So others don't make the same mistake, I'm sharing my utterly outrageous experience at this hotel. Putting everything else aside, after a long day of driving, the moment my head hit the pillow – holy cow! The pillow was absolutely *stinky*!
It was SO! STINKY!
The pillowcase looked pristine white, no issues there, but it clearly hadn't been disinfected or properly washed with laundry detergent. The pillow insert was yellowed and reeked to high heaven, exactly like the foul, dirty smell of old leather seats on a run-down bus!
I immediately called the front desk to get it replaced. A few minutes later, a cleaning lady knocked on the door. Her tone was very unpleasant, and she unhappily asked me, "Stinky?" I handed her the pillow and told her to smell it herself! She turned her head away and grumbled, "All the pillows in this hotel are like this. Have you ever seen a hotel replace its pillow inserts? We never replace our pillow inserts. If you want to change pillows, fine, but the new ones will smell the same..." The lady said indifferently as she walked off to get new ones.
Minutes later, she came back with two pillows, pretending they were new ones when they were clearly the same ones I had just given her to replace...
Seriously, it's unbelievable! Other hotels I've stayed at, whether they replace pillow inserts or not, their pillow inserts definitely don't reek like yours do!!!
