What emerged was a series of shortcuts being taken by the staff, as well as a number of serious hygiene transgressions, all clearly against expected practices.
At the DoubleTree, the maid did not replace the pillowcases and also used the same towel to dry the toilet and shower and scrub the counter in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, at the Holiday Inn the maid did not change the pillowcases, while at the Crowne Plaza, the maid washes the glasses and used a towel which had been left on the floor to dry them, before using it to also wipe down the countertop, the toilet and the bathtub. At no point did she use any soap.
