A former hotel manager, known online as Melly, has recently shared critical advice for travelers regarding the safety and hygiene of certain in-room amenities. In a widely viewed video, Melly, leveraging her extensive experience in the hospitality sector, cautioned guests against using Keurig coffee makers and unsecured refillable shampoo and conditioner bottles found in hotel bathrooms. Melly highlighted that hotel Keurig machines often harbor more than just coffee. "As a former hotel manager and an avid coffee drinker, I will not use the Keurigs in a hotel room," she stated. She elaborated that she has observed "other things other than water being brewed" and stressed that the internal tubing of these machines is rarely, if ever, thoroughly cleaned by housekeeping staff. This raises significant hygiene concerns for guests. Furthermore, Melly addressed the growing trend of refillable shampoo and conditioner dispensers. She warned against using bottles that are not securely locked, explaining, "I've seen bodily fluids and smelled Nair in unsecured bottles." She emphasized that these easily opened containers can be tampered with by previous guests, posing potential health hazards. Melly advised travelers to only use dispensers that are securely locked, requiring a key for refilling, as this design ensures the integrity of the products within. Her insights underscore the importance of vigilance for guests when utilizing hotel provisions.
