Guest claims hotel staff used his toothbrush to clean: ‘Housekeeping horror’
A Las Vegas hotel guest claimed he had a brush with horror when housekeeping used his toothbrush to clean his room.
Posting to TikTok, Lavell Jackson, who is an investor and realtor, alleged that Mandalay Bay Las Vegas offered him a mere $50 credit and a new toothbrush after he claimed they used the toothbrush he left on the counter to scrub, Indy100 reported.
The video has garnered more than 133,000 views since being posted a week ago.
“I will no longer be leaving my toothbrush out. I didn’t think it was real but evidently it is … They used my toothbrush to clean, and they’re being nasty to me about it,” Jackson, who was at the hotel for a convention, said in the footage.
“I can’t make this stuff up. I’m at a loss for words. Some companies just have to do better,” he added.
The Post reached out to the hotel, which is owned by MGM Resorts International, for comment.
The Post also attempted to reach Jackson.
Several commenters below Jackson’s video asked him how he knew his toothbrush was used to clean hotel surfaces.
“Not hard for me to see, plus I used it the day before … as soon as it hit my tooth I knew something was wrong. We all know what happens when you clean with a toothbrush,” Jackson explained in the comments section.
People commented below his video to share his disgust and revealed that they also never leave their toothbrushes out.
“I wrap my toothbrush in a paper towel and put it in a ziploc bag when traveling. I absolutely never put everything out on the counter,” one person said.
“Report them to health department at a minimum,” another suggested.
“THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS!! Another reason to turn down cleaning services during your stay,” a third added.
