Horrid Hotels That Have An Uncanny Ability To Have You Hankering After Home!

Published on 08/22/2019

The whether you are planning a holiday or a business trip, either way, you are hoping to find what you could reasonably expect to be relaxing, comfortable, hassle-free accommodation and having all the worries of the world just melt away. That is exactly what you would expect these establishments to be setting out to do… but will all hotels succeed in treating you like the star you deserve to be?

Here are some of the most daunting hotels that have, by all means, failed to appreciate their guests. If you are planning a relaxing getaway, you should probably avoid these establishments at all costs!

Who Needs Privacy Anyway

While some may find the charming appeal of this bathroom design quite elegant, most people would simply cringe at the thought of spending a romantic weekend away in this hotel room with their beloved partner. Regardless of how much love a couple has for one another, there is absolutely no reason to compromise toilet privacy ever!

Who Needs Privacy Anyway

Who Needs Privacy Anyway

Or worse yet just imagine having to share this hotel room with a friend or a business partner! Neither option sounds good to us; not good for business or for romance!

Ghostly Emergency

Unless you have the ability to walk through walls, it might be an idea to memorize the exact position of the door to this room. If an alarm was to go off in the dead of the night, making a terrified dive for the space below one of the bright EXIT signs, and with probably only one eye half-open, will end badly.

Just Like In Harry Potter

Ghostly Emergency

In fact, before switching lights off to turn in for the night, you might want to be sure that the door in the picture does actually lead to an escape route. At least the designers of this wondrous room had the foresight to place the door-handles at a height that one could reach while racing across the room on all fours!

When is A Pool Not A Pool?

Clearly, not a lot of maintenance happens at this establishment. Considering the pavement needs a good scraping and a coat of paint but how about the algae in the pool! Oh, it’s been filled in? That might have warranted a mention in the motel brochure! So, the idea of passing the day, or even just a few hours, with inexpensive lounging about the pool, or even children entertaining themselves in it, was now probably going to become an expensive visit to the mall.

A Pool But Not Really

When is A Pool Not A Pool?

Perhaps though, as the steps and handrails are still in place, they intend to give the pool a face-lift and use all that soil for landscaping. Until such time, though, if you like to end a hot, sweaty day with a cooling swim, you’ll be needing to look elsewhere.

Not Enough Shaking Will Season Your Meal

Now this one really does need explaining. You would have thought that salt and pepper sachets would be more expensive to provide than a shaker full of salt, but maybe they are banking on saving a lot of money with those who just couldn’t be bothered to screw off the top of the salt cellar to get at the salt.

Unable To Shake This One Off

Not Enough Shaking Will Season Your Meal

It could be that this hotel charges by the tea bag or coffee sachet and now needs a way of measuring salt and pepper usage to charge for that as well!

Not The Best View

Don’t we all, after arriving at our destination in the early hours, wake up in the morning at an exotic location and want to throw back the curtains to take in the view of the sea just beyond swaying palm trees. Not so fast dude, the only view of the palm trees in this hotel requires a walk through the shower to get to the balcony. And then, on the other side of the swaying fronds is… another building.

Enjoy The View After A Shower

Not The Best View

The reason for the architect designing the room layout this way is puzzling, but perhaps rather than lying in bed with a cup of coffee to savor the view, he reckoned it would be better to see while taking a shower. Of course, if you are sharing accommodation, this introduces a whole lot of logistical complications!

A Bit Off

Sometimes the sheer lack of common sense is astounding – at what point in this installation was it not evident to the artisans that something was amiss? Or perhaps the architect designed it this way or the contractor drilled the hole 10 centimeters from the edge instead of 10 millimeters?

A Sink Like No Other

A Bit Off

Surely an easy solution would have been to simply source a tap with a longer spout. Ah well, until that happens at least the constant wiping of water from the counter-top will keep it consistently clean.

A Bachelor Pad Perhaps?

But not a hotel room! At what point in the design or construction of this bathroom was it seen as appropriate to have a glass door? Even with a single occupant, one would need to remember, if inviting a friend around, to mention that relieving themselves before arriving would be a good idea. Certainly, diuretic drinks would not be wise.

The Honeymoon Ensuite

A Bachelor Pad Perhaps?

But what if it was your company that booked this room for you and a colleague? Every time you saw that person back at the office, sitting at his workstation, this image might return; not right at any level!

