Trust issues: Why cheap lodgings snip bathroom slippers

Trusting people can be hard but it may appear it is even harder for the hotel industry in Kenya to trust its clientele. I am not talking about the well-established five star hotels. In any case, few of us are privileged to even set foot there if our employers do not organise an end year party there which leaves us ogling at the reception and restaurant areas and not going anywhere close to the sleeping quarters.

I am talking about our tuhotels aka lodgings which more often than not we only visit for the purposes of bedminton especially at those random times when the lady or beau you had been wooing finally says yes but your house is a no go zone. Unlike the rated hotels, these dingy ones will even allow you to pay in hours as opposed to the routine day cycle as is the schedule for proper boarding establishments.
