If you're cofortable enough to share a hotel room, you should be willing to watch them poop. Lighten up.

#142While we’re at it, bring back shower doors/curtains. It’s such a pain having this huge puddle outside the shower just because they decided it shouldn’t have one. It’s not so common to be missing one in US hotels, but it’s common internationally. Edit: apparently the virus has spread, and some US hotels now don’t have them
Every single place I’ve stayed in Europe had no shower door, and nothing to prevent the water from spilling out. Occasionally I get lucky and the floor is constructed sufficiently concave so at least the water flows into the drain

But how would you know until it's too late and you've already checked in? Doesn't seem to be a very effective way of achieving this... Just means my mate and I wouldn't go back to that hotel again.
There are photos online and video tours of every hotel room on the planet. Check before booking.
I saw an interview with this person. Often the photos of rooms will be taken from the door-frame of the bathroom looking in or out. So not obvious if there is an actual door.

There must be two types of people/couples. Those that prefer privacy and those that don't care.
I’ve actually ended otherwise decent relationships early because the other person was way too coy/upset with bodily functions like farting and pooping. If we’er sleeping together I expect us to be farting together. And if we are living together I expect us to be using the toilet in front of each other. Anything less is both inconvenient and reflective of deep personality conflicts that will never be resolved.
Sounds like there's going to be someone around who's bound to be the source of deep personality conflicts all right.

#146The hotel industry is bizarre. I feel like we hit this maxima circa 2005 where prefabrication made for the shockingly cheap/nice Hampton Inn style hotels in the US.
Now those places anre on the wrong side of the depreciation curve, and every chain hotel is a little worse every day. They bill upfront since COVID, don’t clean the room, shrink the towels and deliver a shittier level of service. I was at a Marriott recently where the room had no linens - no towels, sheets, pillows, nothing.
I called and was instructed to do everything myself, and the hotel GM’s attitude was that “shit happens”.

#147I wonder if this is because hotels are in a race to seem "cool" and "edgy." Will this trend get to the point where they cut a hole on the middle of the mattress and tell you to just lie down and shit right there?
Re: Bring bathroom doors back to hotels
#148Huh.. I've stayed in over 1,000 hotels and Airbnbs over the last 15 years and not once saw a bathroom with no door. Lots of bathroom windows, but always some kind of door.
A lot of them are becoming barn style sliding doors, with large gaps. So if you’re making some noise, everyone will hear you.
The worst aspect of the TWA Hotel at JFK Airport was the sliding bathroom door. Almost everything else about the place was really great but the bathroom door wae 1/2" from the face of the wall and bounced off the end of the slider track.

#149This is a thing? I've only stayed at Premier Inns (a budget UK hotel chain) and have never heard of anything like this happening.
High end hotels are more likely to follow the fads in my experience. The cheap ones have a door but it might be damaged

Literally false.
