They've seen it all. Not meaning to be sexist but they're likely women housekeepers, I'm sure it's happened to them once in their life! They see all kinds of awful things in hotels. This isn't a big deal. Try not to worry :)

Leave a little extra for the maid. Call front desk and ask them to bring you supplies (assuming you don't have anything handy).
I've been there. It feels embarrassing in the moment, but it's life. I'm sure worse things have happened in that hotel room, haha!

I feel so much better. I was freaking out and wondering if to try washing it out

There's a standard procedure for this people! If you did something awful to the sheets involving sex, blood, sh*t, vomit etc, you pull the sheets off the bed and ball them up on the floor. Then they just stuff them in the cart and bleach the hell out of them later. You can leave extra for the maid but don't have to assuming they don't have to actually see/smell/deal with it.

If you actually messed up the bedspread then I have no idea. Don't do that.

Happens to me a few times a year. Agree with TC, they've seen worse. I would not take sheets off but move the comforter so the maid sees it tomorrow and they will replace the sheets

I would add cold water to it, make it easier for them to remove when the stain is wet (provided it hasn’t dried all the way)

My friend did this to my guest bed last week. At least you don’t have to see the maid again? PS guess who’s getting new sheets for Christmas 😂

Thanks all. Do I take the sheets off?

People do way worse on purpose. They will wash them. No biggie

Rest Easy OP :-)

Agree they’ve seen way worse. Must happen pretty frequently. No need to leave a note or tip but it’s appreciated if you do

Run cold water over the stain and once the stained section is drenched add soap and scrub. If the sheets are thin it should come out easily.

Call housekeeping and leave an extra big tip

Took EY1’s advise. Sheet was replaced when I got back. On checkout I didn’t have any reasonable cash on me so I left a note and some items like a brand new charger, a new teddy bear I had just got from a conference and a can of soda

Should I decline to pursue the opportunity just so I have a longer track record at my current firm? This will be my 4th if I move.
