One major concern a lot of people have about AirBnB’s these days is the prevalence of hidden cameras and other spy devices that have been found in them.

But what if there’s some weird stuff in hotel rooms too?

Check out this mysterious video from TikTok user @mattcolorado3:

“So we’re at a Marriott, and then I’m laying on this couch,” he says, making his way into the room.

“What is it? What is it?”