No Clean Sheets

It is a presumption we all make that the cleaning staff have done a thorough job of the hotel room we are about to inhabit, for however short a period. But, pressed for time, do they find the occasional shortcut? After all, did the last guest even use his bed – it looks so straight.

Ask For A Refund

No Clean Sheets

After a long and tiring day, a hot shower, in warm pajamas and about three seconds from collapsing into bed, would finding this message between your sheets be enough to get you out of there and into another hotel?

Getting Less Than You Pay For

This is potentially the biggest injustice known to man. We’ve suffered through some mean breakfasts at various hotels, but this one takes the cake. Paying a whole $15 for breakfast and then you get this! Generally, you get what you pay for, but clearly, this hotel feels you deserve much much less.

Even Worse Than You Expected

You Get Less Than You Pay For

This breakfast may only be fit for a school cafeteria. Perhaps prison inmates are served similar meals. Regardless this should really not be allowed as a hotel breakfast!

Forbidden Room

This is simply too strange. For what reason would this San Francisco hotel decide this room should be condemned? While the method they used for blocking this room off to the public may be strange what’s more curious is what may have happened here…

Pretty Sure That Room Is Cursed

Forbidden Room

However, if you look a little closer, you will notice that there is actually a hinge on the railing that would allow entry to this mystery room. Regardless you should probably not let your curiosity get the best of you in this type of situation. We all know how things end in horror movies!

Hot Showers Aren’t Allowed

There’s something so magical about booking a hotel room and enjoying a long hot shower. Unfortunately, the person that booked this room is only allowed a cold shower.

Hot Showers Are Out Of The Question

Hot Showers Aren’t Allowed

This can only be explained as an effective way to keep the water and heat bills down. Although surely, these kinds of cruel hacks do not belong in hotels! We have to give whichever mean-spirited evil genius installed this restriction a commendation for selfishness. Time to bring out the hammer!

Translation Issues

One can only hope this poorly translated sign is the only case of translation errors here. While the thought is there, no guests want to be ”slipping carefully.” Note to hotel staff: Google translate is just not an option!

Lost In Translation

Translation Issues

Or maybe this sign is warning guests not to slip and die in the shower. While there really is no knowing what this sign is trying to say perhaps the hotel is merely trying to avoid guests embarrassing themselves with clumsy behavior. If you must fall, at least do so with grace…

Who Is Tulation?

It can be so lovely when hotel staff goes the extra mile for newly married couples checking into their hotels. However, in this case, they really could have tried just a little bit harder.

A Guest Called Tulation

Who Is Tulation?

This was an incredible waste of time for what was probably a romantic case of broken telephone. Although, perhaps the guest’s name is actually Tulation? In that case, congrats Tulation! Maybe it is a nickname or some kind of private joke?

Books That Aren’t For Reading

Books hardly have a purpose if not for us to read them. However, here’s a hotel that feels completely otherwise. Books are for display purposes only and you should not try and read them! Even though these books are not supposed to be read, this sign kills their aesthetic purpose with its enormous presence and meanness.

This Is Not A Public Library

Books That Aren’t For Reading

Even though this sign here does seem quite rude, perhaps hotel management got tired of people taking books home with them.

The Hidden Rooms

Imagine trying to find these room numbers after you’ve had a few drinks, even though you would likely have difficulty even if you were fully sober! Hotel management should really do something about this!

Help Me Find My Room

The Hidden Rooms

Perhaps these room numbers are so well hidden even the staff have been baffled trying to find them… This is some spooky stuff. You might think that you were lost in a haunted hotel after seeing these ghostly signs. At least you might discover sections of the hotel that you previously did not know existed!

The Works Of False Advertising

Now, this just is not right! This person was clearly lured in by the blissful appeal of the charming pool, only to book a room and discover what genuine disappointment feels like! Regardless, excellent photography skills!

False Advertising Is Real

The Works Of False Advertising

At least we know how brutal fake advertising can really be. Maybe it is best to double-check before getting lured in by any advertisers’ charm. Remember that Google Reviews exists, and that there are dozens or hundreds of people that have left telling reviews for your benefit.

No Time For Details

Usually, when you check into a beautiful hotel, you will notice just how much attention staff put into all the small details. However, at this hotel, the staff are all far too busy to bother with details. No one would notice anyway, right?

Overlooking The Minor Details

No Time For Details

Whoever was in charge of selecting the artwork for this room clearly had no time to concern themselves over finding a personalized message for this art piece. “Your sample text here” has a bit of a catchy ring to it.

