  I’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.

  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.
