel since it would take time to repair the hotel which would be a loss of revenue. Besides, who needs that stress?

i wanna know what group knows they're gonna cause damage, pays for the damage, and generally writes it off like this is normal. It wouldn't surprise me if the damage fee they were charged included reasonable like fees for parts of the hotel that were closed until repairs could be made

[@1300BlueStar]

@@raraavis7782 Might have more than one. Friend of a friend used to have a pair of Sugar Gliders and when traveling the cage was kept covered. If one got out you would still hear the one inside so if you didn't make sure both were in the cage before you checked out it might be a bit before you discovered one had escaped.

[@raraavis7782]

@@1300BlueStar True. Well, at least they had the decency, to call as soon as they noticed. I'm curious, about whether or not the hotel charged them anything extra for all the trouble. It's a 'pet friendly' hotel, if I remember correctly, so they probably didn't sneak the animal in secretly, at least.

I've experienced all of these, including someone leaving their prosthetic foot (High end sport model). I drove the foot to the airport as their flight hadn't left yet. (Benefit of a less active airport, easy to look up most likely flights.) Our "damages" story included a warning of "If you put these two people on the same floor one will be dead by the next day." Fun!

[@big8dog887]

I guess we should have expected a marsupial to look for a pocket.

[@The_Dudester]

At the hotel I managed, had a guest report the theft of 40k bucks. Apparently, there is a practice in the horse racing industry that you go to a pre-determined location, speak with the people in the room, leave them the cash, then go outside and wait (10-15 minutes) for them to tell you yes or no if they'll sell the horse. So, the guys leave the cash and after half an hour, knock on the door. Since it was a first floor room, one of them went around and found the back sliding glass door open and the two guy + cash-gone. So, we called the cops. After a cop arrives, he goes to the guy's room. He comes back about 15 minutes later and actually says "Did you know that those guys actually had 40k in cash taken?" Since it was a really stupid question I replied "No s*it Sherlock. What was your first clue? Oh yeah, when we called you." He gave me a dirty look and walked out. A detective arrived a half hour later. We cooperated and gave the popo the front desk video and folio card (this was the early 90's, we still used paper). No clue if the perps were caught.

[@carissalynnftw]

Regarding the final story about the pre-paid damages… What kind of organization did this? I’m not asking for a name drop but at least a category. Was it a “wrestling” entertainment group like the WWE or something? Because I can’t even begin to fathom what other group of people would be expected to do THAT much damage to a hotel room. And WTF why did they steal the toilets!?

[@erichanastacio9695]

My guess would be.. They're full of crap.

[@tylerorr6481]

Considering WWE makes their wrestlers pay for their own travel expenses I’d say it probably wasn’t a wrestling company.

[@MeredithHagan]

Honestly it sounds more like a rock band with young members. If they make enough money then the record label will shell out to clean up after them.

[@_hunnybe]

Idk why my mind immediately thought furry convention...since a lot of them like to act like animals, not only dress up as them

[@bamacopeland4372]

Rock band. The Who were required to put up a pre-damaged deposit before their stay. There are a couple others I just can't think of off the top of my head that would sometimes go ahead and put a deposit down because their managers knew the members would get wild and destroy stuff.

[@erichanastacio9695]

Aside from the damages, they should pay for the X number of days the rooms were unavailable as being repaired. I thought that the person who lost the leg prosthesis in one hotel... wounded up lost in the other hotel. 😆😆😆

The most infamous wedding party we dealt with at my Resort had two different people do unhinged shit. One guy got in a fight with his wife and got up on the roof from their balcony and slept on the roof the entire night. No one noticed until a manager showed up at 7: 00. And the other guy got in a fight with his wife and slammed his head through the double paned glass sliding door to their balcony. I don't know how he is alive. I'm surprised he didn't slash his jugular. He had a couple scratches and a concussion, and a 5k damages bill. The poor couple throwing the wedding were so embarrassed of their friends behavior

[@ratracer89]

I worked in hotels until the Blood and Condom room incident. That was my "I'm out" moment.

