Rooms at the inns

Dunno whether you were contemplating a trip to Pigeon Forge, Tenn., or Daytona Beach, Fla., but if so you may wish to consult Trip Advisor’s list of the Ten Dirtiest Hotels in the US beforehand.

If you’re headed out to Europe, Asia or India (don’t know whether Trip Advisor doesn’t know or doesn’t care that India is part of Asia), there are the ten dirtiest in each of those locations, too. (Actually, two of the Asian names-of-shame are in India, so perhaps there’s something wrong with TA’s algorithm & they can’t afford human editors.)

What surprises me about the Asian list is that two of the top three are in Singapore. Evidently that country’s government focus on societal niceties like shaggy hair & spitting on the sidewalks doesn’t apply to cleanliness in tourist accommodation.