The Battle Of Choosing Art

Who knew choosing art could be such a challenging task? Or worse yet, who in their right mind would actually consider that this piece of abstract art belongs right above a toilet? The conceptual design may be quite charming, but there really is no denying this really is the wrong place for it!

Life Imitates Art

The Battle Of Choosing Art

We can only hope hotel staff soon find a better placement for this piece. Who knows, perhaps it encourages a festively drunken guest to create something similar using unspeakable materials.

Unclear Messages

While the placement of an ashtray usually signals that smoking is allowed in the area, a ‘no smoking’ sign obviously indicates the exact opposite. Here, we can see the staff are unsure whether guests may or may not smoke in this specific room.

Mixed Smoking Signals

Unclear Messages

Maybe this is a strangely subtle way of trying to convince guests to kick the bad habit finally. However, no smoker would know what to do when confronted with this confusing ashtray…

Nothing To See Here

It goes without saying that behind every curtain, there is a window. Or there is at least something. Hence the purpose of the curtain. However, in certain situations, such as this one, behind the curtain, there is nothing more than a boring wall.

All For Show

Nothing To See Here

Perhaps this is some kind of conceptual art piece? That society has become so visionless, and that the society that we live in isn’t worth seeing? Alright, that is a bit of a stretch. Get some windows in that room, hotel managers!

Extra – Just in Case

Sometimes it is a great idea to go a bit overboard with specific items to make sure there is extra, just in case. However, there is absolutely no logical reason for this many faucets all installed around one sink.

One More For Good Measure

Extra – Just in Case

There are too many things about this photo that are all just too curious, we are not even sure where to start. Why is one of the faucets gold? Why are there shower heads here? What kind of hotel is this? Maybe it’s best not to ask questions…

A Closer Look

You may have to read the sign over a few times before you notice the hilarious error here. Hopefully, it is an error and incontinence is not the reason the pool is closed!

Read This Again

A Closer Look

No one likes a know-it-all, but using the right words is crucial when making notice signs. Wouldn’t want guests to get the wrong impression… We really hope that whoever’s incontinence was to blame for the emergency closure of the pool area received the medical attention that they needed.

Another Concrete Pool

Here we can see yet another concrete pool at a hotel. The hotel staff must have gotten tired of all the raucous pool parties and decided concrete would sort the noise issues out once and for all!

Solid Pool

Another Concrete Pool

Or maybe keeping the pool clean was simply too much of a hassle! All those balconies overlooking the gorgeous concrete pool… You can be sure that at least one person tried to jump into the pool from the second story!

Show Cupboards

This must be an Airbnb rental. However, this level of deception definitely belongs on our list. Rather than potentially losing bookings to lack of storage space, a brilliant plan was formulated to trick guests into believing space was aplenty!

No Storage Space, No Problem

Show Cupboards

However, anyone that experiences something like this should definitely ask for a refund. There really is no point to having display cabinets, unless you own a cabinet store. You might want to bring extra containers for storage if you plan on staying at this fine establishment.

Ruled By China

It would appear that we have been misled regarding the true nature of the world’s geography. A map of the world can be a very classy item to have in a hotel, although it should be an accurate world map. Either the person that made this map slept through geography class or is under the impression that China rules the entire world.

An Inaccurate World Map

Ruled By China

Regardless, due to the fact that this is not how the world looks, the classy effect is completely undone!

Studio Apartment Room

This room gives a whole new meaning to the term “self-catering.” Nevermind the mess, who in their right mind would actually want to book a room here?

A True Studio Unit

Studio Apartment Room

The fact that there is a toilet in the corner just seems so wrong. We may have already seen other hotel rooms that have no regard for privacy, but this is taking things to a whole new level! Well, at least you can rush to toilet in no time at all after a long night out.

The Price Of Parking For Two Decades

Hardly anyone would believe this image is actually real. How could parking possibly cost this much if most people don’t even earn this in a whole year?

After A Long Time

The Price Of Parking For Two Decades

Unfortunately, there is no obvious mistake here. If you look a bit closer, you will notice that the ticket actually dates back to the year 1996. So, if you’re planning on parking your car here for about two decades, you can expect to pay this amount for parking.

Invalidating Efforts

This sign was installed to make sure disabled individuals steer clear of the elevators. Although, a vital error was made when the braille was covered with glass by whoever installed the sign.

