Hotel insiders share some of the biggest secrets of the industry by Erika Owen on Jun 27, 2016, 9:59 AM  When you stay in a hotel room, there are a few things you expect: the sheets may not be as clean as you'd like (proof), the bed won't feel just like it does at home (maybe it's better, hopefully it's not worse), and you can't depend on being placed next to quiet neighbors.
But a number of hotel insiders recently took to the forum website Quora to share a slew of other tidbits not shared with the hotel-hopping public.

Most hotels pay housekeepers per room they clean. A number of discussion participants mentioned that many of the hotel housekeepers they've worked with—or even the positions they've held—paid based on the number of rooms they were able to clean. What this means: the dirtier the room, the more time it takes to clean it and the less money they bring in. Just another reason to keep things relatively tidy.
2. The best time for hotel stays is on a Sunday early in the month. One Quora user mention that Sundays early on in the month are the best days to stay at a hotel. The reason? Vacationers are on their way out and business travelers have yet to arrive, meaning there are more rooms to choose from.
3. Hotels and the local police have great relationships, most of the time.  When you think about how many people come through hotels and how many of those people are celebrating something or on vacation, it's not a stretch to imagine how often the authorities may have to pay a visit to a place like this. Most of the time, hotel management has a great relationship with local police and medical units for this reason.
