Would You Stay In A Hotel Now?

Pearlee — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 23:18:00 GMT

I may be doing something soon which would require me to stay in a hotel elsewhere in my state. It would be a Marriott (the ones I've stayed in before have been great). I'm a little hesitant about doing so though during this pandemic. As I always do when I stay at a hotel, I would wipe down all surfaces with Lysol wipes, including the phone and would only use the remote control by putting it in a plastic bag without ever touching it, after also wiping it down without touching it. Even so I'm leery about staying in a hotel nowadays.

I would if I absolutely had to. Hotels are still allowed to be open in Michigan, but gyms, pools, spas, etc. within the hotel have to close. Food has to be takeout or room service only. Staff has to do everything they can to minimize contact between themselves and guests.

@Pearlee : I wouldn't hesitate to stay in a hotel and was supposed to have a two day stay at a Phoenix Marriott on April 8th. Marriott cancelled my reservation yesterrday.

@Pearlee I only stay at Marriott hotels but NO WAY would I go to any place away from home.

No matter how thoroughly you may think you are cleaning, you don't know WHO or WHAT has been in that room.

I would stay home and be safe. But it's up to you.

I mean, why take the chance?

All of our hotels are closed due to the virus. If you have any choice in the matter, I wouldn't go.

Me personally? No. Easy for me to say - any trips I make now are purely for personal pleasure.

But from a safety point of view - I wouldn't want to go even for a "serious" trip. Sure you can wipe down all the hard surfaces. You want to sleep on a pillow that's been used in the last month? Under a blanket that's been touched recently? I'm happy right where I am!

What does the CDC or Dr. Fauci advise? I would not. In the best of times hotels are full of germs, everywhere. Even in 5 star hotel, I would not do now.

@Pearlee

I wouldn’t even go into a hotel lobby right now.

If there is no way to avoid it, just wash your hands every time you touch something, keep hands off face (this is how experts say most people get the virus), and stay far away from people.

Absolutley not. EVen 5 star holels are known for having germs galore in their rooms.

No Way.

@Pearlee

Reading other replies, it sounds likely the hotel may not even be open for business.

I'm worried about leaving my house, let alone traveling or staying anywhere else.

@Pearlee On the cruise ships that had the virus patients, the rooms the sick people were in continued to show the virus still present in those rooms18 days after they left.

Oh, and thank you, @Pearlee.