Not Very Inclusive

Invalidating Efforts

We can only hope someone reports this to management before trouble arises. Perhaps odd sink designs and concrete pools are not the worst mistakes hotels have made! This is the kind of case that warrants some glass breaking, as the sign is indeed quite important for the patrons’ safety.

Triple The Workout

This man believed that the gym looked a lot larger in the picture than it did in real life. Maybe he got triple the workout, or perhaps his reflections acted as strict supervision. Who knows, maybe feeling watched by yourself is enough motivation to make it through…

A Matter Of Deception

Triple The Workout

What a smart way to get your tiny gym area to look much larger. Simply add plenty of mirrors! At least this dude can get a 360-degree look at all of his muscles and see his gains in full detail.

Pointless Braille

We can only hope that this sign is not permanent. Clearly, the braille used here is entirely pointless. Hopefully, someone was nearby to help whichever blind person arrived at the general room area.

The Braille Is Useless Here

Pointless Braille

Even though this sign may have been a measure to cut costs, no business should compromise the service that disabled individuals receive, especially if it was pointless to print it in the first place! Whoever put this sign up must believe that blind people are psychic.

Pirate Signs

This hotel must be run by pirates considering the pirate language on their signs. In all honesty, a pirate hotel sounds quite exciting! Prepare to be boarded, me maties!

Talking Like Pirates

Pirate Signs

Realistically this hotel is not run by pirates, and this sign is merely another terrible case of inadequate translation. However at least the message the sign is conveying is clear; the water is good. This sign would greatly benefit a real pirate stranded on a deserted island.

Not The Best Breakfast Menu

While coco pops are quite tasty, we are not so sure about coco poops. Once again, correct spelling can make a world of difference. Coco poops for breakfast anyone?

The Breakfast Menu

Not The Best Breakfast Menu

This should definitely be reported to some sort of health inspector. Maybe the staff was still a bit tired from all the hard work installing all those taps in the mysteriously odd bathroom. As much as we laughed at this spelling error, we might not be able to look at coco pops the same way again…

Extra Length Legs Needed

Here we can see just how the wrong placement of certain bathroom items can truly ruin the whole functionality of a bathroom. How are guests expected to reach the toilet paper if this guy’s legs don’t even reach?

Calling Mister Fantastic

Extra Length Legs Needed

No one wants to find themselves in this type of situation. Even though the toilet paper is there, it is just too far to reach! We cannot believe that management actually thought it would be alright to leave the toilet paper so far out of reach. This is a mindless act of bathroom etiquette abuse!

One Small Person Only

Usually, elevators are quite spacious and for several essential reasons. However, this elevator clearly only permits one small person. Imagine what pure hell it would be if this elevator got stuck! On the other hand, it must be quite offensive to those of us who are slightly on the larger side and would not fit in here!

Not For Claustrophobes

One Small Person Only

Maybe this is management’s cruel way of encouraging guests to get more exercise by using the stairs instead! Hopefully, the stairs here aren’t tiny too…

Just Vacuuming The Sidewalk

Nothing strange happening here, just a dedicated hotel employee hard at work maintaining cleanliness by vacuuming the sidewalk. Ok, maybe this is actually a bit strange…

Cleaning The Sidewalk

Just Vacuuming The Sidewalk

Regardless, perhaps this kind of dedication to cleanliness should be an inspiration to us all. This may not be a hotel fail, but it is something of an unusual sight. We do feel sorry for this employee, however, who has been forced to double as a street cleaner, for no apparent reason.

Badly Designed Bathroom

A flooded bathroom can be a real nightmare, and even though this elegant design might look charming, the problem here is quite clear. Someone should definitely suggest a better idea to the management!

Flooded Bathroom

Badly Designed Bathroom

Despite this being annoying, the flooded bathroom would also pose an increased risk of slipping and getting hurt. Maybe this is the same hotel with the sign encouraging guests to slip with grace? Seriously though, a mindless bathroom setup like this could easily lead to patrons being injured and structural damage from flooding.

Decor Vent

This vent must be here purely as a decor item. Which leaves us questioning the designers and their artistic vision…

Decor Vent

Decor Vent

There really is no logical reason for this vent to be drilled onto the tiled walls. The lack of ventilation would also make something of a problem for steamy showers and hot baths, leading to hazardous mold problems… So maybe it is there to pose as if they are doing the job while they clearly are not. They clearly have a very low opinion of their guests’ intelligence.

