      I forgot where I saw it, but someone took a blacklight to Hilton Hampton Inn and then to a airbnb in the same area of Chicago, and the Hilton was way cleaner. Think it was on tiktok. Most Hiltons I’ve stayed in are spotless. Except one time in South Bend Indiana, the DoubleTree, one of the worst hotels I’ve ever been too.

        Yeah, I’ve done the black light check at hotels before. I was pleasantly surprised.

        One tip though: They don’t usually change the top comforter in between guests. They’ll typically change the sheets, but the comforter is only changed on a regular (typically weekly) schedule. But they’ll be happy to change it for you if you ask.

        Unless it’s a honeymoon suite. That shit all gets changed in between every guest, for obvious reasons.

        At least in the southeast US, Hiltons are hit and miss. Holiday Inn Express is the most consistent in my expirence.

          I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels all around the US (and a few abroad), ranging from 1 to 5 stars. I’ve found that the age of the hotel is the primary factor in the quality of the room.

          It seems like they build them nicely, but then never seem to have (or want to spend) the money to maintain them. There are exceptions, certainly, but I’ve seen maintenance issues even in high end hotels.

      As opposed to Airbnbs which ask guests to clean their own sheets and I guess use the honor system that they actually did it.
