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”.
Fuck that. When I travel with my family it’s important that they see me shit. How else can I keep my position as patriarch?
I love my wife dearly.
I don’t want to watch/hear/smell when she takes a shit.
Bring back doors
My boyfriend and me have a system where one of us always has to “quickly grab something and follow after a few minutes” whenever we leave a hotel room with too little privacy.
sounds like your wife is already bringing her backdoor
Went with my partner to a really cute cabin for a vacation. It was a yurt, and really nice except the partition to the bathroom was just a curtain and the wall didn’t go to the ceiling. It was at least behind a wall so there was a small modicum of privacy
So waaaaaaay too much cheese on both our parts lead to some very unpleasant bathroom trips and a resulting overload of senses. There was a window, fortunately, though it was fairly ineffective but we learned to excuse ourselves from the cabin when the other had to shit their brains out
I 100% agree with this. People don’t just go to hotels with their partner. Sometimes they have to share a room with a colleague.
I don’t want to shit in the same room my partner is in
I don’t want to shit in the same room that I am in all night, either
True, but I would mind it less than with others.
It lists 9 cities I’m literally never going to see much less stay at. I also didn’t see any hotels without doors named anywhere.
This is just ad spam with affiliate links to booking dot com. Fuck spammers, fuck OP and fuck third party booking site scumbags.
Luckily, our laws demands bathroom doors. Which was a pain in the … for my coworker. New built house, everything was ready to move in, but the contractor f-ed up the bathroom door, and they had to wait with their move until that was fixed.
I stay in hotels 20 to 40 times a year, I’ve only had one place with glass doors, and none with no doors. That’s in every state in the West, hand the States in the Midwest, and a could in the southeast.
Even if you are alone in a hotel room, having a door is very helpful if you take a very hot steamy shower. No fan can control the humidity in real time. I usually close the door when I am done and leave the fan on for a while to get the humidity out. It makes your stay more comfortable.
Do bathroom fans even exist outside of the US? I’m mostly joking, but seriously did not see a single one while staying in Japan or Europe.
Where is this found? I’ve stayed in maybe 10 hotels in California this year plus plenty in previous years (and a few in other states) and never seen this.
Is it maybe a thing in small rooms (I travel with family so never book anything with less than two beds).
Do these hotels also ban minors from staying at hotels? There’s a big problem if they don’t.
Went to a real fancy hotel and was so relieved to see a door. Walked into the room and the whole fuckin wall in front of the shower and toilet was a pane of glass. Thank god I was with my S.O. but I still pooped with the lights off
lol i once slept in a hotel with glass-doors for the bathroom, same but equally bad
Ice traveled out of state about 10 times this year to 4 different states and I haven’t seen one without a door.
The hotel casinos are awesome because we all have to pretend to not see each other complete naked while taking a shower. All doors from the bed to the shower are glass.
I have seen pictures and videos about these strange design decisions. But I don’t know if the guests simply accepted their fate or if they complained.
I wouldn’t want to pay full price for a room with missing bathroom doors. Or a window in the wall to the bathroom.

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?

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.

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

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.