Cutting Costs

While this closet clearly needs two doors, management probably thought they could get away with installing one multi-purpose door. Sometimes, cutting costs is not a logical option. The management here clearly has many glaring holes in their quality control.

Cutting Costs

Cutting Costs

This has to be one of the cheekiest examples of cost-cutting ‘ingenuity’ we have ever seen. You need to choose which room is less spooky when you go to bed at this fine establishment. Don’t worry, there probably aren’t any skeletons in the closet…

Clearly Disregarding Suggestions

A regular box simply would not do for this hotel, which clearly wanted to let their guests know just how much they value suggestions. Or rather, just how little they regard suggestions. Considering this box here is a paper shredder…

Screenshot 5

Clearly Disregarding Suggestions

While this charming idea does deserve a round of applause, we can only hope some guests see the humor rather than being highly offended! Too bad for management, the power of the internet and online reviews far exceeds that of their rude paper shredder.

Disappointing Gift

Some hotels give their most loyal customers some kind of reward such as exclusive discounts or even free gifts. So you can only imagine just how thrilled this guest must have been to find this seemingly generous gift box on their arrival.

Screenshot 6

Disappointing Gift

Unfortunately, the excitement was soon met with shock and disappointment upon discovering the large box contained no more than two Hershey candies that must have been leftover from the previous Halloween. This is actually quite rude…

For The Supernatural

Ghostly spirits and supernatural entities probably appreciate their very own room to relax in a while watching over the mortal realm. This hotel must be very serious about the type of treatment haunting entities get considering they must have crafted this room, especially for those who can actually float.

Screenshot 7

For The Supernatural

This could be the only partially logical explanation for how this room came to be. Why else would anyone go through the effort of getting those chairs up there?

Awkward Mirror

Hotels don’t normally boast about their mirrors, but perhaps this should actually be something guests enquire about. Who wants to stay in a luxury hotel when the mirrors make you look awkward and ugly?

Screenshot 8

Awkward Mirror

Clearly, this hotel was not attempting to cut costs considering they must have spent a small fortune on those granite countertops, making the awful mirror even more of a curious item to be found here… We could get hours of hilarity out of this circus act.

What A “Hot” Hotel

It is beyond odd that the word “hot” literally caught on fire. Perhaps the service here really is smoking! That, or their electrician needs to be fired.

Screenshot 10

What A “Hot” Hotel

There really is no sense in how this could possibly happen. How did the other letters remain untouched by the flames? Like it or not, this business just opened up a new type of accommodation, the ‘el’. In all seriousness, a fire hazard in a crowded and cramped place like a cheap hotel is no laughing matter!

Toilet Paper Display

This display area should be for a priceless antique vase or some charming expensive ornament. However, this motel clearly takes the importance of loo paper to the next level by having it on display like this. We understand that toilet paper is a vital part of human civilization and that without it all order and sanity would quickly fall apart, but why don’t we try and keep toiletries where they belong?

Screenshot 111

Toilet Paper Display

We can only hope this toilet paper was placed here with the intention of making guests laugh…

Can’t Guess This Password

This hotel is a bit too worried non-guests are going to guess their WiFi password and get access to free internet. So they formulated an ingenious plan to make the password something no one would guess, or maybe they thought the Mary Poppins reference was hilarious…

Screenshot 121

Can’t Guess This Password

They probably should have considered the trouble their paying guests would have trying to type in this annoying password… At least they score highly in the security department, and you can be sure that hacking their router would not be easy.

Insulation Needed

Winter in Montana can be quite chilly. However, this makes it even less excusable for hotels not to have adequate insulation. This door looks like it leads to Antarctica, and we really would be too scared to try and open it. You never know whether a yeti is waiting on the other side!

Screenshot 131

Insulation Needed

The guests staying here during winter are likely disappointed in their choice of hotel. Hopefully, they remembered to pack extra warm clothing and brought the shovel with them.

Spare Toothbrush Uses

Here’s a handy hack you may have never thought of using only a toothbrush. If your toilet paper holder is missing that crucial holding piece, just get out your spare toothbrush!

Screenshot 16

Spare Toothbrush Uses

Not a bad idea but pretty disgusting in a hotel room you paid for! Ten points for creative thinking, minus 100 points for gross ideas! We are not going to judge too harshly, as we understand that many people find themselves in survival mode when they enter certain hotels for an extreme stay.

