When staying in a hotel, maybe it’s best to sometimes keep the light off, or perhaps bring your own bed sheets. TripAdvisor.com has once again compiled a list of the dirtiest hotels in the world.
I was surprised to see that Hotel Carter in New York is on the list. I once stayed there for a night and remember arriving at around 3:30 AM and going to sleep without turning the light on. Unless I was too tired to see cockroaches in the room, I found the hotel very convenient for the price I paid. Here are the top 10 dirtiest hotels as per tripadvisor.com.
1.Hotel Carter, New York City, U.S.
2.Hotel Merryl, Paris, France
3.Cromwell Crown, London, England
4.Ludwig Hotel, Munich, Germany
