Per The Cheat Sheet:
- Hotel Glassware:Â You’ll want to avoid the hotel glassware, whether it be in the room or the bathroom. Opt for plastic cups if the hotel offers, as there’s no guarantee the maid cleaned the glassware and if so it could have even been with the same rag used to clean the toilet!
