A hotel guest is planning to sue a hotel chain after he says he woke up in the night to find a member of staff sucking his toes.
Peter Brennan, from Texas, was staying overnight at the Hilton Downtown Nashville hotel on March 30 for a work conference.
However his night’s sleep was allegedly interrupted at around 5am when hotel employee David Neal, 52, let himself into Mr Brennan’s room.
According to Nashville Metropolitan Police he reportedly made a key card and crept into the guest’s room at around 5 am, NY Post reports.
Mr Brennan said: ‘I instantly jumped up and was screaming. Went into sort of fact-finding mode. Who are you? Why are you in my room? What are you doing here?‘I could see he was wearing a uniform, he had his name tag on. He was talking to me but not giving me any substantive answers.’
Mr Brennan recognised the 52-year-old as one of the hotel employees who came into his room the day before to fix his television.
Neal claimed he entered the room because he could smell smoke, but no other guests or hotel staff had reported smelling smoke that night.
He was arrested at his home in nearby Lebanon, Tennessee and was charged with aggravated burglary and assault.
The hotel manager is currently jailed on a $27,000 bond.
Mr Brennan says he still doesn’t ‘really feel safe in my own home’ following the incident, and is suing both Neal and Hilton Hotels.
A statement from hotel management said: ‘The safety and security of our guests and team members is our highest priority.
‘We are working closely with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, and, as part of company policy, we do not comment on ongoing investigations.’