[@DeathnoteBB]

And you know the people who actually had to fix the rooms did not see a cent of that money 😭😫

[@FairbrookWingates]

Actually, they did in the form of paychecks. Housekeeping did what they usually do, I imagine, and got paid what they usually get paid. For the major repairs I also imagine special contractors were called in and paid whatever rates they charged for work that, to them, is fairly standard. And the damage fees paid covered these paychecks, materials and lost revenue from days the rooms couldn't be sold after. Now, you can argue hotel staff aren't paid what they are worth in the first place, but that's a different argument.

[@margaretschaufele6502]

I'm glad the manager took food and water for that poor creature, and yeah some marsupials are the cutest little things. As for that last story, hopefully management banned that group from the hotel. That is ridiculous. How do you even steal a toilet and why would you WANT to?

Oof, the hotel I'm at also has a group like the last one mentioned... They were with us last year and BOY they brought in a pretty penny, but man did they also have to pay extra for the chaos they caused. The best/worst part is, a couple months afterwards, I was gossiping with one of the baristas and she was like "but that group is banned from the hotel now, right?" And one of my sales managers had just finalized a multi-year contract with said group... I didn't have the heart to tell her that they were going to be back in 2026

[@JohnW118]

The last group pre-paying for 'damages' also needed to be charged for the future unsellable empty rooms until they were able to be repaired. Sounds like the whole hotel for at least a week or 10-days. At least... Some items would have a long-lead order time. That would be more than "several thousand dollars" wouldn't it?

[@debbiethomas2622]

Hold up... how do you steal toilets without having water damage from the pipes, not only in that room but the room(s) below them? 😮 Got them out of the building without it being caught on security cameras? No, you can't make this stuff up 😅

[@splendidcolors]

I have no experience with "public restroom" type toilets, but I know that "residential" toilets have a prominent valve you can shut off to do repairs. It's usually below the tank on the left side (or whatever makes sense in the space, I guess.) Of course, that's assuming whoever works on it is sober enough to think of shutting off the water.

[@nessat6335]

BRUH... saying "marsupial" is very VERY unspecific - BE SPECIFIC - is it an opossum that can and will stink if it plays dead, a kangaroo that can and will kill you if it wants to, or an adorable sugar glider??? It matters what it is! What was the actual marsupial? :O PS: Also, that's like saying they left a "rodent" in the room - BE SPECIFIC - is it a rat, a guinea pig, a hamster or a chinchilla??? It matters what it is. PS: I personally think rats are awesome, but not mice, but I'm a weirdo, but chinchillas are super soft and adorable and oh-my-goodness!!!)

[@janejdough2230]

[@amberhynes1131]

At least they did pay for the damages, maybe if you keep that contract you might be able to just slowly upgrade every room in the hotel then cancel it. Then you'll have a nicer hotel at least in theory sounds like it could work. Replace the broken stuff with slightly more upgraded versions. I dunno

Fun times-and one time at the conference center I worked at, they didn’t know somebody had brought a CHICKEN until housekeeping found it in the room’s bathroom. You know, baby gate, food, water, etc. Like…???

I worked security at a tribal casino. I was called to a hotel room by housekeeping. They found a loaded firearm under a bed pillow. I took pictures and returned with it to the security office where tribal police took custody of the weapon. A few hours later a federal officer of some type contacted us about her duty weapon being left in the room. Tribal police took all her information and contacted the employer / boss. She was terminated and the firearm was returned to the agency.

I was awaiting my flight to get out of New Orleans on a trip to rural LA; closest flight for my 6’7” frame. Guy comes to the airport bar where I’m having breakfast and says he had been on Bourbon Street during the trip for his 50th bday, and had been roofied. Thankfully nothing happened to him, but he heard stories from some Navy folks out of Belle Chase. People trying to steal information are rampant there (but so are good folks); I bet the *professional* ladies had unlocked his phone using his face after tying him up, like almost happened to this poor man.
