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’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:

          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.
