Given the strange behaviors that occur behind the locked doors of the hotels and motels scattered across this fair land, it's not surprising what a black light may reveal. There is some peace of mind that comes with "out of sight, out of mind". What you don't know, can't hurt you. If, however, the stains are visible to the naked eye, it doesn't take a wandering mind to wonder what lurks beyond our field of vision.
For a price of just under three hundred clams, one would expect top notch service would be included. Certainly, clean sheets on the bed shouldn't be too far out of the purview of what one might find. Granted this hotel, where I'm staying in Regina, has a "Reduce/Reuse" program in effect, which basically means the maid service won't exchange your sheets until your departure. This concept doesn't seem too unreasonable to me, however, considering my surprising discovery, this morning, I'm questioning whether the maid service is sticking to this premise faithfully.

I slept, surprisingly comfortable, last night, messing the bed spread only minutely. I'm not comfortable with maids coming into my room to tidy up in my absence, so I quickly made up the bed, myself, and in the process, looked down to find a small crimson spot on the snow white sheet. I slept on the other side of the bed and don't have any open wounds on my lower extremities, so there's no way this spot originated with me. It had to have existed before my arrival yesterday afternoon.
As I stated, the bill that I'm going to be stuck with is just under $300, which for a two-night stay, seems a little hefty, but the value aside, for such a price, I would come to expect that the sheets be clean. I don't give a shit if the previous occupant never laid their head down on this bed, opting for the one closer to the A/C unit. I want... Nay! I demand clean sheets, no matter what. It's not like this spot could elude one's vision. It's dark shade is such a vast contrast in comparison to the blizzard snow white sheet. Even a half blind pirate, with a patch over one eye, could see this button-sized dollop forever present on the sheet.
I took a photo and posted it to my Twitter feed. It took a few hours, but the kind folks at @DaysInnCanada, responded with a Toll-Free number for me to call in and give a more detailed account of my discovery. I wasn't going to bother, but if it helps alleviate some of the heady cost, perhaps I may do as requested.
If you're in the Regina-area, feel free to stay wherever you'd like, including the Days Inn on Eastgate Drive. It's a very nice and impressive venue, but you may want to pull the bed spread back and inspect them sheets. Who knows what kind of foreign shit you may discover.
