If it came out in the course of normal cleanng - no.
If it required special cleaning - possibly.0 -
Hotels and most businesses would not be able to insure for risks this small. It would put the premiums up signficantly, which of course would be reflected in their rates.
Hotels do warn about damages, perhaps it was on the registration card, or in the terms of booking, but it is normally there. Even if not, then they could seek recovery for damages.
Most common occurrences are rooms off due to smoking in non smoking bedrooms (smell is awful in bedrooms, room then has to be left out of order to air) or even deliberate damage.
It might seem a little harsh, but then dying one's hair in a hotel room, is not the norm either.
chocolate is a lot easier to clean up, although personally I would be mortified if I left such a stain on someone else's property.
Interesting info! I shall be aware and check when I use hotels in future.0
