Comment on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels
banause@feddit.org 1 day agoI’ve never seen a hotel without a bathroom door either?!
Is this just US-Defaultism again?
Seen it in a recently refurbished one in central Glasgow.
Tiny room - described with "En-suite shower room with glass partitions "
Cheap. I'm sure it's just to squeeze a few more rooms in, so if the price stays low and it's clearly described, I don't see the problem.
Nope. I travel for work quite a bit, stay in a lot of hotels. The bathroom door is a shitty sliding door far more often than a regular door. It’s one of the many things I hate about hotels now. All the little leds on the various detectors that light the room and flash all night is the thing that really gets me though. I keep a roll of gaff tape in my travel kit so I can tape all the lights, the shitty curtains, and whatever else I have to tape to make it dark enough to sleep in.
I haven’t had too many issues lately with hotels and obnoxious lights. And I think it’s because manufacturers have changed something. But every once in a while there’s some device that has a pinprick hole with a blue led behind it that acts like a damn flashlight and sends a faint blue beam across the room, or if it’s aimed at you:
Not even, this is just some relatively new corporate abuse masquerading as some common place thing.
They saw some shit on the Internet and it’s definitely real and everywhere 🙄.
I’ve seen it in several hotels around Europe
But not in Europe. Checkmate.

Yeah. I’ve traveled a lot this year, and the negative trend I’ve been observing here in Europe is not a lack of bathroom doors, but the fact that the showers themselves are not 360° surrounded by walls, panes or shower curtains anymore. So now there’s no way bathroom floors can stay dry.
