Would you use/trust a hot tub/jetted tub in a hotel room?

I'm not suppose to anymore due to my immune system. I used to not care but now I have to be careful and they specifically said no to those types of things.

Dh and I went away for a couple of days last October. I had no problem using the jacuzzi. No issues months later, and i'd do it again without a second thought.

When I was young and didn't think of such things, DH and I used private in-room hot tubs quite a bit. Now that I've been a pea, I'd worry about how and how often they are cleaned!

yes, the peas have definitely enlightened me to the nightmares of bacteria and other gross things that are not visible to the human eye. so, no, I would not trust or use a hotel tub either in or out of the room. the thought of even one pube evading the cleaning brush keeps me firmly out of the tub.

In room? No. In the pool area or public spa? Yep.

I just wouldn't trust that the in room tub was cleaned properly, the housekeepers have to turn so many rooms and quickly that I would think they would not do a thorough job in each room.

My daughter got her one and only yeast diaper rash a couple of days after I bathed her in a normal tub in a hotel room. This was a five-star hotel too. It is possible it was just a coincidence but I now bring my own Clorox wipes when I travel and do a quick swipe of the tub along with the counter and remote.

Yeah. Just like I frivolously eat at restaurants where people might mess with my food, and I don't wash new clothes before I wear them, and I sleep under the hotel room comforter, and I eat prepackaged foods.

I know that there are horror stories, but I just prefer not to live my life in a bubble.

I wouldn't as people use the in room hot tub to "get busy" so no thanks

I probably would use it if the room appeared to be otherwise clean. 

Would you not use the bed either?

 I am trained on sanitizing...bleach solution, spray, let sit at least two minutes, wipe clean.


I know how hard it was to keep my own hot tub clean. I found out the hard way with a nasty itchy rash during the first few months of ownership. So, no!

In the room, no, but pool area yeah.

We always have a Spa tub in our room when we stay in DVC suites at Disney World. I bring dishwasher tabs with me for the dishwasher while we are there. I run a bathtub with all hot water and a dishwasher tab, bubbles going, for about 20 minutes after we check in. Then we use it for the week.

There is no way you could prevent my boys from using the bubbles - it is part of what they look forward to.

Good gravy. So basically the Ps have to bring their own cleaning supplies, sheets, and toilet liners to stay in a hotel.
Not something that even enters my mind to do. Germs are everywhere. You can be unlucky anywhere.

I don't use tubs at all. The idea of taking a bath anywhere gives me the heebie-jeebies. I can't fathom why sitting in your own filth is a good thing. Ick. Plus, I find sitting in a bath or hot tub to be really, really boring.
