Fox 5’s Dana Fowle Sticks It To Local Hotels

November 6, 2007

I like Dana Fowle a lot. She is quite fun in real life, is a darn good reporter, and she is looking really swanky lately… Anyway, Fox 5’s I-Team - which Dana is a part of- has done this undercover work on the hotels in our area and discovered how gross they are. Really gross. Things like not washing sheets if someone stays in the room only one night, or washing out the room water glasses with cleaner rather than soap and water. My favorite part of the story was watching the cleaning person talk on her cell phone as she puts a clearly marked DO NOT DRINK substance in the glasses and then wipes them down. As Dana says, “What we found out is hard to swallow.” (Get it? Dirty water glasses…)

The I-Team took hidden cameras into places like the Downtown Holiday Inn, Alpharetta Embassy Suites, Sheraton Galleria Suites, and the Ritz!! and caught some really disgusting things. In case you missed the actual news this evening or last evening, you can go to Dana’s blog which I have so kindly linked to up in the first paragraph. Oh, and be sure to clean your own room AND bring your own glasses and towels next time you go to a hotel. Eesh!

Dana Fowle kicks butt!

Ashley! Thanks for noticing the story. We thought it was gross too, but more than that it’s a health hazard. I’ve heard so many people say, I’ll just take my own cup when I travel. Why? These aren’t cheap hotels. The Ritz is pricey. For that high price are you expected to bring your own cups? That’s like saying, I’m going to this great restaurant for my anniversary but I’m bringing my own fork. No. Demand from the hotels that you get what you pay for. Not only that, but that you get what the health code requires.

Love Ashley! I’ll be sure to check out your blog more often.