They Were On Sale

When things are on sale, it is not all that uncommon for people to decide to buy more than one. However, this principle does not apply to things such as paintings, especially if you are going to hang them both in the same room. Right next to each other.

Screenshot 17

They Were On Sale

If you really must buy multiple identical paintings, maybe it would be a better idea to save the extra ones as replacements. Or simply hang them in seperate rooms! This really is not a good look!

Harry Potter Stairs

This must be a Harry Potter Hotel, and that must be the iconic moving staircase. There really is no other explanation. It seems like halfway up, management decided to go in a separate direction altogether. They might think that the staircase is a pretty installation, but try telling that to someone that just huffed their way up this flight for nothing.

Screenshot 18

Harry Potter Stairs

Even though these are really beautiful stairs, if they have no purpose, what is the point in keeping them?

Best to Sit In The Front Row

This must be beyond disappointing; booking a room in a hotel that boasts its very own cinema room, only to later discover that there is no big screen and merely an ordinary little TV. We don’t understand why a place would go through the money and trouble needed to build an entire theatre, only to install a television. Come one people, projectors are not that expensive!

Screenshot 19

Best to Sit In The Front Row

Fake advertising strikes again! Hotel owners seem to find fooling the public child’s play…

Something Odd About That Cart

There definitely is something a bit too strange about that maid’s cart. Could it possibly be that the hotel staff decided a stolen shopping cart could perhaps pass as a maid’s cart?

Screenshot 20

Something Odd About That Cart

Nevermind that they at least tried to make do with what they had, there is simply so much wrong with what’s happening here! You might think that a homeless person had wandered into this hotel. This institution really needs to get its staff proper equipment.

Stairs From Hell

This carpet design may look fabulous in a room with the right furnishings. However, this type of design should never be used on stairs, unless of course, the plan is to have your guests kill themselves!

Screenshot 211

Stairs From Hell

It would be wise to hold onto the railings when using these stairs. This seems so incredibly dangerous… If your eyes started hurting just by looking at this picture, you are not alone. Now, imagine having to navigate this oppressive optical illusion!

After Hours Ass

This elevator has a button for “after hours ass.” While we can only imagine what after-hours ass actually is, perhaps they are actually offering after-hours assISTANCE? Some words simply cannot be abbreviated.

Screenshot 23

After Hours Ass

Hopefully, this error gets sorted out soon before a guest actually takes them up on the misleading offer… They might be highly disappointed when a burly middle-aged man in blue overalls arrives, rather than an attractive young woman. Either way, you should not have pressed the button if you didn’t need to!

Very Specific Safety Instructions

This hotel, located in Singapore, decided to go the extra mile in warning their guests of the dangers that could arise. The very specific safety instructions may be badly worded, but it would probably be best to take their advice and avoid the “dark place, lonely place”!

Screenshot 24

Very Specific Safety Instructions

Although interestingly worded, it all seems like sound advice and that they are looking out for their guests with the best intentions! Some of the prohibited colorful characters might not be that enticing to you, but sadly many tourists will indulge in their ‘services’.

That’s Hardly A View

This hotel was recommended for the spectacular view from the window of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. The large arrow pointing to the building proves that this is hardly a view to boast about.

Screenshot 25

That’s Hardly A View

How incredibly disappointing this realization must have been! Once again, it is probably best to double-check rather than go on advertising. Remember that many institutions will put an absolute minimal detail as a full point of interest, like being able to see the very tip of the Capitol Building.

Awful Art for A Hotel Room

We’ve all seen those horror films where guests check into a hotel room only to be spied on by a psychopath through a painting. Understandably, this piece of art is logically an awful choice for a hotel room.

Screenshot 26

Awful Art for A Hotel Room

It may be best to check out immediately rather than have sleepless nights wondering if the artwork on the wall really is watching you! Even if everything had to be kosher in this room, this creepy work of art is not the best way to make guests feel comfortable.

A Lovely View Of The Bricks

This could be expected when you pick the cheapest room in the hotel. You could only expect to have a lovely view of the bricks from your window. Sometimes a small saving is really not worth it at all!

Screenshot 27

A Lovely View Of The Bricks

Maybe next time it would be a better idea to spend a bit extra and be able to look at more than, um, bricks. A window is meant to make you feel less claustrophobic in a room, but the irony of this fixture is that it makes that cramped feeling so much worse!

