I've never stayed in a hotel that was so grotty it grossed me out. I walk around barefoot and use the kettle and cups, it's a wonder I'm still alive. Me too. Well one hotel was awful, but we had no other choice at the time and had car issues on an 18 hour drive home. I really just don't give it a second thought.

Penis remote.
I picture men running themselves, hands in pants watching tv -and using the remote. I can’t deal with it.

My, god. Where on earth are you people staying? $39 a night places? You get what you pay for. I love hotels. Love love them. I've really never worried about any of the things you've talked about. There's a line in one Modern Family where Manny says "Motel or Hotel? There's a vast amenities difference when the M changes to and H" (est.) hilarious

I honestly couldn’t tell you that I’ve ever worried about anything in recent hotels I’ve stayed in. I do carry a travel pack of Lysol wipes for the remote, but that’s about it.

The price should indicate the amenities and comfort, but not cleanliness.

You will find negative reviews for cleanliness.

The glasses. After seeing a video of the maid cleaning the toilet then washing the room glasses with the toilet brush I can never use them. Or the ice bucket.

I hate finding hair, especially on the shower walls. I'm almost always traveling alone, just me and three dogs, so I can't carry all the luggage and a pillow (though that would be nice). I always use flip flops and use disinfectant wipes on doors, switches, and remotes (really anything that everybody would touch).

In the same tv expo about room glasses not being clean they said it’s very easy for the maid to not change the pillow case. See to strip the bed she first throws the pillows to the side, then removes the sheets. Well if you’re not paying attention it’s easy to just put the same pillows back on the bed after the new sheets are on forgetting that you didn’t change the pillowcase.

I binge-watched Hotel Impossible for a year or so and it changed my hotel-staying life.
I always check for bed bugs now.
I don't use the glasses unless they're plastic cups sealed in a plastic cover or I wash them first.
I'm not bringing a pillow/blanket/duvet cover with me on a plane so I just kind of have to shut my eyes and not think about it, but I do check for obvious filth and ask for replacements. Haven't had to do this for myself, but when we traveled the west coast this past summer, used linens were left on the pull-out sofa that DS was going to use. My main complaint with hotel linens is that they are part/all polyester and extremely uncomfortable to sleep on.
I always bring flip-flops to walk around.
Remote gets a wipe down.

When we stay in a hotel, we always ditch the bedspread, never go barefoot on the carpet, put the remote in a ziploc bag, wipe the faucet handles with a clorox wipe...I think that's about it. We don't use the coffee maker and only use the cups that are pre wrapped.

The reusable glasses are a no-go for me. I know they aren’t “properly” washed. If there are wrapped disposable cups, I’m good with those.
Otherwise, I’m good with hotel rooms, as long as they look and smell clean.
