Another Dirty Room is a reality television show where the hosts explore and critique the cleanliness and conditions of budget hotels. In season 1 episode 6, titled 'Shock Motel: Return to the Royal Inn Maryland', hosts Dan, Rick, and Tyler return to a hotel they previously investigated to see if any improvements have been made.

The Royal Inn Maryland, located in Baltimore, was one of the dirtiest hotels they had ever encountered on their show. The hosts were greeted with unpleasant smells, stained carpets, moldy walls, and unsanitary bathroom conditions. In episode 6, the hosts revisit the hotel to see if it has changed since their initial visit.

Upon their arrival, the hosts were not shocked to see that the Royal Inn Maryland had not made any significant changes. Rick commented, "It's like we never left!" The lobby area still had a strong odor, the floors were sticky, and there was a layer of dirt on the check-in counter. The hosts then made their way to their assigned room, which was in even worse condition than the previous one.

Rick pointed out that the hotel had attempted to make some cosmetic improvements, such as painting the walls and adding new bedding. However, these improvements did not mask the underlying issues with the hotel's cleanliness. Dan noted that there were still stains on the walls and ceilings, which were indicative of water damage.

The bathroom was the most shocking aspect of the room. There was mold in the corners of the shower, hair on the floor, and an unpleasant smell emanating from the toilet. Tyler pointed out that the bathroom had not been properly cleaned in quite some time.

As the hosts continued their investigation, they found evidence of pests in the room. There were droppings on the bed and evidence of bed bugs. This discovery was particularly alarming, as bed bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of and can cause extensive damage to a property's reputation.

The hosts also discovered several safety hazards in the room, such as exposed wiring and a broken smoke detector. Dan expressed his concern for the safety of the hotel's guests, noting that the hotel was putting their lives at risk by not addressing these issues.

Throughout the episode, the hosts interacted with hotel staff, who made excuses and downplayed the issues with the hotel's cleanliness and safety. The hosts attempted to educate the staff on the importance of maintaining a clean and safe hotel, but their efforts were met with resistance.

In conclusion, season 1 episode 6 of Another Dirty Room titled 'Shock Motel: Return to the Royal Inn Maryland' highlights the ongoing issues with budget hotel cleanliness and safety. The hosts revisit a previously investigated hotel to see if any improvements have been made, only to find that the conditions had not changed, and the hotel was still a health and safety hazard.