Definitely No Fires In The Shower

You definitely won’t have to worry about the danger of a fire while you are in the shower in this hotel. That’s because the shower is protected with a fire sprinkler!

Screenshot 29

Definitely No Fires In The Shower

As if the water spraying out of the shower would not be able to put out a fire. Clearly, this hotel takes extra care when considering the safety of its guests. If you want to take an extra powerful shower, why not light a cigarette in the shower and enjoy both water sources?

Really Unnecessary

So, “G” is for Lobby, Reception, Restaurant, and 1st Floor, “1” is for the 2nd and 3rd Floor, obviously “2” is for the fourth floor… We would love to learn the logic behind this setup.

Screenshot 30

Really Unnecessary

There is really no logical reasoning behind this. Unless the plan is to ensure guests get very confused… This hotel probably wanted its guests to explore its property as thoroughly as possible, which is what will end up doing if you decide to take this elevator. Eenie-Meenie-Mo, anyone?

A Rubbish View

This view is literally rubbish. It may be best to keep the curtains closed if you find yourself checking into this hotel room! No one wants to wake up to the uninspiring scene of a large garbage container, but I guess that with a hotel like this, you get what you paid for.

Screenshot 32

A Rubbish View

Leaving the curtains open may be somewhat entertaining. That is if you enjoy the sight of rodents fighting for leftovers, and that is the least of your troubles! The smell must be horrendous.

A Little Bit Of A Big Mistake

Finding your way with the help of this sign may be daunting. Would rooms 201-216 be to the right or to the left? Who knows… There is only way to find out, and it involves a lot of legwork. You could also flip a coin, or if you are really desperate, call the manager.

Screenshot 33

A Little Bit Of A Big Mistake

Perhaps it would be best to have the guests escorted to their rooms. Or maybe the signs should be replaced so that guests are actually able to find their way?

Horror Shower

Some designs simply do not belong in hotels, and certain shower curtain designs should simply not exist. Unless this is meant to be a hotel of horrors and terrifying experiences, there really is no reason for this shower curtain to be here!

The Worst Shower Curtain Design

Horror Shower

Perhaps management should reconsider whoever is in charge of selecting the decor! One could only hope that this is the only terrible decor decision that exists in this hotel… Or risk finding more guests strangling themselves.

Luxury Shower (If You Sit Down)

Luxury Shower (If You Sit Down)

Luxury Shower (If You Sit Down)

Either this dude is extremely tall, or they placed the showerhead in an entirely impractical position for the average human height. Exactly the kind of relaxing shower one wants in a hotel. We hope they also provide the appropriate stool for such a shower. Having to squat down just to clean yourself is not ideal. This man’s head seems to be almost touching the ceiling! They need to create a hotel for extraordinary tall people.

Maids Going Mad

Maids Going Mad

Maids Going Mad

This photo demonstrates the other side of the coin – there are clientele going mad from badly placed showerheads and there are maids going mad from finding notes in between sheets trying to catch them out! Cleaning up after what is generally a colorful selection of guests means that cleaners have plenty of crazy stories. We must take our hats off to these brave individuals, who risk all manner of diseases and possibly even injuries while on the job.

Celebrating Love All Shapes and Sizes

Celebrating Love All Shapes And Sizes

Celebrating Love All Shapes And Sizes

This motel sign definitely takes the biscuit. We all know what motels are infamous for, but this one says it loud and proud. You need not act sheepish or need to hide your intentions from a potentially judgmental reception when you swing into this joint with a partner. We also love that they support LGBTQ+! More hotels and motels need to be more accepting and accommodating to the diverse populations that they host. Let it be known that you will certainly enjoy a night at the Austin Motel!

Butt Rubbed

Butt Rubbed

Butt Rubbed

This one is even more specific than the other note we already saw, letting you really picture some stranger’s butt rubbing all over what you had hoped were your nice clean sheets in a nice clean hotel room. It has to be said that some people do not have in them to think of future guests when staying in a room. But how many of them would actively go out of their way to make life more unpleasant for others?

Getting stuck in the shower, naked, and having to ask the maintenance man for help, is definitely a seriously scary nightmare… We think the guy in the shower thinks that if he stands really still he might become invisible. Thankfully, this gentleman was handed a towel to stop people from seeing his private parts, but he still looks like he would rather be dangerously near an active volcano than in this humiliating situation. We don’t blame him, this is quite a nightmarish experience!
