GERMANTOWN, Wis. (WISN) – Guests remaining at a Wisconsin hotel discovered they had some unwanted customers joining them in the swimming pool, jacuzzi and corridors – snakes.
While preparing to swim in her hotel’s swimming pool last Saturday, Michelle Griese says she found snakes in the swimming pool and jacuzzi.
“Sure enough, I go in, and there’s a snake in the hot tub,” she said.
Griese shared pictures and a video of the burglars at the Country Inn and Suites by Radisson in Germantown, where she and her 4-year-old kid were booked on the very first flooring.
After leaving the swimming pool, Griese says she saw another snake crawling down the hall.
“I literally watched the snake slither under this person’s door. So, I knocked on the gentleman’s door, and he came out. I was like, ‘Well, there’s a snake in your room.’ He was like, ‘Yeah, I see that.’ So, he grabbed a plunger to try to catch the snake,” she said.
Griese wasn’t the only one finding snakes. Another hotel visitor, Michael Herhold, says his friend likewise saw a snake in the jacuzzi.
“He was getting out of the hot tub and saw a snake trying to get out of it. He was scared to touch it, so he grabbed his shirt, grabbed the snake and rescued it out of the hot tub,” Herhold said.
After just getting half of a refund, Griese says she won’t reserve another remain at the hotel.
“I think the thing that threw me off the most was watching the snake slither under the person’s door. And knowing that I was on the first floor, I was like, ‘What would I have done if a snake slithered into my room?’” she said.
The Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department sent an inspector to the hotel on Tuesday, according to a report.
The report said while the inspector was at the hotel checking the swimming pool and the jacuzzi, they found a snakeskin and informed the supervisor to contract an expert bug control business. A hotel basic supervisor apparently validated to the inspector that they were handling snakes over the weekend.
The report said one team member assumed hotel visitors were leaving the outside fire escape open and believed a pregnant snake might have wriggled within.
