Dirty Dishes

I have been reading some reviews of where i plan to stay at in the future. Many people have complained aobut dirty dishes in there reviews. Well first of all, I wash the dish before I sued it anyway when I stayed at a hotel so that was not a big deal.

Many people were saying the maids did not clean there dishes or the maids put dirty dishes in the cabinets. At all the hotels I have stayed at the maids did not wash dishes.

Some people would give the hotel a bad rating because of dirty dishes and it it anit there responibilty to wash the dishes.

The reason that I posted this is because some people are complaining about things that was there own responibilites.

Dirty Dishes

Dear friend - in most condos and units with kitchens at Myrtle Beach, it is the renter%26#39;s responsibility to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The housekeepers are to run the dishwasher as they clean the room and then put the clean dishes in the cabinet. I assume you have not stayed in such establishments. If a housekeeper will put dirtry dishes in a cabinet, that%26#39;s probably a good sign that she will cut corners somewhere else. Thankfully, the last couple of places I%26#39;ve stayed had excellent housekeeping, but I know it%26#39;s not standard. Best wishes to you.

We%26#39;ve always washed the dishes and placed them in cabinets. Never heard of doing it any other way. Bottom line......Always leave the place just as you found it.

Condos and Resorts are different. We stayed at Breakers Resort and the dishes were to be cleaned by the person staying in the resort. The maids only clean common areas around the kitchen (stove, counter, refrigerator, etc.)

People are just waiting for something to complain about. Get over it. If you don%26#39;t want to wash dishes, use plastic ware or eat out.

Instructions at Sea Island are to load the dishwasher and the housekeeper will turn it on. They want to run it to make sure the dishes ARE clean when put up. Most places I%26#39;ve stayed have that policy. Of course, not all places have the same policies. I think the bottom line is to follow the policy...and I do believe the management has a responsibility to make sure units are clean- including dishes. That%26#39;s a reasonable expectation when paying for a rental. Best wishes.

In the past when we have stayed at a condo vs. a hotel room, we have always done our own dishes, emptied our own trash, etc. just as if we were in our own kitchen at home. I guess I always figured that those poor ladies in housekeeping have enough to do, what with people tracking sand in all over the place, puking all over when they%26#39;ve had too much to drink, etc. I never considered it from the angle that the housekeeping staff is supposed to run and unload the dishwasher to make sure the dishes are clean when they go back into the cupboards. Still, as a wife and mom, it would be almost impossible for me to not just do it myself, I%26#39;m so used to it!

Most hotels make it clear that maids do not wash dishes. I think that%26#39;s more than fair.

But, I would worry about a housekeeping staff that routinely sticks dirty dishes back into the cupboard.

Let me clarify my post - I am refering to check out - not daily room maintenance. It is the guests responsibility to do their own dishes during the stay - but upon check out it is the property%26#39;s responsibility to make sure the dishes in the cupboard are clean. Hence - the Sea Island ( and other locations where we%26#39;ve stayed) instruct you to put dishes in the dishwasher upon check out so they can run it and make sure they are clean. This policy works. Do you trust the people who stayed before you? I surely don%26#39;t! Best wishes.
