A MUM has sparked outrage online after revealing that she steals hotel dressing gowns.
Free things are one of the main perks of staying in a hotel, but there’s a fine line between what’s up for grabs and what isn’t.
While this woman initially thought that the dressing gowns were up for grabs, she checked with other parents on Mumsnet , who were less sure.
She wrote: “Hotel bath robes , I’ve taken two.
“I feel guilty but I didn’t take anything else. Has anyone else done this?”;;
No one was impressed by her admission and all said the gowns weren’t up for grabs.
One wrote: “Oh that’s bad. I’ll take most things from a hotel and even I know the robes are off limits.”;;
A second said: “No, because that is stealing.”;;
A third added: “They’re not a mini bottle of shampoo. Would you take pillows too? The duvet?”;;
While the people were right that hotel dressing gowns aren’t necessarily available for people to take, a hotel worker admitted people could easily get away with it.
According to Niamh, a housekeeper for a luxury hotel in Belfast , staff don’t always notice when things go missing.
She told Sun Online Travel: “There were always signs in the hotel room that if dressing gowns were removed from the room, the guest would be charged £40.
“But when a guest simply uses a robe and it has to be laundered, we don’t make a note of which robes are missing and which ones were used.
“We have so much else to do during our shift that we don’t have the time to make a note on these things.”;;
However, certain hotels still expect the gowns to go missing.
According to the Daily Mail , the Goring Hotel factors the cost of their monogrammed slippers and bathrobes into the £8,500 bill for a stay in the Royal Suite.
Meanwhile these are the unbelievable things that people have stolen from hotels.
