[quote=Anonymous]*I swear I am otherwise a normal person, but I have a PHOBIA of hotel beds.  As a child, I saw a horrifying investigation on TV in which a team went through hotel rooms (even in 5 star hotels) with a UV black light, and then identified the specific bodily fluids.

Nevertheless, I travel internationally dozens of times a year, so I have to find a way to sleep in hotel rooms.

This is what I look for:

1.  Must be 4 or 5 stars and have top reviews on booking.com, which I have found more reliable than reviews on TribAdvisory.

2.  No carpeting!  Hardwood floors only.

3.  I will actively seek a room with new looking furniture and a sofa long enough for me to stretch out on (not a 2-person sofa).  If I can find this, I will bring my own plastic sheet, top sheet, and blanket, and sleep on that.

4.  If no couch, I'm not happy, but will spread out my own plastic sheet, cover sheet, and blanket on top of the made bed and try to sleep that way.

5.  There are a few places where I feel really comfortable and can sleep well.  For example, there is one hotel in Dubai where I've stayed for several trips of about a month each.  It's four stars only, but it was the top rated hoel on booking.com, and the five star hotel I originally booked into when I first went to Dubai was disgusting.  So I go back to this hotel whenever I have to be in Dubai.  I have one hotel I use in London as well, and one in Vienna.

6.  I have been known to go to a local mall and buy a thick yoga mat I can use to just sleep on the floor in a hotel room where the bed and sofa are gross.
