If any job exposes you to the seedy and the sordid, it's working in a hotel.
There's an anonymity and removal from everyday life which makes hotels a space where the normal rules seemingly don't apply.
And whether it's older gentlemen staying over with their 'nieces', or any manner of illicit and extramarital encounters, it's fair to say if anyone has seen it all, it's hotel employees.
One former manager has now revealed some of the sordid things they saw during their time working in the industry.

They spoke to Vice, wearing a mask on to conceal their identity, and shared details of hedonistic parties that saw rooms getting trashed and faeces being flung.
Sounds less like a fun party and more like a zoo.
The manager would agree with that assessment, claiming the behaviour he saw 'wasn't human'.
The insights came during an interview with Vice about the debaucherous behaviour they witnessed while working as a Front of House manager.
Coming right out of the gate with some shocking revelations, the worker said: "The hotel industry is a wild experience that helps you understand how disconnected the wildly wealthy are.

"I've seen the darker side of humanity – suicides, murders, spousal abuse, human trafficking – that stays with you for a long time."
He even recalled that one weekend, a group of wealthy customers – around 60 people – rented out the whole hotel.
Yep, a whole hotel, which set them back £250,000 for two days.
And what debauched activity is best done among large groups of people in a private space? A wild orgy would certainly top the list.
Still, the hotel manager was far from celebrating when he saw the guests had left 'a nightmare room', which included blood, faeces and semen.

And on a separate occasion, the staff noticed that something was wrong with the shower in one of the rooms.
When the manager headed up to investigate, he made a jaw dropping discovery - the shower head had been sawed off and a four-foot-long anal probe hose had been attached.
In addition to their ransacking of the rooms, the wealthy aren't too keen on treating hotel staff decently and often, the worker and his colleagues would only be tipped around $20 each.
The manager said: "The higher up that price value, the more common it is to be treated like you're less than human.

"The people who are coming to visit you – famous pop stars, Russian oligarchs – they have a private plane that they get on, a private vehicle with all tinted blocked out windows, sometimes they have security squads [and] they'll snap their fingers at them.
"Very large sense of entitlement where if they approach the desk they are the only thing that exists to you at that moment and that's what they came to expect from that level of entering a luxury hotel."
