A HOTEL guest has revealed the shocking item he found in the wardrobe of his hotel.
When holidaymakers check in to their hotels they expect to find them clean and tidy, and empty of things from the guest before them.
One man hit the jackpot when he opened the wardrobe door of his hotel room.
In a post on Quora, the man asked other travellers if they'd ever found something unexpected in their hotel rooms before divulging his own unusual find.
He wrote: "I live in Las Vegas and I will take random staycations in hotels during the year.
"As I was putting my stuff away in the closet, a bag fell to the floor where the extra pillows are kept.

"Inside the bag was an unmarked bank deposit bag with almost $45,000 [£36,325] of cash."
The man explained that he called security who filed a report and called the police.
He added: "I was told that the hotel needs to hold it for 30 days and see if the owner claims it, afterwards it can be claimed by me."
Even though hotel staff and police made efforts to contact previous holidaymakers, who'd stayed in the same room, no one came forward.
