#5855 – Lean on a Clean Hotel Room?
Dearest Rabbi.
I will be traveling to a hotel for Pesach arriving on Erev Pesach early in the morning. Since I don’t know if there is some chometz cakes or bars left in the room, and I also may arrive late as planes are delayed now often. In case of need can I sell the chometz using an AI program that buys chometz on line?
The correct thing is that at the time one registers in the room, he should ask to have removed and emptied the fridge or any other container from any offered foods. One should ask an attendant to take up the baggage and empty the fridge, offering the necessary tip.
