I’m done. I’m done arriving at hotels and discovering that they have removed the bathroom door. Something that should be as standard as having a bed, has been sacrificed in the name of “aesthetic”.

I never heard of this phenomenon. What on earth? Do you just shit next to your bed like a prisoner (I don’t even want this for prisoners?)? I don’t see any photos on the site. Surely this isn’t that common?
I’ve never seen a hotel without a bathroom door either?!
Is this just US-Defaultism again?
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.
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:
Or get a face mask?
Lol. Yeah. I don’t like the sensation of things be attached to my face and I move a lot in my sleep, so I wake up with the mask stretched across my face in uncomfortable ways.
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.
Not even, this is just some relatively new corporate abuse masquerading as some common place thing.
I’ve seen it in several hotels around Europe
But not in Europe. Checkmate.
They saw some shit on the Internet and it’s definitely real and everywhere 🙄.
Have seen similar in Australia. The bathrooms of some more modern hotels seem to gravitate towards using a sort of sliding door / partition system for the bathroom. I can only assume it’s significantly cheaper and quicker than building actual walls and doors.
